Live Music Society has given me incredible opportunities to build friendships, share music, and be part of a welcoming community. As an active member for the past two years, I have personally loved how LM events bring together musicians of all skill levels in a fun environment, hence I want to maintain and expand on these opportunities as an Events Officer. Here are some of my ideas:
- Building on LM's regular themed monthly gigs and Build-a-Band jams, I'd like to make them even more cohesive and engaging by introducing community polls/suggestions to choose themes, and have some gigs focusing on specific genres/eras of music. I hope to make sign-ups and turnover times during gigs more structured such that all bands can have equal opportunities to perform.
- Strengthen the number and competitiveness of non-drinking, inclusive events (eg. LM Family events) because we love competition but we also love cheering each other on :)
- Collaborate with other performing arts societies (eg. Dance, Folk Country) to provide even more exciting opportunities to showcase live music
I am a people-centred, organised (I love spreadsheets!) and responsible person, with leadership experience having held multiple Chairperson roles in the past. I am also very familiar with the various LM events, I even tried to sing during a jam before (I'm a drummer). I aim to listen to the community to deliver events in a vibrant way, so everyone can enjoy making music and friends. Thank you and I hope you vote for me!
