h3. Schedule

Here’s the schedule for the Spring. Note that if you’re hesitating about committing to performing until you know what repertoire we’re doing, I can’t decide on the repertoire until I know who’s playing. Specifically, I’d like to do a lot of 5-part Dowland using the big recorders for the Recorder Society, but I can’t do that unless we get at least 4 and preferably 5 recorder players.

* February 13, 20, and 27: regular dropin rehearsals.
* February 27: I need to know whether you’re playing the Play the Recorder day, and whether you’re considering playing the Walk for Hunger.
* March 6 and 13: rehearsal for those playing either gig.
* March 20: rehearsal compulsory for and limited to those playing the Play the recorder day gig on March 24.
* March 20: I need a commitment for who’s playing the Walk for Hunger.
* Saturday, March 24, Play the Recorder Day performance at the Allston Public Library.
* March 27, all rehearsals in April: limited to those playing the Walk for Hunger.
* Sunday, May 6, Walk for Hunger
* May 8: dropin rehearsals resume.

Please sign up for either gig only if you think you will be able to make most of the March and April rehearsals, and to treat the group like a serious performing group and not like a dropin group.
