Consisting of good friends Andrew Battersby and Joseph Wharfe, Sound Team are two YSTV members who attempted, and partially succeeded to leverage their type casting as sound crew as a positive.
1st Year
Both Joe and Andrew were first years when they met during the filming of Hidden, one of the first productions and first short films Joseph Wharfe worked on. He originally wanted to do try camera work, but new and shy of all the competent seeming people around him, he accepted any role that was thrust upon him without protest. The second day on set this meant holding Andrew Battersby's boom pole, and thus was born a duo who would forever be know for their homoerotic euphemisms towards each other, whether intentional or not.
Andrew and Joe didn't see much of each other after the wrap of Hidden until Roses 2018, where they both found each other waiting for the coach to Lancaster. After departing the coach, they began to wander over to where the rest of YSTV was, when they encountered the Dylan, who had decided to crew for YSTV for the weekend. They grew measurably closer through witnessing and sharing stories of his strange behaviour. After Roses they pigeonholed themselves by willingly teaming up again as Sound Recordist and Boom Operator during the filming of The SU, where Joe made more jokes about making Andrew's pole longer.
2nd Year
Joe and Andrew started the year making as many homoerotic jokes about each other as they ever did, and frequently during station meetings just shortly after the freshers had arrived. Due to neither of them getting to know the freshers until later, the social secretary at the time, Charlotte Rogers was frequently asked whether or not we were an actual couple. She had to confirm with Sound Team that they weren't, as she couldn't actually tell.
