WHAT IS CASA?
 
 
The Contemporary A Cappella Society is a non-profit organization formed in 1990 to foster and promote a cappella music of all styles. Our members include thousands of fans and vocalists as well as professional, collegiate and recreational a cappella groups from around the world.   Membership in our organization is open to groups, singers and anyone who enjoys a cappella. Members enjoy significant discounts on a number of products, as well as many services useful to the fan as well as the performer.  
  
CASA offers a number of programs and resources free of charge to the international a cappella community at large, as well as specifically to our membership. Choose from the menu on any page to find out about all the benefits and services of our organization.

Harmonet Search Engine
 
The Harmonet  
is the BBSHOP mailing list, served by Humber College in Ontario, has over 2000 subscribers as of January, 1998. The Harmonet, as the list is known to its members, is a place in cyberspace where you can meet luminaries of the barbershop art - arrangers, direcors, judges, international champions, Society officers, and hundreds and hundreds of male and female barbershoppers. To subscribe, send a message consisting of just  this one line:   
SUBSCRIBE BBSHOP 

to listserv@admin.humberc.on.ca and watch your email for a message explaining how to confirm your subscription.   

The Harmonet Reporter  
goes to contests and conventions and reports back to the mailing list with scores and stories. He also maintains a Web page where all his past reports are catalogued.   Speaking of past posts, you can browse every Harmonet message sent since November of 1994 at the Harmonet Archives or you can look up messages by author, title or subject using Tim Cheney's Harmonet Message Search.   You can also find the e-mail address of anyone currently subscribed to  the Harmonet using the Harmonet Member Search Engine.   
      


There are a couple of offshoots of 
the BBSHOP list worth mentioning.  
    
BBSNEWS  
is a moderated subset of the list, meaning its editor (FAQ-man Tom Arneberg himself) pulls the highlights from the list, collects them into sets of a half-dozen or so, and sends them out. You won't miss any major news announcements, but you won't get a hundred messages about how to build a set of wind chimes that play a barbershop seventh chord. To subscribe, send a politely-worded request to toma@cray.com.   
   
BURPS  
is a humor-oriented offshoot of the Harmonet. The name, an acronym for "Barbershoppers Urging Repeated Punning as a Sidegroup," is itself an inside joke. The humor found there is mostly  puns, often irreverent, and rarely directly related to barbershop music, but most or all of the participants are barbershoppers. To join, send a message to burps-request@mach3ww.com with the word "subscribe" in  the SUBJECT of the message.   
   
 
 
 
Barbershop Chat
 
There is a growing number of barberhsoppers who like to participate in real-time online discussions of barbershop and other topics. If you use Internet Relay Chat via a program like mIRC (for the PC) or ircle (for the Mac) then you can go to the University of Louisville's IRC server (irc.louisville.edu) and join channel #bbshop. There's no telling who you  might run into there, nor at what hour! For AOL users, there's also a chat room called BBSHARMONY  that's open one night a week (or more!). For details, search the Harmonet Archives for recent messages containing "chat room" in the message body. 
 

Other music on the Internet
 
 
Here are a non-barbershop vocal-music organization:
 
  VOCALIST is a mailing list for singers and voice teachers. Most of the discussion centers around classical music, but a lot of it is applicable to any music style. Send a message reading simply
 
SUBSCRIBE VOCALIST or SUBSCRIBE VOCALIST-DIGEST
 
   to
majordomo@phoenix.oulu.fi
 
to subscribe.
