Flu Season: Securing Standbys
Friday, March 6th, 2020
Lesson learned: Don’t schedule a vocal or instrumental ensemble during flu season! Always have a standby on hand for vocal or offertory specials.
I have a nine voice mixed ensemble scheduled to sing this Sunday morning. Due to a lot of various sicknesses going around…I’ve secured a standby vocal solo for this Sunday morning. I’ll let him know by Saturday afternoon whether or not he’ll need to sing.
I pray everyone who reads this is doing well!
