Recital Scheduling
As you look at possible dates for your recital, please note a few details:
Please do not schedule a recital for a Friday or Saturday evening at 4PM 6PM or 8PM.
Please avoid events already on the above schedule.
Monday thru Thursdays at 8PM are fine.
Fridays or Saturdays are good at NOON or 2PM.
Sundays are good after 4PM.
For CMDI Majors I would encourage you to also connect with Dr. Parsons as he has similar limitations.
I hope you understand that I’m not trying to make this about me. I simply would love to continue doing *all the things* without having to make difficult choices. If I must choose, I will always choose you!
Also, please don’t schedule on the Friday or Saturday preceding or following Spring Break. You will be asked to reschedule.
