Thanks to everyone for showing up at our first meeting! Room 209 was more than full, which is the best kind of problem to have. Just over 50 students showed up and many stayed after for the listening session, where we heard the new Dream Theater album and discussed mixing techniques, perspective changes, and contrasted their previous albums. I hope you are all excited about the coming year as I know the officers and faculty are. Keep your eyes peeled for posters and check the bulletin boards outside of 209 and around the SRT hallway for more news and ways to get involved. There is so much to do and so much more we can do if we all work together. All ideas are welcome and encouraged. See you next week!
