Okay- I might catch alot of grief for this one- but maybe some of you  
have run into this... maybe???

I work at a place that does N-O-T (ugh...) have a true/designated  
performance space.
There's about 4 different places any type of recital or concert can  
take place on this campus. (I might at well be on the road again...)  
Anyways..

I had previously reserved tuning time in the "main" performance spot  
from 9 until 12 for a concert *that night*.
I called today to make sure this was still Kosher- and I found out  
that my tuning time may run into their still yet undetermined  
rehearsal times.

OK.

Long story short- I am giving up my tuning time to go there later (at  
3PM day of concert) for at that time they will be in a different  
building altogether. No worries.

I don't even know why I'm writing this for it'll all work out- but  
I'm wondering if any of you have "strong feelings" about sorta, kinda  
being bumped from a reserved tuning time for (possible) rehearsals.
The pianist couldn't give me any concrete rehearsal details for he  
didn't know when the other musicians would be getting into town-  
hence the lack of scheduling info.

I certainly know I wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for the musicians  
and their performances but...

:(

I don't know....

Maybe it's because I wasn't even asked and everyone just assumed I  
could NOT tune at that time.

I adore each and every person involved in the planning and playing,  
but "what's the rules"???

(You'd think that 11 years in this business I'd know by now...)
