News & Notes

Greetings, UVCB,

This evening (April 18), I plan to rehearse the following:
 
Lemons and Limes
My Grandfather’s Clock
Hopkins waltz
West Side Story medley
Homage to Bharat
Ravel
African Blues

I will bring hard copies of this new tune to the rehearsal.  
I have uploaded a single file, containing all parts of this song, to Google Drive; here’s the link.  If you download the file, you may print just the page you need.  
Again – I’ll have hard copies!!

Looking forward,
Mark

Greetings to UVCB and Happy Easter,

Our next rehearsal is today, April 18, 7:00 PM at OSLC 
 

News

We have begun rehearsing a medley from West Side Story.  Parts for this piece are available in this folder on UVCB's Google Drive account.  

As I wrote last week, the UVCB is planning to perform in the Norwich gazebo on Sunday, May 29, as part of the town’s Memorial Day observance.  Separately, we remain committed to a performance in the next six weeks or so, date and locale to be determined.  

Marilyn Hill (our UVCB Webmaster) will be recording scheduled UVCB events on our website as they are confirmed.  Tom McNeil, and David Perlman will be setting up Google Sheets on which UVCB members can indicate availability to perform at upcoming scheduled gigs and we plan reminders as the events approach in our newsletters.

 

Entertainment

If you haven’t already seen this, check out "These new spaces are all designed to be flexible."   

It’s a short clip of Ben Folds (the National Symphony Orchestra Artistic Advisor) at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts five years ago.

 

Music parts

If you do not have parts for music we rehearse, we invite you to download and print the relevant music from this website:"November 2021 parts" folder.  (This site contains parts for most – if not all – of the music we’ve been rehearsing.)   If you need parts but are unable to obtain them from this site, please email our Music Librarian, Jane Sachs, at jsachsnh@gmail.com so that she can provide copies at rehearsal.  Thank you all; these steps will minimize rehearsal time devoted to distribution of parts.
 

Covid policies

We look forward to the possibility of relaxing our Covid policies once we move outdoors in warmer weather (whenever that arrives). While we rehearse indoors however, proof of vaccination against Covid (i.e., basic series plus booster) 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 me at 603-448-7901.  At the Board’s direction, I continue to maintain a confidential record of members’ vaccination status.  

Fellow Band members occasionally announce that they plan to miss an upcoming rehearsal because they don’t feel well.  We allapplaud 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.

There will be occasions when a UVCB member tests Covid-positive in these settings, despite having previously received a primary Covid vaccination series and booster.  This situation prompted our Board to update our UVCB Covid policies in accordance with current CDC guidance as follows:

Any UVCB member to 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). I am happy to share the rationale for that decision with any interested party.

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
