Calendar
Inclement Weather Policy: It will be the practice of the Ypsilanti Community Band to provide a safe and secure rehearsal and performance locale for its performing members and audience. On occasion, due to inclement weather or other situations, it may become necessary to alter or change the rehearsal or performance location and or even cancel the event completely. If such an event were to occur, it will be the practice to provide as much notification as possible. The following steps will be taken to notify its members and audience:
1. No later than two hours before the scheduled event, the
director, will make the decision based on the best information
available at the time.
2. If a rehearsal or event are to be cancelled or altered the director
will make notification to local radio stations including WAAM radio,
WJR radio and WWJ radio informing them of the change and request that a
public service announcement be made.
3. The director will contact section leaders and appropriate board
members of the decision. Section leaders will then contact members of
their assigned sections and notify them of the information.
4. A temporary bulletin will be placed on the website (Ypsicommband.org) by the director with the appropriate information and updates.
5. A mass email notification will be sent to all members who request email updates by the director.
6. Members of the band, and our audience, are encouraged to monitor the
listed radio stations and check the band website for updated
information.
Because members of the band come from such a diverse georgraphical
area, individual members are asked to evaluate their ability to safely
travel on their individual basis. If he/she makes the decision that
they will not be able to attend the scheduled rehearsal or event they
are asked to notify their section leader. If the section leader
believes that the amount of calls merits notification of the director
than the section leader will do so. The director will use this
information in his/her decision to continue the event or cancel it.
Safety of all is the primary concern in making such decisions.
