    • In recognition of the COVID pandemic, Bel Canto Senior Singers would like to continue to ask singers to agree to these precautions. Thank you for your kind care of one another through the pandemic and as we look ahead.
    • Senior Singers agree to:  ​
    1.  Stay home when not feeling well.
    2.  Get tested if experiencing COVID symptoms and contact us if you have a positive result.   Bel Canto Senior Singers will notify choir members if they've been exposed, however,  individuals will not be identified.
    3. After a positive COVID test, Bel Canto is following the CDC guidelines for safely returning to rehearsal: You should isolate for 5 days following the first day of symptoms or positive test (whichever came first). Provided you have no symptoms after that, you need to wear a mask in public for the next 5 days but can return to rehearsal. If you continue to have symptoms, you should wait to return until after day ten or when your symptoms are improving and you have been fever free for at least 24 hours (whichever comes later). You must wear a mask through day 10 at least. Likewise, if you know you have been exposed to COVID, the CDC recommends and we ask that you wear a mask in public for 10 days.
    4. Senior Singers are welcome to wear masks, but masks are not required.

      By the way, you can still get 10 tests mailed to your home for free each month      : https://sayyescovidhometest.org/
  • Senior Singers groups at San Camillo and Saint John's on the Lake are open only to residents and will adhere to the COVID policies of those communities.

A typical rehearsal begins with gentle stretching and vocal warm-ups, and the bulk of rehearsal is spent learning the music that will be performed at the semester-end concert (Fall or Spring).  Rehearsals are weekly and run 1.5 hours long.
