<p>capandgown - the conservatory was not supportive originally for a variety of reasons. However, they have softened over the years and things have improved every year. This year they were approved for club status which gives them a souce for some funding which will help them quite a bit. They have also been using grad student conducting majors which has helped the group as well. Son is very much hoping that the group will continue after he and the co-founder graduate this spring. They are looking for an underclassman or 2 to take over the organization. Being an official club should help it to continue.</p>
