Liz, that makes perfect sense in retrospect. However, many venues do not
require testing for folks who remain masked and have had a "test in to
unmask" approach for performers while on stage (where they were masked
elsewhere and, until receiving a negative result, on stage as well).

Greenfield's own central policy states:

"Band members may unmask when on-stage for some series, but only if they
have a negative rapid test on the day of the dance. Event publicity will
clearly state whether performers may be unmasked at that specific event."

Note there's no specific timeline stated there for when the testing shall
happen other than it be on the day of.

That's the point I'm raising from our recent experience.
