Counterpoint Budget

FY2013 (July 1 2012 - June 30, 2013)

Counterpoint is Carnegie Mellon's only all-female a cappella group. We have performed at such events as the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), The A CaPittsburgh Project” a benefit concert founded by Counterpoint in 2008, No Instruments Aloud, Carnival, Almost Midnight A Cappella, and countless other events over the years. In addition to concerts, we are also available for Singing Valentines every year, a Counterpoint tradition perfect for surprising a special someone or embarrassing a friend! We take pride in our unique song selections, ranging in genre from barbershop to blues to pop. All in all, we are a diverse group of girls with different personalities, interests, and goals brought together by one common thread: love of music!
