When the Oregon School Activities Association pushed back its high school athletic calendar earlier this week, it also pushed back competitions for activities like choir, band, cheerleading, and dance and drill to the end of the school year to provide programs the opportunity to rehearse in person if school district policies allow. OSAA Executive Director Peter Weber says they are trying to give the best opportunity possible to allow those activities, the vast majority of which are held indoors, to take place. Weber pointed out speech and debate programs have been able to move forward during the pandemic in a virtual format, and there have been discussions about doing that in cheer, dance, and solo music.
