It's hard to measure how far you've come without a picture of where you started, and the web is full of pictures, like this one:
http://web.archive.org/web/19961031084205/www.casa.org/index.html
Many great memories are triggered by this page, as well as some perspective:
* The ICCA's were only the NCCAs and had just had their first finals in Carnegie Hall.
* BOCA was brand new.
* The first CASA songbook had just been published.
* There was only one A Cappella Summit (what we now call the West Coast Summit)
* The a cappella newsgroup (rec.music.a-cappella) was in full effect.
A stroll through the directory, list of web links or recording archives provides a good snapshot of the size of the community at that time.
And if you want to get a good sense of the scope and perspective of the a cappella community a decade ago, take a stroll through the 6 part FAQ.
There are also some enjoyable interviews and concert reviews in the "reading room"
By the way, the width of the logo and bars at the top of the page was the width of a web browser screen back in those days.
If you remember those days, take a look-see, and perhaps post a couple memories below. We've come a long way, baby!
