Thanks everyone for the replies. Those were unsurprising and pretty much what I expected.
* Give as much notice as possible (days in advance). * Cancel if you’re contagious, or can’t perform well or drive safely. * If you go ahead, expect to be as alert, lively, and cheerful as usual. * The organizers contact and pick the replacement, not the cancelling caller. Organizers may ask you for help, but don’t be proactive by contacting other callers. I’ll add: Take good care of yourself as a performer so you won’t have to cancel. (Nature may interfere with that plan despite best efforts.) \Bob Peterson > On Nov 15, 2018, at 10:12, Donna Hunt via Callers > <[email protected]> wrote: > > When I got laryngitis the morning of a gig out of town, I contacted callers I > knew in the town and asked if they were going to the dance if they would call > a couple of dances.
