The Official Association of Music Educators in San Bernardino County

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY

MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION

Dear SBCMEA Members, 

We regret that SBCMEA was not able to hold the 2021 County Honor Music Programs.  This was in response to the Governor’s and CA Department of Health’s directive of not convening more than 250 people in a venue.  This is an unfortunate situation and a disappointment to us all as we know your students always work hard to prepare for their performances. 

To protect public health and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, gatherings as described below should be postponed or canceled across the state of California for at least the remainder of the month of March.  

The California Department of Public Health finds the following:  

• Large gatherings that include 250 people or more should be postponed or canceled.  

• This includes gatherings such as concerts, conferences, and professional, college, and school sporting events.  

• Smaller gatherings held in venues that do not allow social distancing of six feet per person should be postponed or canceled.  

• This includes gatherings in crowded auditoriums, rooms or other venues.  

• A “gathering” is any event or convening that brings together people in a single room or single space at the same time, such as an auditorium, stadium, arena, large conference room, meeting hall, cafeteria, or any other indoor or outdoor space.  

If San Bernardino County continues in the current direction we plan to hold this event in 2022 We will keep you informed in the near future.    

We thank you for your understanding and know that we wish to keep all of our students, teacher and families safe during this time.   

Sincerely, 

SBCMEA Executive Board
