IMHO, this attitude is the reason so many groups have attendance problems.
If you *expect* (I mean really expect, not just *hope* for) good attendance
you're likely to get it.  Even without contracts and similar gimmicks.  And
in a "mote in your own eye' vein, how many directors who moan about
attendance never miss or reschedule a rehearsal?
