We have a more or less regular Faculty type recital every Sunday at 3 PM. It's rare that anyone rehearses prior to that, so I just come in early, get it over with and go. I'm having a little trouble getting the fortepiano stabilized, so I'd be very wary of it staying in tune from Friday until Sunday. Besides, because of special circumstances, they're not able to have their actual "full dress rehearsal" until Sunday. <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Our faculty here is VERY respectful towards my time.  Weekend work is rare and limited to very special major events.  I owe that to my predecessor who put his foot down.</blockquote> I kind of have a feeling that you're one of the lucky few. :-) But because of that type of thing and knowing that I'm not paid enough, I'm given a lot of leeway in how I schedule the remainder of my time, re: off-campus private work. I don't take advantage of that, but it's still very nice to have it. Plus, the comp. time also comes in very handy sometimes!
