Monthly Singings
To avoid constantly updating calendar dates for our events,
each singing relies on a formula. The most commonly employed,
for example, is to say that a singing meets on the 1st or 2nd,
etc., Sunday of each month. A casual glance at a calendar lets
one immediately know whether that particular singing is
happening on the upcoming Sunday. Similarly with the other date
formulas. This technique is one we learned from traditional
Sacred Harp singings which have been using it since forever
(roughly speaking).
