This is what I commented in another blog whose owner is also having choir troubles.

Now our concert is next saturday. But regardless, the soloist from one of my songs didn't show up. And by the time my turn to direct my songs came up, basically all the guys except 1 or 2 had left, and a few of the others had left as well. Usually rehearsal ends at 9 but I forgot that we had the chapel until 10, and the first song was done at 9 so I thought we were done. And then I thought I would just go over the other one first thing next wednesday when everyone would be there (hopefully). But the president of the organization said that I had to do it. So I did and went home after prayer. Today I got an email saying that the directors and exec board had a meeting and they said I should have been there (I did not know about that meeting no one tells me anyting) and then they said that it looked bad for me to say it was 9 I'll go over the song next week. OK so many people were gone, I'm going to have to go over everything again next week for people who weren't there. How are we supposed to go through it smoothly on friday if this keeps happening? If you are going to be in an organization you should be commited to being there and if the absences were excused I should have known about it. So yeah I'm kind of mad now too.

In all honesty, I do see their point, but at the same time it's hard for me to go over things again and again if people aren't showing up. Allison should let us know if people are going to be gone. And random people shouldn't leave in the middle of the rehearsal. And Tamara has a good point in saying that people wouldn't stay if I was ready to go, but regardless, a lot of people had already left. How are we supposed to have an effective rehearsal if not everyone is there, including my soloist? It's almost not worth it.
