Student
Offices
In addition to
their involvement in performing ensembles, many students
in Purdue's Department of University Bands choose to participate
in the Student Officer Corps. This volunteer organization
is comprised of nearly 100 students, who staff six operational
offices in the department: the Music Library, Clothing,
Records and Recruitment/Public Relations, Supply, Operations,
and Outreach & Extension. The Library
Office processes, maintains, and distributes the
music used by the bands and orchestra. The Clothing
Office procures, maintains, and distributes departmental
uniforms and costumes. The Records
and Recruitment Office maintains
all non-official student records, and prepares department
mailings; and assists the Public relations staff member
in announcing upcoming Band and Orchestra events, catalogs
photo archives, maintains an up-to-date performance calendar,
and maintains the University Bands Website. The Supply
Office manages the instrument and equipment needs
of the many performing groups. The Operations
Office is responsible for the transport and set-up
of equipment and props, prior to each performance.
Each one of
these individual offices is managed by a Student Office
Head, who is responsible for overseeing the activities of
the office, scheduling the activities of volunteers, and
recruiting and training new staff members. Although each
Office Head reports to a faculty advisor on the Bands Staff,
the students operate nearly all of the offices almost independently.
Departmental operations would be impossible without the
assistance of these volunteers, who play a vital role in
the daily functions of the department.
In the past,
the Bands Department has been unable to offer financial
aid to the students who served the department as Office
Heads, however, due to the generosity of a Purdue Alum,
this situation has changed. During the 1998-1999 academic
year, each Student Office Head will be awarded a "Herbert
and Janice Wilson Student Leadership Scholarship." Valued
at $1,250 a year, these scholarships have been awarded to
each of the six Student Office Heads, as well as the Drum
Majors in the Marching Band.
