Updated: 2/5/2008 8:38:11 AM
Has your quartet achieved success at the district and international contest levels? Do you aspire to even greater success in your show and contest performances? If so, the Larry Ajer Endowment Fund can make it possible for your quartet to obtain outstanding coaching at Harmony University this summer . . . free!
The Larry Ajer Endowment Fund was established in loving memory of Larry Ajer, a long-time barbershopper and selfless contributor to our Society. Larry was devoted to providing quartets with opportunities to become better, more effective and entertaining performers in the art of barbershop harmony. He was the force behind such programs as Top Gun and Standing Ovation, an advocate of the show package competition, and a long-time coach/instructor at Harmony University.
Larry knew that Harmony University was an ideal venue for serious quartets who were dedicated to improving all aspects of their performance skills. Harmony University provided them with the best coaching available, and an opportunity to perform for hundreds of fellow Barbershoppers.
This summer, your quartet could be coached by the likes of Joe Connelly, Roger Stanfield, Mel Knight, and Alan Gordon, if you win the annual quartet coaching scholarship to Harmony University established and funded by the Larry Ajer Endowment Fund. The scholarship covers tuition, room and board for four quartet members, as a quartet, at Harmony University. To maintain the viability of future scholarships through this endowment fund, travel and other expenses are not covered.
