Co-Chair

I'm Buse, and I am Co-chair and vocalist for BMN2026! I get to tell people what they need to do, and if they don't, I cry :D
I am a well seasoned BMNee (gonna be my fifth year in the committee, sixth year participating in BMN) and I'm very excited to see what our people will bring to the table!
My music shenanigans began at around 14-15 years old, when I started recording myself singing and posting it online. Ever since, it kinda took over my life. Now I'm a somewhat okay singer,picked up (voice) acting as well and was able to join this amazing group of people in organizing a spectacular annual happening. Please look forward to this year's concert, cause I'm sure we'll be rocking your socks off~

Co-Chair

"Yes, it is I, says me. And all who agree are more than three cuz they're we!"
I'm Merijn, also known as Murren or 'forg'. I have made my return after last year, this time sharing a chair with Buse! Together, we're gonna make sure this year is even better than last year. I've been playing the drums since the ripe young age of seven, and I am hopefully in my last year of the CS bachelor alongside the BMN. Music is by far the most important thing in my life. My favorite genres all fall in the Metal category, but I listen to a wide variety of EDM subgenres as well, from popular to obscure, and the cultured amongst us will have recognized my opening quote from Dr. Dre's "Stranded on Death Row". I can ramble on about music forever, but let's switch it up. Besides music I write and read (but no one believes that), I do software development and event support to pay the bills, I am full-time discordian, and I make sure to never go to sleep before 4am. I also write stories and code a lot in my free time, maintaining the BMN website, game mods, websites and occasionally an uni assignment. Cheers, and see you June 3rd at the BMN!

Event Manager / Composer / Vice-Chair

Yerroooo, I'm Jenny! I’ve been listening and singing along to music of all kinds all my life and had singing classes for around 2.5 years. I also taught myself some ukulelelele and guitar, but still need to practice a lot with those. This year I will be the Event Manager, Composer and Vice-chair for the BMN. This means that 1) I’ll manage the events ~ this includes organising bonding activities and booking the studios for the rehearsals. 2) I'll be puzzling with songs and squish them into a medley. 3) I'll make sure that Bubu and Murrie don't overwork themselves and go to bed on time (the hardest task of all probably...). Currently I’m studying Computer Science, but I did not learn how to fix a printer yet. Hope to see you at this year’s concert!

Time Manager

Hi there! My name is Femke, this year’s time manager. My main job this year is making the rehearsal schedules, and haunting anyone who doesn’t fill in their availability on time. After playing classical piano from the age of six, I decided to participate in the BMN last year. This gave me the opportunity to explore different kinds of music and to discover the joy of playing with others. Currently I am doing the master Theoretical Physics. Outside of BMN and my studies, I love to climb, run (mostly from responsibilities), and bake. See you at the BMN!

Setlist Manager

Hi, I’m Luka, as of writing this I’m 18 years old and currently in the first year of my physics and mathematics bachelor, so this will be my first BMN and I’m super excited to be a part of the organization for such a fun (I’ve heard) concert. My task this year is manage the setlist, as we get a ton of song suggestions each year and we sadly can’t play them all, but do send in some fun suggestions you enjoy and maybe we’ll play your song at the BMN this year! I’ve been playing mostly classical piano since I was about 9 years old, yet my music taste has basically nothing to do with classical piano as I’m mainly interested in a range of subgenres of rock. Here at the BMN we will play many different genres, so I’m looking forward to playing songs I actually listen to and especially to play them with or for all of you. As you could have guessed I enjoy playing as well as listening to music, but besides that I also like to hang out with friends, to read and I love traveling to new places around the world, although my studies have taken quite a lot of my pastime recently. Luckily I still have time to enjoy music and I hope all of you have too and I’ll see you at the upcoming BMN!

Roadie/Agent

I'm Milo, chief gear officer (friends can call me roadie) of this year's committee. This means I can play anyone's guitar without permission, but also that you can blame me if you can't hear your favorite musician because I forgot to bring the cable to hook them up to the sound system. If the guitarists ruin their effect pedal settings despite me telling them to keep their hands off, that's not my fault though. I'm also taking up the role of agent, which means I will be managing communications between the committee and your dear musicians. I myself play bass (makes that sound that makes your head bop), with about 8 years of experience under my belt. I play pretty much all types of rock (classic, punk, metal, alt, post, etc.), but I listen to many more genres.

Treasurer

Hi all, I am Raoul. After a year-long hiatus I am back as treasurer of the BMN this year. I will be in charge of planning how to spend our money and making sure we stick to that plan as much as possible. Besides handling the funds, I like to play music, duh. I will be playing drums and guitar at the BMN this year, though I’m working on my bass game as well. I also like to occupy myself with my study. I’ve finished a double bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics and am currently in my final year of a bachelor’s in computer science. See you at the BMN!

PR Manager

Hello there! I’m Wessel. I’m a second year GameTech student here in Utrecht. This is also my second year at the BMN, after being the setlist manager in my first year. This year, I’ll be the PR Manager. I’ll make sure everyone hears about the BMN! I’ll also be responsible for designing the shirts, stickers, and whatever else we come up with. At the BMN last year, I mainly played guitar, which I’ve been doing for four years already. I’ve also played a bit of piano and done some backing vocals. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, but I mostly gravitate toward rock, blues, and the occasional bit of metal or jazz. I hope to see all of you at BMN 2026!
