attendances
- 1Plural of attendance.
Attendances at the museum climbed sharply after the new exhibit opened.

Note
The plural earns its keep when attendance is something you can count: the number of people at separate events, or a record of how often someone turned up. Think of attendances at matches or a pupil's attendances this term. When the meaning is simply being present, as in attendance is required, the word stays singular and uncountable. The obsolete sense of careful regard belongs to older writing.
