Here’s an overview of the tasks that need to be done to make the festival a success. Thank you for considering sharing your time with us while enjoying the festival! Remember the Festival dates for 2016 are July 28-31!

 

1. Bridge Square Emcees: Announce each band. Announce about programs, surveys, donations, and pins. Facilitate collection of donations and pledge cards. Supervise/host this site for this concert. (12, 45-minute shifts throughout the day – one for each band)

2. Bridge Square Setup: Set up equipment, barriers, chairs, signs, etc. (6 spots, 8-9am)

3. Bridge Square Stage Assistants: Help bands with any setup needs. (many spots, 2-4 per band, throughout the day)
