[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] Students at Wenatchee High School in Washington held a recent band practice while inside green bubbles to protect against coronavirus infection. Class is much different for high school students in 2021 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
According to the Wenatchee World, students at Wenatchee High School in Washington returned to in-person learning on Jan. 26. The school also restarted band rehearsals, and pictures from the lessons that showed individual students practicing inside green tents as a means of protecting against COVID-19 went viral on social media. While most students seemed to fit into the tents without a problem, a photo of the band's tuba player showed him having some trouble squeezing inside.
The photos of the school's unique solution drew plenty of attention on social media platforms like Twitter. One user compared the set-up to the 1984 mockumentary classic This Is Spinal Tap, joking that the film's fictional band was "simply ahead of their time" when they took to the stage in personal "bubbles." The high school is reportedly on a split morning and afternoon schedule from Tuesday through Friday, with Monday dedicated to virtual classes. So far, students and staff seem excited about the return to school, despite the risks.
