The SandyCyfers Band has been scheduled to play at the Freedom Festival on the evening of June 30, 2011 at 6pm - 7:30pm, as stated here in the Logan Banner website. As of the last day or so, I have learned that the schedule is being changed. This is detrimental to viewers coming from other areas that have long drives. Sandy has sponsorers, business and professional significant others that will not be able to adjust at such a late notice, not to mention, the late night may even cancel their attendance. This is a big deal for her, her band and other planned attendees.
