Covid protocols

Rehearsals began again on 5th September 2021...

To play safely, we MUST follow these protocols, so please make sure you're prepared!

BEFORE
You must print and bring your own music. You'll get an email to tell you which pieces we'll be playing at the next rehearsal (or click on the rehearsal in the CALENDAR), and which are new arrangements. You'll need to log in to the MRCO website, go to MUSIC, click on the piece and scroll down to find your part on the pdf.

Problems with logging in? Contact Thure: thure@etzold.name
Problems printing out music? Contact Melinda before Thursday: melindarigby@gmail.com

Ensemble leaders will be in touch directly with their groups.

BETWEEN NOON ON SATURDAY AND NOON ON SUNDAY
You must complete your COVID personal risk assessment form before you come. Check beforehand that your log-in details still work!

Go to https://www.mrco-cambridge.org and click on LOGIN at top right, and log in. Go to the CALENDAR page and confirm you are attending a rehearsal by using the dropdown next to the date. Then click on Rehearsal to get details for that date. Click on COVID personal risk assessment form in the grey box to do your assessment for that date.
