The Bishop’s University Music Society (BUMS)
The music department at Bishop’s has a very tight-knit yet welcoming community. Walking through the Bandeen Hall lobby on any given school day, you will see a flurry of student activity; socializing, transcribing tunes, or firing off emails behind the office desk, students are truly the heart of the music department.
Governed by a dedicated student executive, BUMS is a society comprised of all students in the music department. The primary focus of BUMS is to provide opportunities for students to establish a strong social foundation upon which a healthy academic environment may be built. BUMS also acts as a means of communication between the student body as a whole and the faculty.
BUMS provides a means of socialization mostly through events. Frequently-occurring events include cabarets, potlucks, movie-viewings, and semi-annual formals. These initiatives help to build the strong sense of community in our music department. It is the general belief of both the faculty and students that a strong social environment yields positive academic results and BUMS serves as a powerful and tangible testimony to this.
Currently, the BUMS executive is:
President: Marc Deshaies
Vice President: Chris Blades
Treasurer: Chelsea Lee
Secretary: Amy Norman
Jenna Peacock
Guillaume Richards
Megan Buchkowski
BUMS also has a facebook group!
