11-13 July, 2008 at Indiana Wesley University, Marion, Indiana
It’s bigger, and better than last year! You asked for it, and you got it! More classes, more variety, and more fun. Yet, despite the recent rise in fuel costs and economic worries, we are able to bring all of this to you at the same rates as 2007! You are absolutely correct! We are again offering our “Just for you special”, at those “Register 4 and only pay for 3” rates! But that’s not all! We didn’t mention our new and exciting giveaway! Maybe we should look at all of this in more detail……. More classes – In 2007 we only had 6 classes. In 2008 you have14 to chose from! We know you are really impressed with our growth, but please keep reading………… More variety – We’ve added 5 new classes just to help you improve your vocal techniques. But wait, there’s even more! Have you always wanted to learn how to use that great music program Finale? Well this year we have a class that can do just that for you. Then again, maybe you always wanted to try your hand at arranging? If so, we suggest you attend Jon Nicholas’s class on Beginning Arranging. Do you know a barbershopper today who doesn’t like to sing tags? You do? Then you must bring him to the Tag Singing class being taught by the Cardinal District’s own “tag masters”, Aaron Hughes and Garry Texiara. There are many more classes to select, and we strongly suggest that you take a look at the Class Descriptions link below to find the ones that are right for you! More fun – You will begin your CCC experience with a great Friday night show featuring the Harmony Explosion Chorus, The Edge, and wait, there is even more! You will also be entertained by a “Mystery Quartet”. That’s right, a Mystery Quartet!!! But we can’t let the secret out. You have to be there in order to find who they are! Then immediately after the show, we will gather in the Student Center to continue registration for the late arrivals, and we’ll even mix in some socializing and tag singing. After that, you will finish out the evening by treating yourself to a quiet night of restful sleep in those luxurious accommodations that we have reserved just for you in Reed Hall! On Saturday, it only gets better! 3 great meals in IWU’s “4 star restaurant”, excellent classes, quartet coaching, chorus coaching, and…. well, there’s just too much to list here! Why not take a look at the Class Schedule link below and read all about it? Then wrap up the day by attending a “Meet the Champs” show featuring all of the quartets who received coaching, the Fort Wayne chorus, and the “Mystery Quartet”. Oh, did we forget to mention that there will be a pizza party going on during the show? Followed by a second, that’s right, a second night of restful sleep in those luxurious accommodations we provide for you in Reed Hall! I’m telling you, this Cardinal Chord College is the best thing that’s come along since canned beer, crunchy peanut butter, or even Oxy-Clean! Sunday, you will enjoy a gourmet breakfast, followed by a two hour class, a general session, and you should be on your way home no later than 11:30 AM. Register 4 and pay for 3 – This seemed to cause some confusion last year so let’s see if we can explain….. Normally, if 4 people (some might call that a quartet) registered at the individual rate of $175, it would cost them a total of $700 to avail themselves of this wonderful opportunity. But, because you are special to us, we can offer the following: If a quartet, or 4 men from the same chorus register together (they don’t have to be in a quartet), they only have to pay a total of $525 (or $131.25 each). That’s a total savings of $175! In addition to our individual registration rate of $175 that includes all that CCC has to offer, we are also pleased to offer a commuter rate of $127. This includes shows, classes, and meals, but no lodging. Don’t wait to take advantage of these outstanding pricing opportunities! We are only offering these rates to the first 1000 men who register! The giveaway – We’re sure you have heard those old adages of “Beware of strangers bearing gifts”, or “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. But in this case, we have to add one more….. “Trust me”! Here’s what will happen if you do: We are giving away a scholarship to the 2009 Harmony University! That’s right, a scholarship that pays your tuition and allows you attend the second best school offered by the Society (CCC has to be #1). The drawing will be held Saturday night at the “Meet the Champs” show. But wait…… here’s the best part about this great opportunity! There are no tests to take, no puzzles to solve, or even any shipping and handling charges! In order to be eligible, all you have to do is register to attend Cardinal Chord College! It’s that easy, and hard to imagine isn’t it? Will your name be drawn? There’s only one way to find out…. Register for CCC! More information - The valuable links below provide a lot of useful information, like registration forms, plus several items like directions to IWU, a map, and schedules that can be printed and brought with you to CCC. These links should answer many of your questions. But if they don’t, or we’ve overlooked something, please feel free to contact the CCC registrar, Steve Albert, at salbert@bluemarble.net or (812)-825-8989. We’ll see you at CCC 11-13 July! |
