For the calendar’s start-time field, you may want to use 4:30 rather than 5:00 so the doors time is what shows in list view and reminders — otherwise someone who only sees the collapsed entry arrives at 5:00 and misses the seating window. Depends on whether your platform surfaces the description text alongside the time.
