The 6th and 7th meetings were dress rehearsals which occurred during the two Friday's before the actual murder mystery event. Aside from cutting into our personal after-work lives, these practice sessions were really useful for making the event go smooth and perfecting the action of the evening.
A suggestion to avoid taking up the time of your volunteers is to just figure exactly who is going to enjoy hamming it up and who really wants to be a decision maker with the plot. I'm sure a bunch of people have a vague interest in helping, but they don't all need to come. At the event there were about 50 staff people, which was on the very heavy side just to make sure the 110guests felt comfortable and everything went smoothly. Probably 20-30 of those people were in one of the 10 "clubs" that were meeting after-hours. Even the 10 group leaders didn't need to come to both dress rehearsals, but it doesn't hurt.
