2010 Volunteer Schedule to be posted May 7th
First of all..........Have Fun! We have tried to design a layered, Tag Team effect. The stage managers aren't in the volunteer schedule that much so that they can fill a spot as needed. We produce the fest with little or no budget and if it weren't for your contributions we could not do so much with so little. Look over the entire volunteer schedule. I may have you down on the wrong day or a day you won't be there and so on. This is the 1st draft from data we have shared and is not set in stone if you need to adjust something. All of the volunteers who have requested to play have been scheduled except for a couple of ole timers that know how to work the schedule and insert themselves into the stages at their choosing. Play schedule conflicts: Check the volunteer schedule against the Play Schedule here when it is posted May 31st. If you are scheduled to play when you are volunteering, usually you can ease away from you volunteer area, go play and come back after making arrangements with your stage group. If you think there will be too much of a conflict getting away. Give us a holler. We will adjust the play schedule for ya. This year we are going back to scheduling 4 writers per hour. Last year we tried to squeeze 5 per hour and the stages ran behind. If you need help in a tight situation, recruit from the audience. You'd be surprised who'd like to jump in and help. That's how we found some of you who now lead the way :) Feel free to discuss anything with me or your stage manager or your gang. Your email links are provided below. Don't abuse them. :) We can figure out and do anything. The show must go on. You will meet people from all over the US and elsewhere. Trade cards, make some new friends. Who knows where the road leads. Their will be Water /beverages and food for volunteers. Coolers at the sound boards. Thirsty? Help yourself. Typical writer food fare will also be available in a couple locations. Hungry? Ask where the writer grub is. Some of us can remember days of no food and water at one time. We're getting better. A lot better! Anything you can think to add to the above let us know. We could use a few more hands Sat and Sun. We will have them filled by fest time. If you see an "open" spot you'd like to do extra we can arrange for that too. Task are fairly simple. The writers run themselves. Some MC's may act as Stage Hands keeping cords straightened out, etc.. You can do it. :) Finally, Change. There may be some slight changes as the fest comes alive and we evolve to meet the demands of the event. Our ability to adapt to change is what make humans and the music business so great.
