“For as long as there have been people, there has been music. Music makes us more human and making music together makes us better people. Music making with others teaches empathy, acceptance, and understanding. Music making is essential to the human experience.”
COVID-19
TYO Rehearsals:
TYO will be following the most recent CDC and FSU College of Music's Protocols COVID-19.
All participants and staff of the Tallahassee Youth Orchestras 2021-2022 season will be expected to adhere to the current CDC, Florida State University, and Leon County Covid safety guidelines. Please see the CDC web page for information on safety guidelines and recommendations.
-
First and foremost, if you do not feel well, you should not come to rehearsal (flu, COVID, fever, signs of contagious illness). If anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID, do not attend rehearsals until 10 days after the household is clear of the illness (be sure to let TYO know and we will work to set up a Zoom session for you to "sit in" on your rehearsal)
-
Intermezzo and Chamber students will not share stands and will be seated 3 feet apart
-
Rehearsal start times are staggered to reduce entry and hallway traffic
-
In order to maintain lower numbers in our rehearsal rooms, parents should leave students at the room door after they check in for rehearsals
