38 Strode College students traveled up to Birmingham NEC on the day to try the equipment and see the demonstrations. There was plenty to do including a ‘learning zone’ run by the School of Audio Engineering, large club style venue, demonstrations by top DJs as well as seminars on how to make the best use of music software packages. In the middle of the day they held a discussion with a group of professionals about finding jobs in the music industry.
