- Two members, sisters, were late as their car would not start, and their alternate ride was the member with the geometry problem.
- Another member and her daughter were late as she had to attend to matters at her mother's house before arriving.
- Yet another member was working on an important letter.
- One member waited until the last possible minute before leaving, due to the cold weather.
- Another member, taking care of his two sons, was delayed and did not realize until the last minute he was late.
- The pianist had planned to arrive 30 minutes early, but fell asleep after dinner, which caused her and her mother (the choir director) to be late.
- Finally, two other members, high-school students, were late as one wanted to catch the end of a radio program, and the other waited for her as they customarily went together to practice.
