PARENT INFORMATION

 PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come to the concert.

 Concert-12noon-International Center North

 Your best bet for parking is the parking garage which located on the Northeast part of the property. When you get to the round-about turn right and the parking garage is immediately past the train locomotive display. The cost for the garage is $10. There are streets around the Broadmoor that you can park on for free but this is a HUGE conference and street parking fills up very quickly (as does the garage). GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND PARKING.

 The International Center is on the corner of Lake Ave. (which was Circle when you got off the highway) and Lake Circle (right at the round-about and very close to the garage).

 Once you arrive in the International Center look for Mr. Singmaster and Mr. Silloway. THEY WILL HAVE TICKETS FOR YOU. Security at the Broadmoor is very tight. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE CONCERT WITHOUT A TICKET. Keep this ticket with you at all times so that you can get back into the concert hall if you leave to go to the bathroom or something. Mr. Singmaster and Mr. Silloway will be available until 11:55am. They will then go to their seats for the concert.

 PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND PARKING AND GET YOUR TICKET FOR THE CONCERT! Friday is the busiest day of the convention and we have the best performance time slot.

 Photos will be taken at CMEA which you can purchase, however, the photo on the cover of the program will also be available for purchase through Apre Photography and the kids really like this one. Once Apre sends us the link, we will forward the info on to you.

 YOU MAY NOT TAKE VIDEOS OR MAKE RECORDINGS AT CMEA. Box 5 Media will have recordings and videos available for purchase on site
