Choirs are invited to perform based on a recording reviewed by a panel of judges. The judges select 12 to 15 choirs to perform, and the UW-River Falls Concert Choir was one of four college choirs selected to perform. There are no awards given at the conference because the invitation to perform is a prestigious honor. At the conference, Park also gave a lecture, "Incorporating Tai Chi Breathing into Choral Singing" based on his research that will appear in an upcoming publication of Choral Journal (February 2009).
