RSVT is back in session for the semester. It has not yet been determined our schedule for the semetser, but it should be ready soon. Look for a new "schedule" page up on the new site with places to sign up if you are a member of RSVT.-RH
UPDATE! RSVT is back in full swing for the 08-09 school year. We just finished up a recording a faculty jazz quartet on 4.10.08 and are looking forward to getting a lot more musical groups into our studio for recording.

We will use all the help we can get!

I. PARTICIPATION: Thanks to those who have been able to participate in our meetings so far! We have had some good meetings and covered a lot of material. IÌâåÕd like to see a few more people out so I have attached an availability sheet. Please take the time to fill it out and send it to recording@vt.edu to show me that you are interested in participating. We will attempt to make meetings as available as possible.
II. CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS: We have been working on a organizational constitution and Bylaws for the VTRS. This tedious writing is required before we can continue with any projects. So far, five of us have taken on parts of the constitution- but we still would like more input from the rest of the group. If you would like to be involved in the basic formation of the label and have an influence on itÕs goals and structure PLEASE email me NOW and let me know. We will be meeting as a group next Monday. Anyone interested in a leadership position with the label should strongly consider being involved.
III. RECORD LABEL NAME AND LOGO: We are still in pursuit of a good name for the record label. Some good ideas have been submitted but we would like to see a few more. ANYONE wishing to be INVOLVED with the label SHOULD SEND ME AT LEAST ONE IDEA NOW!!! This will be considered as your organizational ÒduesÓ for the semester. It should not take more than a few minutes to think of something!
IV. LONG TERM GOALS: Just as an exciting footnote, here are some of the organizations goals for this semester!
Finalize Bylaws and Organizational Structure by Spring Break (about two weeks from today)
Create Label Name and Image in order to make shirts for the organization and promote awareness through outlets such as WUVT, The CT, 16 Blocks Magazine and others.
Record various local bands for a ÒBest of the ÔBurgÓ sampler CD. This would involve a coordinated effort in recruiting, managing, marketing, recording and producing bands, CDs etc. We would like to showcase the labelÕs abilities with a huge CD release party/concert at a local venue early in Fall Õ08.
So, thanks for reading all the way through! Please email us a Record Label name idea and any interest in helping with the bylaws to let me know you are still interested in the project. Also send us the availability sheet! Again, this record label is what we make of it and we will need all the help we can get. It will be a great asset for Tech as well as a great contribution to your resume and work experience!
Our next meeting will be on Monday the 18th at 8pm in the studio!
