It has been observed that there is an imbalance in the number of servers on weekdays.  Overcrowding is common on Fridays and there can be less than 4 servers on other days.  All servers are requested tohelp spread out the numbers if they can serve on other days besides Friday.

Leaders are to ensure that all glass doors of the sacristy are kept closed half an hour before each mass, even after spiritual preparation.  This is to ensure that noise does not come in or out.  However, all are still required to maintain silence in the sacristy ESPECIALLY during changing and after debrief.
