They deserve every minute of being on that lineup. It does my heart good to see the Diplomats on mainstage, and with a prime spot too!! They deserve every minute of being on that lineup.

They have a number one song, been together I think at least 2 years, and have a cover on Singing News...what is up? I really don't care, but it just doesn't make sense. Kind of reminds me of our Senate...control matters I guess...maybe they aren't getting pitched by the right people? If I was them, I would be talking to my booking agent/record company or whoever is responsible for the lack of representation...Who does book them? Shame of them whoever it is....On a positive note, I was glad to see that the Roarks were added....me and my wife love Jetta! Seriously, why aren’t groups like Mike and Kelly Bowling on main stage?

That's the "why." If popularity was the only factor, groups like EH&SS and GVB would be on main stage every night. If quality was the only factor, I can think of several groups that wouldn't be on main stage at all. There's legacy that factors into the equation. There are business deals that factor into the equation. I don't know what the arrangement is between the Pfeifers and NQC, but I agree with the consensus among critics that they're over-scheduled every year. #7 - There are factors other than quality and popularity that go into NQC’s decisions.

Something is wrong with that picture. But other than that I am looking forward to NQC.

I'm hoping since it is NQC and it's being called a "reunion" that they'll go a bit larger-scale and have as many Cathedrals alumni as possible there. I heard from someone that they might be taping a video of it as well. #3: Same difference as the “Cathedrals Remembered” concerts, I guess.

Why bother when the 2 people who made it so magical can't be there. I guess it could act as a tribute concert to Glen and George but not really a reunion.

Haha. In all seriousness, if I do actually go to that, it'd be for The Inspirations. I expect a report on the McKameys/Inspirations showcase! Haha.
