I really like having it when it is for several reasons mentioned above – weather, not conflicting with summer plans, etc., but I totally agree with the high school/college-aged population who want it during the summer! A number of years ago, my sister and her friend set a date that they would attend NQC in 2009. Now they’re both going to be in college and unable to go if it is held in September.

I’ve never been able to go to NQC ’cause it falls pretty much at the beginning of the school year. Students and teachers (I have been both)not within the immediate vicinity of Louisville have very few chances to make it without taking off school. Personally, I would really enjoy a switch to the summer.

I’ve never been.

I do think it would beeasier for kids who would want to go to go in the Summer.

I’d have no problem with it; this year was my first to go, I missed two days of school, and even two days’ worth of work was a pain to make up. So I’d like it if they changed it, but I like it where it is now too.

I don’t see how a move to summer will really help, now that so many schools are a year-round schedule. NQC is going to conflict with something no matter when it is and the board will never please everyone, so leave it alone!

if there is a change for nqc, i doubt it would be this coming year because i know most of the “big” groups book a year in advance (and even some of the lesser known groups )…so having said that i wouldn’t look for a change for the 2008 nqc, however i could be way wrong

I hope they do at least consider moving to a summer month…I can’t go with my family in Sept. and probably wouldn’t go without them.

Well I hope that they do change it to Summer. This last year was the first year I could go because my schooling always was in the way. And the only reason I was able to make it this year was because my new college is on a different time schedule.

I voted like you did, Daniel. Keep it the same.
