The phone calling chain is for situations where email and postal mail are not fast enough to inform the members of a situation that needs to be addressed immediately. An example is a last minute cancellation of a concert because of sudden bad weather in the Winter. Special Note: In the summer we are paid for showing up at outdoor concerts even if it rains. So we do not cancel outdoor concerts until we are there in order to get paid.

Members should not start the phone calling chain themselves. Instead, contact the President, Vice President, or Director. The Director of a concert, the President, or the Vice President start the emergency phone calling chain. This gives us a chance to decide upon a course of action in addition to just stating the problem and then have one phone call give both the problem and the solution. Some members phone numbers may be unlisted. So please do not give a member's phone number to those outside the band without checking first with that member.
