A concert belongs in the calendar, but a leadership post gives you room to explain what matters and ask members to respond. Attach the event to the post so nobody has to search for it.
Prepare the Event
Create the concert before writing the announcement. When you set it up:
- Choose the members who should see the event.
- Keep Track attendance and absence enabled.
- Set Default attendance status to Unanswered if you want each member to make an explicit choice. This does not force a response, but nobody is counted as attending until they answer.
- Use Alert all group members about this new event if members should also receive the calendar alert immediately.
See Creating Events for the complete event setup flow.
Info
Attaching an event as pinned content requires a Premium group subscription or trial.
