Ron Davies, I don't want to be a wet blanket, but don't you think that it is obvious that WETA made a conscious decision? I am sure they considered leaving Saturday night alone - but it wasn't an option for their plans.

Your suggestion is not unique and you won't be the first one to make such a suggestion. Unfortunately, the fact that you canvased a large classical group is not going to make much of a difference.   As dumb of a decision that this is, the management of WETA is not stupid and surely considered their options. Their gameplan was set and you will not be the first one to make a suggestion to them.

You need to take this fight to the next level, and the empty suits in management are not going to budge unless they are told to budge by a higher authority (read - board of trustees, underwriters).
