Our band (48 members) will resume rehearsals in 2 weeks. When surveyed, half of our group said they would not return unless vaccination was mandated, so we have instituted a vaccination policy with proof by vaccination card. Only 2 members have declined.
The school that is our venue is allowing us to use their auditorium stage for rehearsals, which will allow more distancing than the Band Room that we usually use.
We have written policies about how we will handle instrument condensation/drainage, and what happens if a member tests positive. We aren't using masks or bell covers for the reasons already outlined by other posters. (Imagine the poor trumpet player who would have to take off the cover to put in a mute!)
BTW, Djudy, "vaccinated" and "recovered" aren't equivalent. Someone who has recovered but hasn't then received a vaccine (recommended in US, at least) has more than twice the risk for recurrent infection.
