Our purpose is to provide a guide for the conduct of coalition affairs through a student organization which will promote cooperation among all the musicians of Eastern Illinois University, provide an opportunity for participation in the planning and presenting of concerts, and stimulate the musical, social, and cultural development of the members.

Basically, we put together shows, help out with fundraisers, cd releases, bar shows, etc. We also help student musicians network with each other.

And we're just really cool people.

In the '08-'09 school year, we put on Grassroots shows 1 and 2, including bands and musicians like Bryn Rich, Aslan's Claw (now Eternal Champion), The Signal (from Champaign), Little Boy Jr., Howard, Scott Chaplinski, Learn to Fly, Andy Masters, and me, SJB. We also helped the Physics club raise money for lab equipment by throwing a dance party in the 7th Street Underground, featuring three on-campus dj's/digital musicians: Eddy Phelps, Mitch Davis and Sean Irwin.

We hope to continue putting on shows, helping Charleston musicians, and raise money for other student groups.

After all, more hands are better than none. (read less)
