Every in person rehearsal will be live streamed on Zoom for students to view at home.
For the first 6 weeks of rehearsals all in-person classes are limited to 15 singers. If a section has more than 15 singers enrolled it will be divided into 2 groups alternating in person and remote participation.
Zoom rehearsal attendance will be tracked – we expect any singers opting for remote participation to attend weekly as if they were in person.
The St. Louis Children’s Choirs is ArtSafe certified. The Missouri Arts Council promotes COVID-19 safe practices by arts and cultural organizations statewide. Certified organizations adhere to a core level of safe practices. For more information about ArtSafe Certification click here.
Medify air purifiers have been purchased for every rehearsal space and will circulate air every 30 minutes. Staff are trained on cleaning procedures and will be thoroughly cleaning spaces in between rehearsals.
All singers and staff will wear face masks at all times when on the property. Social distancing will be enforced with assigned seats spread 6 or more feet apart.
Temperatures will be taken for all singers and staff upon arrival. If anyone is exhibiting any symptoms they will not be admitted to rehearsal. Remote attendance via Zoom is encouraged for any singers with possible COVID symptoms or exposure.
