News & Notes

Greetings, UVCB,

Last Saturday we had a highly successful inaugural (2022) trailer parade in Woodstock.  Many thanks to Tom for managing our trailer throughout, and to Liz for directing us while Mark was away.  And the UVCB has been invited back next year!

Our next engagement is the Springfield (VT) Alumni Association Parade, this Saturday, June 18th.  Here is a link to a Google Map of Springfield, VT: 
https://www.google.com/maps/place/197+Clinton+St,+Springfield,+VT+05156/@43.2888787,-72.475018,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e1b909e3855d95:0x43a9775475c7fb1b!8m2!3d43.2888787!4d-72.4728293


We gather at 197 Clinton St. (Rt 11), with parking adjacent to Jake's Market and Deli.  Our trailer will stage there as well.

Below are annotated screenshots.  Please plan to arrive by 9:30, (for the organizer's 10:00 AM call time) and remember to bring a chair, music stand, and water bottle.  Small parade books will be available for any who need one.  And please check your email first thing on Saturday morning, in case any  last minute notices are necessary.



Zoomed in:



See you this Saturday for our second UVCB Trailer Parade!  Weather forecast is nice, but cool.  Those who have UVCB sweatshirts will be glad they do!

Our next rehearsal is this coming Monday, 6/20, at the OSLC when we resume preparing for our summer concert series (different than parades). 

Safe travels and stay well,

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.

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
