<p>There was recently an event and they mentioned the Big Red Ambition: 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do. One of it was request a song for tower. I went on website and there was only request specialty concerts which costs 90$ min. Does anyone know how to just request a song for free or do they not do such things?</p>
<p>the best way to do that would be to actually know one of those chimes players...</p>
<p>but there are obviously people who can afford that on this campus...i </3 seeing chicks on their laptops during class browsing for 200$++ dresses which they will inevitably purchase...</p>
<p>Just walk up to the top of the tower before/during one of the concerts and ask whoever's playing the chimes...and as long as they know how, they should play whatever you want.</p>
<p>just a correction: it's $90 per 15 minutes, and usually only people who are getting married in Sage request them. sometimes there are people proposing to their girlfriends with a concert, or a parent requesting a birthday concert for their kid.</p>
<p>otherwise, just climb up to the top of the tower, and ask the chimesmaster who's playing. and if they know the song, they'll play it.</p>
<p>and if it's something that you know in advance that you want played, you can ask nicely in an email.</p>
<p>There's a difference between requesting a song at a regularly scheduled concert (7:45AM, 1:10 PM, and 6PM) and requesting a special concert at a time of your choosing. Just climb up to the top of the tower, say hello to the Chimesmaster, and enjoy the view!</p>
<p>This is sort of an embarrassing question to ask, but um, how do you climb the tower?</p>
<p>they rent out rock climbing gear on the ground floor</p>
<p>...jk, you walk up the stairs :P</p>
<p>i adored these concerts when i went...except it was so hard to hear my tourguide over them! But so pretty to hear.</p>
<p>the door to the tower opens 10 min before every concert and they close about 10 min into the concert. concerts are weekdays at 7:45am, 1:10pm, and 6:00pm, and weekends at 10:10am, 12pm, and 6pm. it usually takes people around 5 min to get to the top.</p>
<p>Ohh I see, thanks. Maybe i'll send an email asking if its possible =) since I doubt they'll know the song</p>
