Backstage Technical Services is a group of overworked, under-fed and (if it's possible to say this) under-slept students who provide technical expertise to other Students' Union Clubs and Societies and event organisers in Sound, Lighting and Stage Management. For more information please visit or website at http://www.bts-crew.com

The fact that we exist solely to assist other societies and members of the Union and University to put on events makes Backstage a unique society within the Students' Union, although we are just as much a club/society as any other.

What types of event do we provide services for?
All of the big events (and most of the smaller events) are crewed by members of Backstage - all the bands that appear in ELEMENTS, the experience that is Freshers' Week, The Summer Ball, plays by Bath University Student Theatre (BUST), musicals by Bath University Student Musical Society (BUSMS) and many, many more.
We work both on- and off-campus, providing lighting, sound, set design, pyrotechnic, stage management and event management expertise.
