News & Notes

Congratulations, UVCB!

Saturday’s successful parade performance was the third show of the 2022 summer season for UVCB.  3 down and 8 to go (!) in what I think is the band’s busiest summer ever - in spite of the lingering pandemic.

Next up is the Orford/Fairlee Parade on Saturday, the Fourth of July.  It’s an especially nice event that UVCB has been playing for years, and uniquely an inter-state event.  At this point we need more players to commit to this gig if we’re to pull it off.  And we need to know soon so we can cancel UVCB’s appearance if need be.  [Call time is 10 a.m., parade start at 11 a.m., finish about noon.  Details about parking, etc. will appear in a subsequent Newsletter.]  If you’ve not completed the Member Availability poll by filling in the spreadsheet, please do so now by clicking here:  
Please indicate your availability here.  If you’ve previously marked yourself ‘Unsure” for the Orford/Fairlee Parade, please consider changing your status to “Yes”.  We’d very much like to make this the successful and fun performance it has always been.  And what better way to celebrate Independence Day!

No Rehearsal Next Monday (June 27)

 

Music  Files

All the music for our parade performances is available in 8-1/2 x 11 format files in parts for each instrument in the folder below.  You may print these for your own use, or use the old small-format books which we’ll have available for the time being. The link to the folder for the other Summer 2022 repertoire is also given below; some of this music will be on concert performances, but not parades.

Looking forward to making music with you all summer!

Sign-Up for Summer Gigs

Please indicate your availability here. Please type your name and instrument on a new line. Then go across and note your availability for each gig. Remember to scroll all the way to the right to indicate for each of the dates currently in the works. 

Please recheck this list from time to time because new engagements may be added.  For example, we have been invited to participate in the Canaan Old Home Days Parade (as we did last year) on Saturday, August 6th at 9:00 AM.


Thank you,

UVCB Covid Policies

CDC currently grades risk of Covid transmission in our surrounding counties as “Medium.”  

Proof of vaccination against Covid (i.e., basic series plus booster unless unable to do so by virtue of timing) continues to be required to participate in any in-person UVCB event.  Members may demonstrate proof by emailing a copy of the CDC card to mark.nunlist@dartmouth.edu or texting that image to him at 603-448-7901.  At the Board’s direction, Mark Nunlist continues to maintain a confidential record of members’ vaccination status.  

There will be occasions when a UVCB member tests Covid-positive.  When this occurs or the Band member believes he or she has been exposed to a Covid-positive individual elsewhere, we ask that the individual notify Mark Nelson and Mark Nunlist.  We can then inform other Band members who might have been exposed themselves by virtue of proximity, enabling them to test / monitor themselves.  

A member who tests Covid-positive is welcome to return to in-person UVCB events following completion of the recommended five-day isolation period plus a further five days of mask-wearing around other people and has obtained a negative Covid antigen test (e.g., an “at-home” Covid test).  Band members occasionally announce that they plan to miss an upcoming rehearsal because they don’t feel well.  We applaud that concern for one another.  Please excuse yourself if you have any symptoms of illness, regardless of any test result, and seek medical care and / or covid testing as appropriate.

Of course, the individual’s own healthcare is of paramount importance, and we encourage members to seek - and be guided by - appropriate medical advice.

Thank you all and stay well,

Mark Nunlist
President, UVCB
