For Outdoor Events with No Cover:
Even one drop of rain forces us to stop because rain can cause significant damage to expensive instruments, music, and other equipment. The same applies to excessive heat conditions (over 90F, in direct sunlight) or cold weather (under 58F). Outdoor events should have an alternative option in case of inclement weather.
