I just learned that our choral director has been fighting so hard to protect us for the last two years that she was nearly fired.
As she put it: I’ve lost one singer to covid, I’m not losing any more.
And so we sing while wearing masks, in less traditional formations, in spaces with a great deal of air and space to spread the audience out. The audiences have to prove they’ve been vaccinated or gotten a negative test in under 24 hours.
Singing is one of the most dangerous things one can do during this pandemic. Audience members who are so selfish that they’re willing to harm and even kill the people around them at a concert are a perfect example of WHY we’ve lost over a million people in this country in such a short time. No sense of civic responsibility or basic decency.
