i sent an email to this years director asking when we would be able to sign up. Here is his reply.

We should have the information on-line by mid-January. The dates of the conference are Wednesday July 9 through Sunday July 13. The conference will begin on Wednesday at 10am with a concert of Utah clarinetists and at then noon the 1st feature concert, Philippe Cuper (Principal in Paris Opera) will be held. Wednesday evening will be a concert with big band (Eddie Daniels, Gary Foster, etc.). Sunday morning the conference will conclude with a performance for clarinets with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the Mormon Tabernacle followed by the clarinet choir concerts. And there is a lot in between.

sounds good to me.

Hi, (Philo) Bob

I'm presuming the Fest is in Utah then, or are the Utah clarinetists and MTChoir going to be wherever it is? July is pretty far ahead right now for most of us to plan. Will you be posting more info as it becomes available? I've heard really great things about them in past posts. You attended the last one, New Orleans, correct?

Do you think Utah is maybe more accessible for more folks than on one coast or the other? Just wondering, I don't know who or how they plan these events or, if 'they' move it around, why. Do you have any insight to that?

But, yeah, it sounds good to me too.

Thanks for posting it.

Salt Lake City is pretty far from most populated areas in the US. I can get on I-15 just a few miles from my house and drive there directly but it is still something like a 480 mile drive. I hope that won't stop people from coming. The airport is fine and access by road, especially from the west, is good.

I think that they try to move them around but they need someone willing to host the convention. In the last few years it has been held as far west as Arizona and as far east as Ohio, so it hasn't exactly hit the big population areas on either coast.

SO, perhaps it should be in NYC in 2004....with a performance at Carnegie Hall....now that would be well worth the $$$$'s. Do cities vie for the right to hold the Fest like the Olympics or is voted on by members?
