== The Mass Music Movement ==
Intro: Mass Music will be an organization that supports and manages young artists, as well as creates a place on campus for students interested in the music industryto expand their network and learn important lessons about the business. The reason why this organization is necessary is because it will give students the opportunity to have real world experience while also giving them the opportunity to network and make connections within UMass, as well as outside the University.
Team Leaders: Steven Bowe, Shamus Hill, Jerry Alonzo, Ikenna Ugwu
Goals: Our events will include guest speakers from record companies, radio stations, and other various businesses related to the music industry, as well as concerts and festivals to not only give student artists & musicians a place to perform, but will also give students the opportunity to learn about booking shows and event coordination. We will work closely with the campus radio station, WMUA to train DJ's and expand the growing level of interest in the field of music. This group is open to all majors and backgrounds.
Milestones: After some initial marketing and campaigning to determine the level of interest at UMass, the Team Leaders have been making strides towards establishing the organization before the end of the Fall 2016 Semester.
