[Data-modeling] Music Festival, Festival Tours, and Recurring Festivals

[Robert Cook]

Also -- a reminder:  If you are changing the display names of types  
and properties, make sure you update the keys (changing the display  
name does not automatically update the key).  In Micah's case, it  
doesn't matter because he is working on Sandbox, but if you are doing  
the same work on production and you expect you or others to write code  
against your schema, it's best to have keys that match the display  
names as closely as possible.
