Blank music team rota for February to April 2021

This is a printable music-team roster for  the period February to April 2021. It has:

• One row for each Sunday in this period, labelled with the corresponding feast from the Irish liturgical calendar, and notes about other observances that day or in the coming week.

• Extra rows for any non-Sunday feast days when churches in Ireland are likely to have music.  
  
   Review it against your country's liturgical calendar, and add your own feast days.

• Two columns with the dates and names of the feast or liturgical calendar day.

• Three columns for your use.  These are labelled Co-ordinator, Musician(s), Audio-visual.  Change them to suit you team (eg you may need Choir Cantor, Animator, Organist, Worship Leader, etc)

Things to note in this time period

Lent starts in the middle of February this year, meaning that the Easter Triduum starts on 1 April.   These three months are generally the most demanding time of the year for church musicians - although for some the continued restrictions due to the Covid-19 measures may mean less music is required.

Why this three month period

Planning in these three-month periods fits both the liturgical and secular seasons:

• Feb - Mar - April (includes Lent and Easter)
• May - Jun - Jul (spring / summer in Europe, winter in the southern hemisphere)
• Aug - Sept - Oct (Back-to-school = start of a new year in Europe)
• Nov - Dec - Jan (New Year and summer-holidays in the south, people get together in late January to plan for the rest of the year).

If this combination doesn't suit your church, then it may be better to use the blank music roster template.

The next version, for May - July will be available in mid  April.  Please leave a message in the Comments section near the bottom of the page if you have requests about what it should include.
