Marching and Athletic Bands Mandatory Vaccine Protocol

After consultation with university officials and public health experts, the Marching and  Athletic Bands will make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for all students, faculty, staff, and volunteers associated with these ensembles. Vaccines are mandatory for all students living in university housing due to their day-to-day interactions in a communal living setting and Michigan Athletics has also mandated vaccines due to the risk associated with day-to-day physical interactions.  

Please note that you must be fully vaccinated by your first rehearsal or meeting date:

  • Staff and Volunteers - August 9, 2022

  • Student Leaders - August 11, 2022

  • Students participating in the workday - August 15, 2022

  • Incoming students, Flags, Drumline, Twirlers - August 16, 2022

  • Returning students - August 18, 2022

As you schedule your vaccination, please be sure you include the required two weeks  past your final shot to be considered “fully vaccinated.”
