Talking to the Wilhelmi girls is an interesting experience. They are both extremely well-spoken and articulate about the subjects that interest them - like art and music - and their conversation is fast-paced, punctuated by lots of giggling and in-jokes.

Coming from a small town in Montana, Juliet and Andrea receive such support from their parents that the entire family re-located to Tucson four years ago, giving them the chance to attend St. Gregory's College Preparatory School. Now, that choice has paid off, as both girls head to Minnesota this month to attend Macalester College - and they are taking their blossoming musical career with them.
