some good ideas mentioned in your responses, thank you

<<but if they are normally a soloist or section leader they'll move out of position and play second parts until the next concert cycle>>

especially like the good-natured flexibility of that

<<just to hold us to some accountability - sign ourselves out on a master calendar ahead of time>>

especially like the squeeze of that too

<<Having been in two bands, I've noticed a huge correlation between the professionalism of the musicians and that of the director and organisers. If the musicians feel that the management is not enthusiastic, then they will feel no obligation to show up>>

i'm not so sure about that, cuts both ways, if the players can't be there enthusiastically, isn't that a downer for the director?

if the players can't give the director lots of 'professional touch' musical moments to feel good about, how can he continue to feel enthusiastic about waving his arms for us?
