We are the officers on the RUMS committee for 2008/09, so look out for us at rehearsals and make sure you talk to one of us if you have any questions, queries or a problem with anything.
President: Matt Jackson
Matt is currently in his second year at Reading where he is studying for a law degree. He is mainly an orchestral percussionist, and is therefore proud to be the first non-musician as the president of the society! He also plays violin when needed.
If you need to talk to him, you can usually find him either in the Orchestra on Monday nights or Concert band on Tuesdays, although he will be popping in to bands occasionally throughout the year.
Vice-President: Chris Riley
Chris Riley is a Physical Geographer. When he is not colouring between the lines he is either playing the clarinet or singing bass in several RUMS activities.
Secretary: Tristan Cameron
Tristan is a part 2 undergraduate studying robotics. He is a Clarinetist in concert band and Jazz, and sings in Gospel Choir too! He likes to write and arrange music, as well as amateur sound design. In his spare time, he likes to build robots out of Lego, and whenever it is windy can be seen on the Fields opposite Bulmershe, flying his Power Kite!
Treasurer: Chris Alexander
Chris is a part 2 student studying Robotics; he plays clarinet, a scattering of brass instruments and (if you're really unlucky) drums and percussion. You'll find him in Concert and Brass Band, and helping out wherever he can in concerts. In his spare time (of which there is little thanks to his degree) he works developing websites and generally having a good time of University life.
Social Secretary: Emily Cooper
Emily is in her second year studying Music and Education. Her first instrument at university is trombone and will be performing the Symphony Orchestra's concerto later in the year,as well as concert band. She also plays violin and piano and teaches these in the local area.

She loves music, going out with friends, and sleeping... lots.
