(Cue angry CD mob with pitchforks and torches for such heresy )


*Because they are already a "midweek" event, by U.S. weeks.
Not worth it. Too inconvenient for the students, and it makes the events almost entirely non-conducive to spectators coming and watching. May also make it harder to find college-student volunteers for a mid-week event.
