Concerts

Browse this season's concerts and manage signups when your membership allows it.

Find concert cycles that still need an answer

  1. Scan the list for a Needs response badge on a concert cycle, or a quiet status pill such as Signed up, Not playing, Not sure, or No response.
  2. Open that concert row to review the signup form.

Each row shows exactly one status badge. Needs response appears when signups are open and you have not answered or saved Not sure. Concerts with dues still owed or payment recovery show Payment needs attention instead of a quiet response pill when you already gave a decisive answer. Closed signups always show your stored response quietly, including No response when you never answered.

Unanswered cycles show a Needs response badge until you choose a response.

Respond to a concert cycle

If personnel has published member guidance, it appears in a quiet information box above the response choices. The guidance remains the same for every member. It disappears after you choose Not playing because no roster follow-up is needed for that response.

Common questions

How do I tell the orchestra I want to play in concert cycles this season?

Open Concerts, choose a concert, and select Sign up. Your response saves automatically. See Respond to a concert cycle.

Did my concert signup save?

The response controls show Saved without leaving the concert. Use All Concerts to return to the full list. When you open the concert again, choose Change signup to update it.

Why can I view a concert signup but not change it?

Your personnel manager may have closed member signups for that cycle, or the concert date may have passed. Your saved response and note remain visible. An admin can still correct a response.

Conductors and Inactive members have a reference view without signup or payment controls. Substitutes also use that view for concerts where they are not rostered.

What's the difference between Concerts signups and Absences?

The Sign up step in Concerts captures whether you want to participate this season — signing up adds you to the roster when you are eligible. Absences is for a specific rehearsal or concert you already know you will miss or arrive late to. See Absences.

What does Not sure mean on the signup form?

Not sure tells your personnel manager you are uncertain. Use it when you might want to participate but are not ready to choose Sign up or Not playing.

Does signing up change my dues?

Signing up for a concert means you owe dues for that concert. See Dues.

Does signing up put me on the roster?

For Active members, yes: Sign up adds you when you are eligible and not already listed. Personnel may adjust the roster later, and Not playing does not remove an existing placement. Substitutes must already be rostered before they can answer; their answer never changes roster placement.
