Wind players will NOT be required to wear a player’s mask while playing their instruments, but will need to wear a mask while they are resting or on break. Bell covers are required. If you do not have a bell cover one will be provided for you.

Strings and percussion will be required to wear a mask during the entirety of auditions and rehearsals. If you have any questions surrounding these protocols please contact our office at 325.677.6710
