NIME Conference (Mexico City, May 31-June 2) *
Are you thinking you might attend the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference in Mexico City this year? It happens to conflict with our Week 9 Wednesday rehearsal, but since NIME and SLOrk are such good friends we will make special provisions to accommodate every member who attends the conference or that week's regular Wednesday practice.
Wednesday night classes/rehearsals *
Can you commit to attending class (aka our rehearsals) 7:30 to 10:30pm every single Wednesday night (except if you go to NIME, per previous question) from April 5th through June 7th? 
Rehearsal setup and teardown *
We expect each member to come early to set up and/or stay late to clean up for each Wednesday rehearsal.  Expect about 20 minutes of extra time in the first half of the quarter and then more like 30 minutes thereafter.  
May 4th performance *
Can you commit to performing on the evening of May 4th, including a dress rehearsal earlier in the day?

June 9th Bing rehearsals *
