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 {{cl|2018 Freshers|freshers}} had arrived. Due to neither of them getting to know the freshers {{abbr|until later|Joe regrets this, they're all great}}, 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. | 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 {{cl|2018 Freshers|freshers}} had arrived.

In early autumn term, [[2018-2019|2018]], Sound Team were '{{abbr|ratified|made officially unofficial}}'. Joe had cooked up a plan to get both himself and Andrew keycard access to [[the studio]] and proposed to [[Edwin Barnes]], [[Station Director]] at whilst at [[Glasshouse|Drinking#YUSU Bars]] the time that he should be made {{abbr|Deputy Head of Sound|Yes, really. He asked to be deputy to a role that didn't yet exist. There's a reason he is known as 'boom bitch'}}, with Andrew becoming Head of Sound. For some reason Edwin agreed, despite not having had anything to drink yet, though the roles would not be recognised officially in either [[constitution]] or [[policy]] as having legitimacy, and would be purely constructions within the minds of the holders and those foolish enough to recognise them by the fake, unelected roles. Many freshers presumably didn't realise this, especially it was decided that the [[tech director|Technical Director]] had the power to decide who was part of [[Tech Team]] and allocate titles, leading to a short period in which the Station Director called on Sound Team for 'updates. This rarely happened, though one time we finally passed some money for a new, if cheap, boom pole. | |||
Eventually, the allure of being part of a recognised 'team' lead to Edwin suggesting [[Camera Team|Andrew Waddle#Camera Team]] become a thing, as well as [[Lighting Team|#Tom McGonagle]]. Both only consisted of a person each, and were thus more commonly known by their birth names, [[Andrew Waddle]] and [[Tom McGonagle]] respectively. The {{abbr|'team craze'|a few people started teams, which was odd and cliquey}} did however lead to the eventual formation of [[Tape Team]], which, whilst on paper sounds patently absurd and unnecessary, was the only 'team' that lived up to the utter absurdity of pretending you were part of a recognised yet unelected team in YSTV. | |||
