I'd like to suggest that, perhaps orgs should consider a second change (for
those that don't already):
When a positive case is reported to a dance org a few days after a dance
(and thus in a contagious window) perhaps _all dancers_ should be
encouraged to rapid test, and not merely people who show symptoms. I
realize not everyone will do it, but it costs nothing to ask folks and try
and limit asymptomatic spread. (I'll bring this with my org next meeting.)
In dance,

Thanks Penelope, so far so good(ish).
Regarding the language, I plan on revising our policy to specify a
deadline of 4 hours before the event start time - hopefully sufficient to
find alternative talent in case of a positive result yet support timely
data.

And this is (part of) the insidious problem with
an often symptomless
disease. Of course if we test as a pro forma, we expect a negative result.
Don, I hope you come through quickly at remains a mild case.

*Subject:* [Organizers] Re: Performer "Testing to Unmask" Policy Timing
Liz, that makes perfect sense in retrospect. However, many venues do not
require testing for folks who remain masked and have had a "test in to
unmask" approach for performers while on stage (where they were masked
elsewhere and, until receiving a negative result, on stage as well).
Greenfield's own central policy states:
"Band members may unmask when on-stage for some series, but only if they
have a negative rapid test on the day of the dance. Event publicity will
clearly state whether performers may be unmasked at that specific event."
Note there's no specific timeline stated there for when the testing shall
happen other than it be on the day of.
That's the point I'm raising from our recent experience.

I would have thought that anyone testing before attending or performing
at a dance would determine that their test was actually negative before
entering the hall and potentially exposing people.

For those of you with a COVID policy regarding testing (particularly re:
performers "testing in" to be on stage unmasked) - please consider your
lead time and possibilities for contingency action. We'll be changing the
policy of our dance due to our experience tonight.
Our caller (me!) tested upon arrival at the hall. Entered masked, helped
get set up going and then discovered a positive result. Thirty minutes to
the first dance, folks already en route. Best efforts made, the dance was
able to happen without me but just barely.
We will be requiring this optional testing now to happen within a
specified period which will provide for sufficient time to react
appropriately before the event set up commences.
