what does the comm do? (Property Managers)

From this post onwards, it's going to be the power of 2! There are lots of benefits of having a partner in the same job. One huge boon is that the huge responsibility of the job is shared, and there is no greater responsibility than being in charge of the guitars of the ensemble! As the name suggests, Property Managers are in charge of all GENUS property - and without our guitars, we would not be able to play anything. D:

What do the Property Managers do?

• Maintenance of all the equipment that belongs to the club, including guitars, guitar cases, footstools, music stands, percussion instruments etc. (check for damages and repair and change strings if necessary)
• Reinforce the need to handle the guitars and other equipment properly and to take good care of them.
• Constant stock checking (after every practice) to ensure that every piece of equipment is being accounted for
• Ensure that everyone follows the guitar loaning system strictly (especially signing out before borrowing) so it is easy to keep track of the movement of guitars
• Maintain the tidiness of the storeroom, and follow the cupboard colour coding system so that it is easier to keep track of the guitars and other equipment
• Ensure that setting up and packing up goes on smoothly and efficiently for every practice
• Ensure the smooth running of concerts, equipment and logistics wise (i.e. guitar allocation, transport, storage, setting up, packing up)
• To keep track of the cupboard keys during practices

During AGM last year, a dinosaur (not the same one that I mentioned earlier) commented that the job of the Property Managers is so important that everyone is able to remember who were the PMs for each year but nobody remembers who the President or the rest of the comm is! :D Haha. I believe this is quite true as you see your PMs before and after every practice. (If you don't know who they are, it's either because you don't come for practices or you don't help to set up/pack up!)

So aspiring PMs, know that your names will go down in GENUS history!
