July 16th 2022 CCC did a retreat at the YMCA of the Rockies with Tyler Wigginton coaching. Tyler worked us hard, but we feel that we make a better sound as a result. On the Saturday evening we gave a free concert at the Ruesch Auditorium. We presented our Patriotic package, which was very well received by the 100 or so people in the audience. We had a standing ovation at the end, and even a request for an encore!
Our directors were John Coffin and Jerry Hooper.

Wives Jenny, Marilyn, Karen and Nancy came onstage to help the audience sing America The Beautiful with us

CCC put on a very successful show as part of the Highlands Ranch Cultural Series on March 3rd 2022. This was our first time putting on a show for the Cultural Series and we hope to do it again in future years. Guest Quartet was Kindred

An unforgettable performance 12/6/2021 at USS Missouri

One of the great apple-pie traditions of American music, right up there with a marching band or Dixieland band, is the good old barbershop quartet. My mind goes right to those white gazebos in parks and town squares and those beribboned straw hats, big mustaches, and striped jackets that barbershop quartets typically sport.

While thinking about the famous Buffalo Bills, the quartet who sang “Lida Rose” in “The Music Man” movie (the subject of my last Epoch Times article), I began to wonder whether barbershop quartets still exist in America, or if it’s a dead or dying art form?

We are back rehearsing at Edgewater Community Church on Tuesdays, starting at 7:15pm

We will be following state and CDC guidelines to provide everyone with the safest possible environment for singing.

Currently masks are not required if you show proof of Covid vaccination.

A singing mask is recommended as they have more breathing room. Masks may be available for purchase at rehearsal.

We have a large fan blowing in air from outside, for ventilation. Because of this the rehearsal room may be chilly, so dress warm. NOTE: On poor air quality days we may move the meeting to Zoom-only.

The rehearsal will be broadcast on Zoom. Audio quality is not great, but you should be able to follow along.
