For those of you new to the Festival, here is a brief overview for each volunteer position.
Box Office
Sets up the Welcome and check in area.
Checks in all participants as they arrive.
When the class has all arrived, lets the Secretary know and closes the door to the auditorium.
Controls the door – anyone can come out but no one can go in unless you say so. No one enters if a participant is playing or the adjudicator is speaking.
Training is done for all volunteers.
Secretary
Works with the adjudicator.
Makes sure all the papers needed for the day are there and that the adjudicator has signed everything needed.
When the box office tells you all the participants have arrived, introduce yourself, welcome everyone, review the rules and then introduce the Adjudicator. (You will have a script to read from.)
Be sure the certificates and papers that need the adjudicator’s attention are dealt with.
Stage Hand
Will help with set up and take down of equipment, tables, chairs and music stands where needed.
Stagehands will work in pairs of two volunteers.
No heavy lifting and limited stairs.
When choosing your shifts, the time shown is the start time, the end time will be determined by the task at hand.
