In-Person Ensemble Rehearsal

In JAE rehearsals will be held at North Chevy Chase Christian Church, 8814 Kensington Parkway, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 beginning September 23, 2021 at 5:30pm.   Sessions will be held bi-weekly inside the church in Harlow Hall.  Whether sessions are held outside or inside, social distancing will be observed and special masks provided by JAM will be required.  JAM is assessing a one-time COVID safety fee to off-set the costs of the special safety measures that we are implementing. In addition, parents must acknowledge and agree to adhere to our Covid safety measures and those measures as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  In addition, parents must sign JAM’s release form prior to student attendance.   

Each rehearsal will extend for 90 minutes.  There will be a social distancing and the use of masks.  To limit surface exposure, students must bring their own music stands.
