How to Book Sound of the Rockies for an Event

Updated

To book Sound of the Rockies for an event, use the Book section of soundoftherockies.com, where the chorus states it is ready to provide entertainment for occasions ranging from conventions and fundraisers to weddings and parties. You can request either one of its award-winning quartets or the entire ensemble. The site does not publish a booking form, price list, or lead-time requirement, so treat the website as the starting point and confirm availability, lineup, and cost directly with the group.

What You Can Book

Sound of the Rockies describes itself as Colorado's premier nonprofit men's a cappella group and barbershop chorus, more than 100 singers strong. For events, the site presents two options:

Option What the site says Typical fit
Award-winning quartets Book one of the group's award-winning quartets Smaller spaces, intimate moments, strolling or featured sets
Entire ensemble Book the full chorus Larger venues and audiences, convention and fundraiser stages

The site lists conventions, fundraisers, weddings, and parties as example occasions. It does not specify set lengths, repertoire limits, travel radius, or whether amplified sound is provided, so raise these questions when you make contact.

How to Start a Booking

  1. Go to soundoftherockies.com and open the Book section. The site describes this as the entry point for bringing the group to your event.
  2. Prepare the details the group will need to respond usefully: event date and time, venue and city, expected audience size, indoor or outdoor setting, and whether you want a quartet or the full chorus.
  3. Submit your request through the Book section and wait for a reply. The site does not state a response time, so if your date is fixed and near, follow up promptly rather than assuming a confirmation window.
  4. Confirm the practical terms in writing once you hear back: performance length, arrival and setup time, any sound or space requirements, and the fee.

Timing and Planning Notes

The site gives no booking deadline, so there is no published rule such as "book X weeks ahead." A sensible approach is to inquire as soon as your date and venue are set, and to have a fallback date in mind if you are planning around a peak season. Because the chorus performs multiple concerts and productions each year and also runs community outreach, its calendar may be busy; the earlier you ask, the more room you have to adjust.

For a wedding, for example, you might want a quartet during a cocktail hour and the full chorus for a featured set. The site does not say whether both can be arranged for one event, so describe the full plan in your inquiry rather than assuming it can be split.

Other Ways to See Them First

If you are unsure whether the group fits your event, attend a concert before booking. The site's Tickets section points to an upcoming events calendar with show information and tickets. Recent programming has included "American Poets in Harmony," a concert of American poetry set to music with guest quartet Sunday Night Social, and "A Barbershop Christmas Carol" on December 14. The group also offers Singing Valentines delivered by quartets, which is a lower-commitment way to gauge the style for a personal occasion.

If You Are a Singer, Not a Planner

The site's Join section covers a different path: visitors are invited to regular rehearsals on Thursdays, 7pm–10pm, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113, to meet the ensemble and learn about the audition process. That is for prospective members, not for event bookings.

What the Site Does Not Answer

The website provides no pricing, no booking form fields, no deposit or contract terms, and no stated geographic service area beyond performing throughout the Denver area. Do not assume the group is free because it is a nonprofit, or that it will travel outside the Denver area without asking. Confirm fees, travel, and availability directly before you publicize the performance to guests.
