[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what the 9:30 Club is doing? That seems equally relevant.[/quote]

I feel like the 9:30 club is different -- that's clearly a private group where people chose to go.  (Although I do think they are requiring proof of vaccination, like most concert venues.)  I just don't understand why, with all the restrictions that they continue to put on students that actually impact education, they couldn't just say that they will break the concert up into small component parts.  Do 6th grade band at 7, do 7th grade band at 8, do 8th grade band at 9.  Then do the same with orchestra on a different night.  If you havne't been to one of these concerts before, it's hard to express how incredibly crowded they are.  There's over a thousand kids at the school, and I think half do band or orchestra.

I may skip, but my kid still has to sit in the auditorium for 3 hours with all those people.  And I really don't want to skip -- I'd like to hear my kid play -- but this seems like the least safe thing I've done for two years, so I'm really debating, particularly given the high number of cases at this particular school.  And I'm wondering why MCPS didn't make any alterations to the historical way these concerts have been done.  [/quote]
