He will send another note. Right now we have Acapellago, Silver Tones from WPD, and Sounds Good. Dave has tried multiple times to contact Wheaton College and has yet to receive a response. Dave also reported that the GE/Wheaton Chorale requires a booking request and payment, so it was decided that we would not pursue them at this time. Randy asked if we have any type of agreement for the groups to sign as to what time they should arrive, how long they will play, etc. Mike will ask the City. Mike expressed concern about in what order groups should perform, how much time in between, etc. We all agreed we should consider limiting IDM to fewer groups. Randy offered to meet WPD early for sound set-up/check. Mike will check with WPD and confirm set-up. Mike says we will have Beyond Glee (another WPD group) as a back-up. Mike will ask riser rental company if they rent keyboards. Randy will reach out to CUSD200 music friend to see if high school choirs would even be a possibility. Mike will ask WPD to publicize now that their group is in. Sarah did City and will do flyer for businesses and Wheaton Chamber and DuPage Arts League. Laurie will do Daily Herald. VII.
