[HANASHIR:11384] volunteer choir rehearsal attendance

[H & R Shubert <notfranz...>]

I'm interested in the volunteer choir thread of discussion, which seems to 
reinforce that temple choirs have a great deal in common with each other.  I 
started out being pretty stern about attendance, but now that I have gotten to 
know these lovely people, I tend to be understanding when they have to miss a 
rehearsal.  In the spring I notice a tendency for people to miss rehearsals.  I 
put it down to fatigue from the year's work (we start our season with the 
HHD's), but still, it's discouraging.  I'd like to hear from other choir 
directors as to how they deal with this and also with members arriving late.

Thanks,
Rachelle
