Welcome


Welcome to Renate's Baton. This blog is mostly for and about my choir, The York Region Community Choir.

But, While I'm holding the baton, I'm in charge. So, if I want to talk about other parts of my life, I will. :)

The choir itself is a community and I'm discovering that we have a lot in common with one another besides our love of music and singing.

When I go off on a tangent, there is always a crowd coming along. Join us!

YRCC Meeting Safely: COVID rules for Choir December 2021

We are so happy and lucky to be able to meet in person, but we're still in a pandemic and have some rules to follow. 

We are all concerned about our safety and hope that we are all doing our best to see that this pandemic comes to an end soon.

Here are some things to note about choir this month, December 6 and 13, 2021:

  1. Wear your mask. Wear your mask any time you are away from your seat. You can sing with your mask on, but you don't have to. We also have plastic face shields for everyone. Give a face shield a try. 
  2. When you arrive each time, you have to check in. We are required to do contact tracing.
  3. Make sure we have your correct phone number.
  4. Bring proof of vaccination. (you just have to show it once)
  5. Chairs will be placed for physical distancing. Do not move them.
  6. Stay healthy and do not come if you are feeling ill, stay home. 
  7. You can screen yourself online before you leave home here. (The Ontario screening tool. It's so easy! Click on "Start Screening" and keep clicking.) 
  8. Or, you can screen yourself using this form, attached, a PDF version. 
  9. Generally, wash your hands often with soap and water and dry them well.
  10. Use hand sanitizer when you can't access soap and water.
  11. Avoid touching your face. 
  12. Only go out when necessary (choir is necessary).
This list and the rules can change and will be updated. 

Stay safe, everyone! I miss you and need to see you again.
