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.
