| − | Considering schedule availability for training, and approval by a committee that meets once a month, it's safe to say this process can take about 3 months to complete, sometimes less, sometimes more. We can often get people subbing within a few weeks of completing training (unless their specialty is very focused on a single music genre). Getting a show could take as little as a few months, to as long as a few years.
