Please join our meetings a bit early if you can to enjoy a little socializing and to ensure that you get set up and ready to play before the music starts. Our regular monthly playing sessions typically run for 2 hours with a short break in-between.
If your last name begins with M-Z, please bring some snacks for the break during our playing session, if possible.
We continue to be requiring at-home Covid testing the day of the playing, and if possible, asking that you bring your NEGATIVE test to the event in a zipped baggie, or a date-stamped photo otherwise. Of course, positive tests STAY HOME, as well as if you have symptoms of any illness.
Music for the monthly playing is routinely emailed to our membership in advance (as pdf’s). Please print out the music to bring to the session (or to use at home if joining by Zoom). Members will also receive, around the end of the month, an email including the Zoom-link and password for the meeting.
