FAQs
If I can only attend one day, what is the cost?
We have made this conference to be very affordable for the the vast array of excellent instruction that will be received. The cost is the same for the full conference registration whether or not you take advantage of one or two days of training. The only other options are the choir and orchestra retreats that do not have access to the vast array of break out sessions offered either day.

Who can attend the Choral Reading Sessions on Friday Afternoon?
The reading sessions may be attended by anyone with a full registration or those who are part of the two retreats. While several people from one church may attend, packets of free music from the publishers will be provided to no more than two people per church unless there are additional packets left over. You should reserve your place at the time of registration. You may also contact us if you did not do so to let us know you would like to attend.

On Friday afternoon, you can choose to go to the choral music reading sessions with five publishers. Friday evening is a great time with Mike Harland.
