Am I acting irrational?

Please bear with me as I'm not sure how long this post is going to be, also this post is not referencing a break up just a rough situation so I'm not sure if it is in the right forum.

I love my boyfriend very much, we are in a serious relationship and intend to move in together, in fact our lease for our first apartment together is signed and we move in in 3 weeks. This issue could not come at a worse time, but I'm looking for some advice on how to deal and to find out if I am acting irrational or not.

For some context info, my boyfriend and myself both work full time during the day, he gets out of work at a reasonable hour at 3:30, whereas I get out a bit later at 7:00. That does not leave much time for us to be together once I get out of work on weekdays. My bf also works the occasional night on a weekday for a side job, same with the occasional day on a weekend. I however do not work weekends, but there is one problem that eats up all of our time. He is in a band. He is very passionate about his music and really enjoys playing in his band, which I respect and love that he has something he is so passionate about but it is really starting to impose on our relationship. The band practices 1 weekday a week, generally has a show on a Friday or Saturday, sometimes both and when they have a lot of shows coming up or are learning new songs, they throw in an additional Sunday practice. Weekends work best for dates/hanging out as far as both of our work schedule goes, but the ban d totally destroys that opportunity. Numerous times we have had dates planned, that were that canceled due to last minute practices or show offers. I understand that he feels obligated to go to this things for the sake of his band members, but at the same time I feel that he should feel obligated to fulfill some of our planned dates as well, as our time together as it is is very limited. I'm sick of feeling like such a low priority in his life due to how he jumps through humps to schedule his whole life around the band, but doesn't nearly put that much effort into scheduling time for us to be together. I realize that time is limited, but I don't think that asking him to cut down on some of the practices or show offers is irrational even if it is at the expense of letting his band members down. How does everybody else feel, am I overrating?
