We perform at two civic functions during the year, and the audience is moving all the time, hence a great deal of turn-over. In December, we have two programs with a "static" audience -- one seats about eighty, and is usually full. The second seats about five hundred, and we have had about half a house. We are considering changing this program to a Sunday afternoon performance from a weekday evening in hopes of increasing attendance.
