  • Is this open to teens? I have three teens: two choristers, one organist (ages 12-16) and I, the choir director, who would like to attend.

    Any WI or IL folks want to carpool? Not sure if I will be going, but if so, I'd be willing to drive or chip in on gas if you wanna take the wheel.

    Completely off-topic, but this restaurant in St. Louis is so fantastic that if you folks don't go, you'll miss perhaps the best meal of your lives.

    I will think about going, but I'm not sure. Last time I skipped it since I was going to Utah anyway. I'm going to the Colloquium again this year, but I MAY check out the one in St. Louis, too. Illinois here, by the way, so carpooling is an option I would consider.
  • teachermom24,

    That's a new question for us. I'll discuss it with our committee and see what their thoughts are.

  • Hoping to be able to come. Have friends in St. Louis so will probably stay with them.
  • Any word on the age limit. I know of two possible attendees, aged 15-18.
