 :-*Well when Boris got into his car outside No 10 yesterday,he was wearing a mask but the other person getting into the car with him wasn’t,—-
I know the air is forced out of the instrument but a few feet distance in the fresh air.?
Other players seem able to perform indoors,many announcements of this group and that ensemble playing - presumably socially distanced -are made on Classic FM.
Pretend it is a University trombone! It can pretty well do what it wants then by all accounts .
I hope it all goes well,and yes how cheery at this time and perhaps some of the real meaning of  Christmas will be brought back into it,less commercialism.
Best wishes for  that  and good weather.
Viktoria.

Perhaps if the trombonist plays behind the others, and facing in the opposite direction?..... Might be difficult to keep the performance together, oh dear, back to the drawing board....

Silly Heath Robinson ideas come into my mind !
Not quite the same but pre record the hymns ,and play them back at the service ?Loudspeaker system?
Hope something is worked out .

I have ordered calendars with his designs as both sons are very handy , and can repair,fix most things .
A tennis ball from a neighbour’s little boy got  stuck in the hopper head of the downspout, just before we were leaving for a holiday, so I fixed up a drip rope
. as the splashes were wetting they kitchen door and getting in .
The boy’s Dad said he’d fix it ASAP -  was a good all rounder  handyman.
His wife had our keys so all in order when we came back.
But our sniffy next door neighbour wanted to know why I had left that “Heath Robinson  contraption, it was so untidy !”
I told him!

Just thought H.R, would devise an instrument that would go round corners,
so the expelled air would disperse.
Could it be collected and  purified, ?
What if it was blown through a gauze soaked in disinfectant?
I am not sure there is even a problem.—?
