  • Let's Talk About the CCS Culture
    THE BEAT From the Greater Indianapolis Chapter, Barbershop Harmony Society Winner, 2011 PROBE International Bulletin Contest Volume 44, Issue 4 April 2013 Our mission: To enhance lives by performing with excellence and encouraging singing within our community. Let’s talk about the CCS culture We hear in chapter meetings about “the CCS culture” and the way we collectively and individually exhibit that culture. So just Skipp Kropp what exactly IS “the CCS culture”? The Oxford Dictionary de- fines “culture” in terms of beliefs and attitudes as “the beliefs CHAPTER PRESIDENT and attitudes about something that people in a particular group or organization share.” That’s it in a definitional nutshell, but that’s only where the story begins. “I want us to be the most friendly, most supportive and most active We as a group define the CCS culture in the way we hold our- chapter in the district...” selves out at events, the way we sing in public, the way we treat each other, and the way the public, our friends, and our families perceive us. We each have to ask ourselves how we want our culture to be molded and then conduct ourselves in a manner that makes that happen. I thought I’d share my vision of CCS culture and let you know the direction I hope CCS is taking. I want CCS to be the flag- ship chapter in Cardinal District. We are already the biggest chapter in the district, and I want us to be the most friendly, most supportive, and most active chapter in our district.
