We made some adjustments to this year’s Blues Bash: 

•We will be selling pre-packaged snacks inside the studio and will no longer be selling meals. Fat Bob’s food truck will be on site at 6 pm outside the front entrance where they will stay through intermission. We encourage all attendees to patronize their food truck. View the menu.  

•If you purchased a table of 6, you will still be able to sit with your entire group. All other tables have been changed to seat 4 per table, and the tables have been spaced a minimum of six feet apart. 

•If you purchased 1 or 2 tickets, you will be seated at a table of 4 with other ticket holders. Social distancing is not possible in the theater seating section. 

•We understand that there are a lot of variables to consider when making the decision to attend a live event. Because of this, we are offering a virtual format to enjoy the concert. Please e-mail our Special Events team at specialevents@wned.org if you wish to change to a virtual ticket to live stream the concert instead of attending in person.  

For the health and safety of everyone, we have implemented some changes: 

• Everyone will need to fill out a health screen survey and receive a temperature check prior to entering the building.
• We are asking all guests and staff to wear a mask inside our facility when not eating, drinking, or performing.
• All attendees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series (Pfizer, Moderna), or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson). If you are not yet vaccinated, you are welcome to attend in-person events in the building two weeks after completing your vaccination regimen.
• No exceptions will be made to the vaccine requirement, and a negative COVID test will no longer be accepted for entry.
• Attendees will need to present photo ID and proof of vaccination in the form of your physical CDC Vaccination Record card or your digital vaccination record before entering the building. New York residents can easily register for your digital vaccination record for access on your mobile device. Photographs of vaccination cards will not be accepted.
• We’ve installed an environmentally friendly clean air filtration system throughout our building to attack microbes both in the air and on surfaces. This system uses an innovative Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP™) to fight viruses, bacteria, mold, odors, and insects.
• There will be enhanced disinfecting of high-touch surfaces. Countertops, railings, restrooms, and seating areas will be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly.

We will continue to closely review public health guidelines and update our safety protocol as necessary. Staying informed is our best prospect for remaining safe as we move forward with navigating through the pandemic. Buffalo Toronto Public Media is dedicated to staying up to date with current guidelines to ensure a safe experience for all.
