ATTENDANCE POLICIES:
Rose City Flute Choir (RCFC) is an adult volunteer organization. As adults, we need to all be responsible for attending as many rehearsals as humanly possible–at least 70%. Remember, EVERYONE plays an important role in RCFC and it’s important that all parts are covered & balanced at rehearsals. Attendance is important to the continuing quality of the group and is required at a minimum of two of the last three rehearsals prior to a performance. See Policies & Information
***REMINDER: Please avoid wearing or reapplying perfumes and scented cosmetics before rehearsals and performances—several members are allergic or sensitive to scents.
If you must miss a rehearsal or concert, please call or text Phyllis at 503-703-7961 or email at phyllislouke@gmail.com, as soon as you know of the conflict.
COVID POLICIES:
The RCFC Board met recently and decided to eliminate the Covid vaccination requirement. The RCFC Board has recently decided to end the Covid vaccination requirement. Although no longer required by RCFC, we encourage players to stay current on Covid vaccinations. That said, if you do not feel well, have a fever (101 or higher), cold-like symptoms, and/or cough, or if you have had a close-contact exposure to Covid, please stay home and don’t come to rehearsal. If you are asymptomatic and test negative 5-7 days after exposure (PCR test preferred), then you may return to rehearsal. If you test positive, you may return to rehearsal after the standard quarantine protocol AND you test negative for Covid. This policy is subject to change at any time without prior notice and will be based on CDC recommendations.
REHEARSALS: Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:00pm. Bring your instrument and a music stand. A stand light is recommended. Please help set up the chairs and re-stack the chairs after rehearsal
