INDIVIDUALS
Students will find a wide selection of classes specifically chosen for 2009. Our faculty are "experts" in their areas and they are excited
to be part of the 2009 team.

WEEKEND SONG
After you register, you will receive information about how to access the music and learning tracks for our weekend song, "You're Just in Love," which was arranged by Tom Gentry
for 4 men's parts, and 4 women's parts.
We should have a kick singing it during the weekend.

CHORUSES!!
Bring your chorus, and experience four sessions of incredible coaching - and you’ll still have time to take some of the otherterrific courses. During the sessions when you don’t have coaching, split up your chorus and cover lots of classes. Take notes, and bring that wisdom back to your chorus. This is a coaching and class experience that will positively excite your chorus. Maximum: four smal/mediuml choruses.

THREE SPECIAL SEQUENCES

Barbershop Theory has been expanded to be a two session class, and Arranging for Directors and Quartets is a two part class. These courses run for consecutive 90 minute sessions. Students should sign up for both sessions in the course.

Section Leader Bootcamp is a series of three sessions. Students are strongly encouraged to schedule themselves for all three courses in this series.

There are also three courses dealing with Visual Plans. Please consult the Course Descriptions to see the content of each course, and how they feed into each other.

QUARTETS!!
We have an exciting array of coaches ready to move your quartet to a higher level of artistry and performance quality. We will have quartet coaching available for all sessions on Saturday, and Sunday morning if you want to pack in one last session. Maximum: 16 quartets.

If you want to step out for a session or two to sit in on one of the terrific classes we have on tap, let us know, and we can arrange it.

DIRECTORS
For you we have set a delectable buffet of courses --- to be exact, nine courses during seven sessions. You get to pick which courses in the “Directors Track” are right for you. None of them are part of a series. If you want to hop over and take a course in the General Sessions, that’s ok too.
