2019-2022

What started as a small group of 5 of my musician friends wanting to network, slowly became something much bigger. By 2022, Bloomington Delta Music’s involvement had reached over 300 students, was the reason behind the exodus of over 10 local bands, and was nominated for Student Organization of the year for 2 consecutive years. BDMC gave students a place to practice, perform, and network with other student musicians. It gave resources those who were just starting out and looking for new experiences.

Open Air Venues, started by Indiana University in 2020, provided opportunities for students, faculty, staff, campus departments and student organizations to present a variety of events in safe and socially distant outdoor environments. This specific event was sponsored by Open Air Venues.
