GUMC Ceilidh!!
Annual music club ceilidh will be on Friday 18th Feb, at THE ROCK. Let us know on the facebook event if you can come! Hope to see you all there :) Entry just £2 members, £3 non members!
General Update (and a few new videos)
Apologies for the lack of hoodies last term! We should be getting order forms out in the next week or two so keep your eyes peeled!
If you still haven't received a membership card - Sorry! Either email us and let us know what group you are part of, or just hassle your group coordinator! Most of the group coordinators should have a supply of blank cards along to rehearsals with them and you can just write your name on them.
Dates for the residential and the ball are just about finalised now. The ball is always a great night, and last year was the first music club residential trip which was a great success, so don't miss out on the opportunity to come along!
There is a video on the Evening Concert page which GUST filmed, and also one on the Percussion Ensemble page of a short video some of the percussion members were in to raise awareness of Sudan 365, so check these out if you have 5 mins to spare.
Wind Band members- There is now a small individual wind band committee so hopefully any issues you may have (needing extra photocopies, not receiving emails etc) will now be sorted out even quicker! I think the members of this were announced in a rehearsal last term, but if you're unsure just ask Dara or Leon and they should be able to point them out to you!
Think that's everything other than to say see you all soon. Oh, and don't forget that we get free entry into Viper on a Wednesday!- just say you're from Glasgow Uni Music Club :) Don't be too late though, I think guest list stops at 10.30 or 11pm.

Happy New Year!
Hope you all had a lovely holiday :) Rehearsals start back again next week (week 2) with the exception of Percussion Ensemble which will begin again this coming Friday 15th. Look forward to seeing you all again, and new members always welcome- just come along!
Thanks to everyone who came along to any of our events or concerts last term, and don't worry if you missed out- there's much more to come in the next few months- check out the Upcoming Events to get those all important dates in your diary early! Photos are also now up of most of the social events.
