Champaign-Urbana music business tour is scheduled

Last semester we utilized Rose Marshack's (MBA advisor) connections to get tours of prominent establishments in the Chicago music scene. Tours included Electrical Audio, Chicago Recording Company, The Metro, Thrill-Jockey Records and Touch & Go Records. All very cool!

This semester Rose's connections take us to Champaign-Urbana! Only 45 minutes East of ISU lies a musical diamond in the rough. Champaign will give us an inside look into several aspects of the music industry. From Venue operations to distribution procedure, studio management to festival planning, Champaign has it all.

MBA members and all interested parties leave at 9:00am (tenatively) on the morning of March 20th. If you are an interested party then email Brandon Pacyna at bpacyna@ilstu.edu for more information!
