Committee & Conductors 2010-2011

Meeting

So you have sat in choir thinking "Wouldn't it be nice to get more involved with the society?" or in orchestra thinking "I could run this much better." then now is your chance to do something about it! The society is run by other members and as a large society we have a large committee, providing plenty of opportunity for anyone who wants to, to get involved. It is not only fun, but also gives you the opportunity to shape MusicSoc for the future.

We have the following positions on the committee. Click on each one to read a bit more about it. A number of positions have changed this year and the role associated with positions have changed slightly as well; I have detailed the changes at the bottom of this page. Next to each position of the name of the person who has done that role on the committee this year. Do come and chat to Rupert in confidence if you are thinking of standing and I can tell you a bit more about a position.

Changes to the committee positions

For a full list of members of last years committee 2009-2010 click here. This year we have created a number of new positions and removed the 'non-executive' roles. This is to encourage a more balenced committee between ensembles and spread the roles of some of the larger jobs.

  • Vice-Chairman role created to oversee the society-wide aspects of the society. Taken on roles originally undertaken by the Chairman
  • Assistant Managers for all unauditioned ensembles. To assist the managers, and ensure there that there is at least one other committee member in that ensemble on the committee.
  • Events Manager role created to oversee the non-musical aspects of putting on concerts, surrounding logistics; jobs that were originally done by the Ensemble Managers, Friends Officer and Chairman.
  • If you don't get a committee position that you have applied to then you can stand again on the night for another position.
