\nWe’re not back to class yet, and you’re trying to obtain a spot in the room to rehearse? The subscriptions will re-open in the second or third week of the semester, in order to clean out the room and make sure everything is ready. However it is VERY requested and thus we have limited places, I would therefore advise you to keep a careful eye on our instagram page @epfl_musical<\/strong> o\u00f9 nous allons annoncer la r\u00e9ouverture des inscriptions.
\nIMPORTANT<\/strong>: for solo subscriptions, we try to prioritize for people who have no way of practicing at home due to noise issues of their instrument (for example Horns) and\/or space availability (for Drummers). This is why we are currently not accepting any singers, pianists or guitarists for next semester, since we consider they can be practiced at home with headphones, and the giant demand we are currently faced with leads us to having to prioritize those who cannot otherwise play at all.
\nNous sommes navr\u00e9s de ne pas pouvoir contenter tout le monde. Musical fait de son mieux pour offrir autant de places que possible mais nous sommes limit\u00e9s en place, disponibilit\u00e9 et argent dans un campus aussi grand que le notre.\n– Subscriptions are closed, how can I register anyways?<\/strong>
\nWell, you can’t! Wait in line as many others have the same thoughts as you have. Subscriptions for the room are currently closed, so this means we have attained our maximum capacity of bands and soloists. The campus is expanding and so is the number of student, but to our greatest sadness the room isn’t expanding and we can’t perform miracles. We have received an enormous amount of subscription requests, and have been forced to do a selection based on the number of students per band, old and new members mixed, solo and groups\u2026 It has been very difficult for us to find a good mix, and even more difficult having to say no to more than half of the bands who asked for access to the room.
\nWe hope you’ll understand and wish you the best in your musical doings. However, our events are for the most part free and accessible to all: come and play at Sat in our jam sessions! Every bit of information will be published on instagram: @epfl_musical<\/strong>.
\nSadly we cannot grant exceptions, as we are already at full capacity and we receive requests for exceptions every week, so it would not be fair to those who requested access before the deadline and even then could not register… We invite you to fill the form again, once we reopen subscriptions next semester or next year. We would take all subscriptions if it was possible, however we are limited by constraints beyond our control. We might be able to grant exceptionally the room before a concert if you discuss with us.\n– Where can I find pianos on campus?<\/strong>
\nMusical owns 3 pianos on campus, recently tuned for y’all! You can find them aroud on campus: in the SV hall, in front of the Foodlab in CM, and on top of the BC building. There are others that are not under our jurisdiction.  We invite you to address the AUMC if you’re looking for a repetition space, you can rent them on: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AUMC.UNIL.EPFL\/<\/a>\n– How can I rent material?<\/strong>
\nWe do lend gear to members of the EPFL community but only for specific events, and we don’t do long term loans. If you’d like to rent some material, please fill in the form available on https:\/\/forms.gle\/6eFFjD31YVMEKVsdA<\/a>\n– I’m looking for people to play with me, where can I find them? How can I play on a stage?<\/strong>
\nYou can join the telegram group Musical Community, where amateurs and musicians exchange propositions: events, album\/song releases, band member proposition… The link is available here: https:\/\/t.me\/+vH3IgAzuFipkNTNk<\/a>
\nC'est \u00e9galement sur ce groupe que nous pouvons publier des appels \u00e0 groupes, m\u00eame si notre principal moyen de communication reste le compte instagram@epfl_musical<\/strong>).\n– How can I participate in the association’s activities?<\/strong>
\nWe are very happy to hear you’d like to meet more musicians and music-enthusiastic people, you’ve come to the right place!
\nAvec Musical nous en organisons une jam (improvisation \u00e0 plusieurs) tous les premiers lundis du mois le soir au bar Satellite du campus EPFL<\/strong>, exceptions excluded. There you can find a lot of people who share your music interest. Our sister association “Unison”, which represents music at UNIL, does Jam Sessions every Wednesday under the Banane building in their campus.
\nWe also have a telegram group where everyone who wants to stay updated on the latest music events on Campus\/in Lausanne can join freely, it’s called Musical Community. Some people also look for musicians and\/or groups in here, sometimes to form new bands, to offer gigs or share their work; here is the link to join it: https:\/\/t.me\/+vH3IgAzuFipkNTNk<\/a>
\nFinally, I’d recommend you follow us on instagram @epfl_musical<\/strong> as we communicate on all of our events over there, and we have several more activities you can discover there which might interest you: concert nights, artists’ portraits, music recommendations, news on our other projects (the Studio, EPFL Big Band our jazz orchestra, and many more)\u2026 everyone finds their liking!\n

Nous cherchons aussi de l'aide occasionnelle en tant que staff ou pour des montages vid\u00e9o. Si vous avez un talent de vid\u00e9aste, n'h\u00e9sitez pas \u00e0 nous contacter pour discuter de projets avec nous !<\/p>\n

En esp\u00e9rant que cela vous motive \u00e0 passer \u00e0 nos \u00e9v\u00e8nements ;)<\/p>\n– What does it mean to be staff?<\/strong>
\nNotre comit\u00e9 est actuellement au complet pour les postes organisationnels, mais nous faisons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des appels \u00e0 staff pour des soir\u00e9es ponctuelles ou nous avons besoin de support. Il est donc possible de staffer pour nous une fois sans pression et d\u00e9couvrir un peu les backstages donc n'h\u00e9site pas \u00e0 rejoindre cet autre groupe Telegram: https:\/\/t.me\/+jQkZm0XyZVkwNWE0<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
