[Announcement] Voices of the Faithful

The pep band CD recorded in February 2002 is done at long last. After delays due to studio shut downs, copyrights, art work formatting, and finally a shipment of CDs sent in November containing the wrong CD, I can say with certainty that CDs are complete and in Ithaca. If you pre-ordered, they will be shipping out tomorrow morning.

I expect that further details on how to get a copy of the CD will be forthcoming from Grant MacIntyre '05, the current pep band manager.

I sincerely apologize for all the false alarms about release dates. Each time I was under the impression that the end was near. Each time something out of the band's control crept up and delayed the project.

I now leave it in Grant's capable hands to arrange distribution and sales of the CDs.

If you have any feedback, whether it be positive or negative, I encourage you to leave it here or if you feel more comfortable you may email me personally. Constructive feedback will help to make future pep band CDs better.

Thank you all for your continued support,
Chris Parkin '03
2002 Pep Band Manager

To get your copy you have several options:

If you want to be even more patient, you can wait until they appear at the Campus Store. The timetable for this is not yet set, I will post here when they are available at the store.

If you are on campus, feel free to grab a copy from me. To do this, email me at bigredpepband@yahoo.com with the subject "Ithaca CD Pickup". Please include your campus address and phone number in this email. I will compile a list of all people that order and personally deliver it to your door (or arrange a convenient meeting time on campus). To purchase the CD, you will need a check for 15 dollars made out to the Cornell University Big Red Pep Band.

If you are off campus, please send an email to bigredpepband@yahoo.com with the subject "CD Delivery" and I will send you further information.

We will also be at any home playoff lacrosse games, and we will we have CDs with us there. If you prefer this method, just show up and bring a check for 15 dollars.

Important Note: If you previously emailed your information to the address above, it has been deleted by Yahoo. Please send your information again!

Please check this thread frequently for any updates.

I echo Chris' thanks for your tremendous patience during this ordeal. I look forward to shipping out your CD!

I think I speak for all of us when I say...WOOHOO!

Let's hope none of the screener copies have made their way to Bangkok or Singapore. <g>

There seems to be some conflicting information between what Parkin said as to what Tuba said. When we pre-ordered, we sent our information to that Yahoo address. Does this mean pre-orders are still coming or the address information is needed again?

If you pre-ordered, you don't need to do anything. They are in today's outgoing mail.

I think what Grant is saying is that if you wrote to the yahoo email address to be sent informational updates on CD progress, your contact information has been lost.

Chris is correct. Sorry for the confusion!

One more quick note:

Cash is an acceptable payment if you are purchasing on campus, but we cannot accept credit card payments.

Preordered and out tomorrow and received yesterday. Wow, and it's great too. Unfortunately , it brings back too many memories and makes waiting for the fall very hard. I had just about gotten over the end of the season, and now this. How could they do it to me? Don't they realize that it will now take another couple of months to get back to realism?

Seriously, it's a great CD for anyone who misses the feel of Lynah. I heartily recommend it to all, but remember it will be hard to get back down to earth.

Can Chris or Grant (or anyone who already has the CD) remind me which songs were recorded that weekend? Or more relevantly I guess, which ones actually made it on? I'm getting nostalgic in my extreme old age, this'll be a good way to take Lynah away with me...thanks!

What if I can't remember if I preordered or not? (Yes, it's been that long...)

I definitely pre-ordered one and its not here yet. I am pretty far from Ithaca, so the mail is probably just taking its time. Wait a few days and see if one shows up.

We ordered 1 and it arrived the day after they said it was shipped. We live in Ithaca.

The CDs were shipped via Media Mail, so the farther you are from Ithaca, the longer it will likely take.
