AucklandCampusNews SAE Social Club Presents: In The Mix n In The Mix is a quarterly social event run by “SAE Social Club”, made up of staff members and stu- dents of the Bachelor of Recording Arts class. The latest event was set for Thursday 23rd of August. It was an event for students, friends and family as well as the general public to enjoy. Local bands and mu- sicians from a variety of styles were booked to play the event, including students from SAE Institute. SAE Auckland’s Live Sound Workshop team ran the sound and stage setup on the night, providing valu- able real world experience and allowing them to put recently learned skills to practice under the pres- sures and time constraints they will later find work- ing in the industry. The Bachelor of Recording Arts class gained valu- able know-how in the field of event management & promotion. Putting on these events is no easy task as it involves organising the line-up, venue and equipment for the musicians, arranging sponsorship for prizes and giveaways, promoting the event via online gig guides and with poster runs, negotiating beverage and food specials with the bar, managing the proceedings on the night, and even devising ac- tivities and attractions to entice gig-goers to attend.

Between acts, several mu- sic video projects from the film students were also showcased to the audience. As well as being a lot of fun, the event has become a highly valuable tool for SAE Auckland, acting as an educational exercise for students and a showcase opportunity for their work. With growing numbers at each event, it looks as though the upcoming shows will be some nights to remember! n 249 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // Intercontinental NEWS Index
