Backline refers to the essential stage equipment used in concerts, including musical instruments like drums and guitars, and sound amplification gear such as speaker cabinets. For bands traveling on short tours or single shows, especially by air, transporting their own equipment can be cost-prohibitive.At On Site Backline, I managed our full-service instrument rental and logistics operations, catering to the professional concert industry. With a track record spanning 19 years, we've supplied equipment for major concerts across all of the lower 48 states. Our expertise has supported hundreds of artists across various genres, helping to deliver outstanding concert experiences.

Peer elected to represent the student body as voting and planning member of the 10 person student activities board. In one academic year I personally planned more than 20 concerts for students and faculty using $37,000 in student funds. I was given a budget to share my favorite music with everyone on my campus and it was a wonderful time.At times I directed a group of committee members ranging from 5-25 people and in the process I developed strong management and organizational skills. One of the most valuable take always from this position was the exposure it gave me to communications at all levels. I was in constant communication with any number of people at the same time ranging from the student body to campus directors and I am happy to say I was always able to represent myself and my organization as competent and professional.

Through hard work and dedication I was nominated as the Communications director and a few weeks later as the Vice President.In cooperation with my phenomenal executive board we were able to boost membership levels to the highest they had been in a decade while planning and organizing trips and fundraisers. This was a personal project and one that I enjoyed nearly as much as anything else in my academic career.
