• To participate in any FCO activity for the 2021 fall semester, all musicians, board, staff, and volunteers must be fully vaccinated with the US authorized COVID-19 vaccine. All individuals will be required to show a copy of the vaccination card when checking in at their first rehearsal. You may also show proof ahead of time by emailing a copy of your vaccination card to FCO's Operations Manager at fentoncommunityorchestra@gmail.com. 
• Take the Self Assessment Health Questionnaire prior to attending a rehearsal or FCO activity (outlined in the FCO COVID-Policy forthcoming).
