VOLUNTEERING

VOLUNTEERING

 

Planning and executing a 10-day festival with over 300 entries and 800 participants from around the Peace Region requires a great deal of time and effort, all of which is done by volunteers.  Please consider becoming part of our team!  Phone or email us for more information.

 

If you are unable to attend monthly meetings, maybe you can spare some time in the weeks leading up to the Festival or during the adjudicated sessions.  In the spring, we'll ask you to click on the button below to sign up:

 

DURING FESTIVAL

During the Festival, we require four volunteers for each session.

 

The venue host ensures that all of the volunteers have their supplies, informs the adjudicator secretary of any program changes and is available to answer questions throughout the event.

 

The door marshal is the first person people encounter when they enter the venue. He/she sells Festival programs and makes sure no one enters the hall during a performance or adjudication.

 

The music marshal checks in performers as they enter the hall and collects their music which is brought to the adjudicator.

 

The adjudicator’s secretary announces the performers, helps record results, affixes seals to the certificates, and chauffeurs the adjudicator to his/her hotel if necessary.  

 

All of these positions are overseen by a Venue Coordinator who officially opens and closes each session and keeps track of any changes to the program.

At the end of Festival, we hold a Grand Concert in Peace River. This event requires ushers, ticket sellers, door greeters, and “runners” who help with awards photos, as well as several other miscellaneous jobs.

We cannot thank our volunteers enough for all their work and dedication. Without them, there would be no festival.
