Soundbytes: music students’ opinions on rehearsing with COVID-19 restrictions

Evelyn Miller and Alice Guo

COVID-19 has affected athletes as well as band, orchestra, and chorus students. Under the new COVID-19 guidelines, band, orchestra, and chorus students have had to find a balance between maintaining a safe environment and maximizing their experience as an ensemble. The Ghostwriter asked the band, orchestra, and chorus students the following questions:

  1. How are you rehearsing with your ensemble virtually? How are you rehearsing with the COVID-19 restrictions?
  2. Will you be holding virtual performances/recording sessions?
  3. What are your thoughts on this year’s new format of rehearsing and performing?
