Blank music team rota for February to April 2023

This is a printable music-team roster for February to April 2023. 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 days when churches in Ireland are likely to have music.  
    • 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)

    (*)  Why Irish?   Because the person who prepared this is based in Ireland.  But St Patrick's Day is the only major difference between this and the American or English calendars.

    However please review this against your country's liturgical calendar, and add your own feast days.


    Things to note in this time period

    These three months are the most demanding time of the year for church musicians:   Lent starts in late February, so the Easter Triduum is in the first week of April.

    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.
