FUTURE Show Dates (STUDENT POLL)
Do you have any conflicts if the shows are = Apr 18, 19 & 20th ?
I will choose the best dates but so far the plan has ALWAYS BEEN, 3rd weekend of the month. Then we record the following week (really knock out the songs in those sessions) and start on the new semester after that.
