2021 Season Rehearsal and Performance Schedule
Rehearsal Call Time: Start time is 7:00PM. If you are running late, please let the personnel manager or someone in your section know. If you are going to be absent, you need to send an e-mail to Shan, our personnel manager at waukeganbandmembership@gmail.com. Even if you tell someone else that you will be gone, please still follow up with Shan via e-mail.
Concert Call Time: Call times for concerts are at 7:00PM. If you have a recurring issue that will keep you from making that 7:00PM downbeat, please just let the personnel manager know.
Concert Attire: (please contact Dierdre Cook in the clarinet section or email waukeganbandmembership@gmail.com if you have uniform questions)
Black shoes
Black socks
Long black pants or skirt (ankle length)

Reminder to visit our apparel store for other optional items: https://waukeganbandfoundation.itemorder.com/
Emergency Absences: If you are falling ill or have an emergency the day of the concert, please notify the personnel manager, Shan, via e-mail and someone else in your section if possible.
A note on illnesses... If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, - even if you are vaccinated - it is recommended that you get tested and do not come to rehearsal until you have a negative test. Since we are not keeping track of who is vaccinated and who is not, this is the best course of action to keep everyone safe. Our #1 goal is keeping our members safe so as many of us can make music together as possible.
Rehearsal Rain Plan: (note that this is different from the concert rain plan)
If we expect or are experiencing rain for what will be a significant portion of rehearsal, we will relocate to Waukegan High School, Brookside Campus. We will be rehearsing in the gym to distance indoors, and will wear masks at all times except when wind instruments are playing.
Concert Rain Plan: (note that this is different from the rehearsal rain plan)
If we expect or are experiencing rain for what will be a significant portion of a Tuesday night concert, we will cancel our concert for that week and not relocate. We have one date (August 3rd) reserved to make up any potential canceled concerts throughout the season. There will be no indoor performance alternative for concerts this season.
In the event of poor weather conditions, band members will be notified via e-mail, the band website, and Facebook page by 5:00PM. There are at least three of us who manage these channels, so if you see it in one place, you will likely get the notification in others. It just depends on where we are at the time a decision is made.
WORK CREW
Are you interested in making a little extra cash this summer? We are looking for individuals who can commit to most of the season to work set-up and tear down for rehearsals and concerts. This can even be a non-musician family member if you know someone willing to commit to about 45 minutes prior to and 30 minutes following rehearsals and performances. Please email WaukeganBand@gmail.com.
