The Choir
Sixty voices, three hundred seats, and one truth the spreadsheet keeps hiding, which is that the alto section outsells the internet.
Exhibit A
You have a Mrs. Voss
Every chorale does. She is the retired teacher who brings six friends to Messiah. Here is what Fay keeps on her, assembled from nothing but the box-office CSVs you already have.
No data entry produced this. Three ticket imports and one question answered did.
How her page got built
Monday, the box-office export goes in
Eventbrite, TicketTailor, the folding-table cash box. If it exports a CSV, Fay reads it by name. Repeat buyers are matched to the people you already know; strangers become new pages; nobody becomes a duplicate.
The patient part
“E. Voss” and “Eleanor Voss” meet at last
Eleven winters of tickets arrive under four spellings. Fay lines the candidates up side by side and asks. One click, and the history flows into a single page, including the six friends, linked as the household they already are.
The part the board sees
June, and proving it worked in one page
“How did this year compare” stops being an afternoon of tab-switching. Donors kept, houses filled, and how many concert-goers became donors, the number a development chair actually asks for, ready before the meeting.
