Hello EMA Members & Friends!
Hello Everyone!!
It was a beautiful weekend and we hope everyone was able to get outside and enjoy the
warmer weather! Don’t forget that the deadline for payment & membership
applications is TODAY! In order to be eligible for funding for trips, tours, &
socials, you must pay your dues and fill out an online application today. If you
have any questions, please contact an EMA leader. St. Patrick’s Day is also right
around the corner followed by Spring Break, so enjoy the next few weeks and
hope for more nice weather!
Next EMA Meeting: The next EMA meeting will be held next Wednesday, March 18th at 5
p.m. in Glass 102. Leader nominations will be held, so make sure to talk to current leaders if
you are interested in taking a position next year. Elections will follow after Spring Break.
Event Spotlight: Broomball Social
The first official EMA social of the semester will be held on
Wednesday, March 18th from 10 p.m.-12 a.m. We will be
playing broomball at Mediacom Ice Park, similar to hockey
only there are no ice skates and you use a broom and ball to
try and score against the opposing team. Cost is still to be
determined and depends on how many people sign up. The
more people that go, the cheaper it will be for everyone! So
bring as many friends as you would like. If you have any
questions or would like to go, contact Matt Bosslet, EMA
Vice President, at [email protected].
Reminder: In order to be eligible for funding for trips, tours, and events you must apply for
membership online at http://theemlife.com or the EMA Facebook webpage and pay your
dues by Monday, March 9th, 2009. Dues for new members are $35 (which includes an EMA
polo) and returning members are $20 per semester. Payments are now ONLY accepted
online at the EMA Facebook webpage, for questions about payment, contact Zack Larsen at
[email protected]. Also, students in Dr. Rothschild’s class will get 3 extra
credit points for every event they attend and 1 extra credit point for chalking before
meetings, but you must be a paying member in order to get the points.
Member Spotlight: Anthony Miller is a senior Entertainment
Management Major focusing on Music Management. He hopes
to move to California after graduating and find a job doing
anything in the music industry. Eventually Anthony wants to
manage his own music career, have his own recording studio
and production company. His favorite EMA event so far was the
Super Bowl in Tampa and he is most looking forward to going to
more of the socials and volunteer events this semester.
Anthony was formerly in a band for two years and will be doing
an internship for Q102 radio here in Springfield this summer.
Something you might not know about Anthony is that his first
and second airplane rides were during the Super Bowl Trip! Fav quote: "All men dream, but
not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day
to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act
on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible"-Thomas E. Lawrence. Say HI to
Anthony at the next EMA event!

those who are successful in the music business. We can’t wait to hear all about the
trip at the next EMA meeting!

The Super Bowl is less than two weeks away!! EMA members

Manager of an arena or stadium during his career. He has
worked for six seasons in rides at Six Flags and interned at
the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Doug is most looking
forward to exciting socials this semester. Something you

eye with a BB gun. Doug’s advice: “Always listen in to those
in the field, take notes on their words of wisdom, enjoy the
experience in any part of the industry, you are lucky to have
it. Don’t be afraid to offer ideas, you never know who will
