The pandemic has forced schools across the U.S. to adapt and employ new methods to ensure students are educated in a safe environment.

According to the Seattle Times, kids at Wenatchee High School in Wenatchee, Washington have been back on campus since Jan. 26 on a hybrid schedule. And a photo from band practice—which shows students playing in small COVID-19 bubbles in the auditorium—has gone viral.

The internet, of course, had a field day with the mini lime-green enclosures, which only seemingly house a kid and their instrument in very small quarters. Wenatchee High is currently on an AM/PM schedule where Monday is only virtual schooling, and students come in either during the morning or afternoon for the remainder of the week.
