COVID-19 Guidelines: Masks/buffs required. We will do our best to organize practice stations so that participants are as evenly spread out as possible to maximize social distancing. If the practice session is indoors due to adverse weather, doors will be left open to maximize air circulation. Please bring appropriate layers.

What’s Happening Afterwards? Happy hour - Magnuson Brewery
Volunteers: We are looking for 2 volunteers who feel confident in their rigging skills to help set up practice stations prior to the event. Volunteers will meet at 10:30am to begin setting up skills stations. Please message Jake if you are interested.
