And NOW volunteers!!!! lol A list of opportunities............
It is very important to fill out a WorldWideBluegrass Volunteer Application to be included in this year's Volunteer Schedule! Potential GrassStock Volunteers: We have made a few changes to the volunteer process. We have designed a Volunteer Application better suited to everyone’s specific needs. This application and brief descriptions of each position can be found below. Please be advised, although we work to give everyone the shifts and teams they have requested, there will be times in which not everyone will receive what they have asked for. Flexibility is an important part of volunteering. We thank you for understanding. Hours and shifts are a first come, first served basis. The earlier you submit you’re application, the more likely you are to receive your first, second or third choice. Please be specific, and contact the Volunteer Coordinator if your information or availability has changed prior to the festival. We hope our procedure will make things easier to our volunteers. Thank You for your interest, we look forward to working with you. If you have any questions, please email the temporary Volunteer Coordinator’s at, onbg@sbcglobal.net. Old National Bluegrass! GrassStock Event Producers So What, Exactly, Does Volunteering involve? Most volunteer Jobs require some degree of physical activity. Whether it is standing, walking, lifting or other types of exertion, be prepared for some motion, and respect your own limitations. We all work hard, but we want your experience to be a positive one! Plan to be out in the elements during your time with us. Some work areas are tented, but many require protection from the sun and/or rain. It can get chilly at night, or fairly hot, so come prepared with gear for all types of weather. You’ll be glad you did! Finally be aware of your time limitations… if you are thinking of volunteering for our Annual Fund Raiser Festival, it would be helpful to know what is expected beforehand. Generally, each volunteer is expected top work at least 3 hours; however some crews work on a different schedule, depending on the mission or task. Below is a short description of each crew and what is expected of our volunteers
GS Fund Raising Crew WWB Mart:
The WWB Mart is located adjacent to the main event area. Volunteers will sell t-shirts and festival souvenirs. This position involves working with cash register, making change, organizing t-shirts and Festival merchandise, and tracking silent auction items. What is enjoyable about working the “WWB Mart”, is getting to work with patrons and the stage show during your shift. 50/50 Crew The 50/50 crew (may work in conjunction with the Donations Crew…) is responsible for scheduled “rounds” of the selling of tickets to be drawn, at scheduled appropreate times, in which the ticket holder of the drawn ticket will receive 50% of the collected funds. This duty should occur, at least, twice daily.
Donations Crew
The Donations Crew (may work in conjunction with the 50/50 Crew…) is responsible for scheduled “rounds” through the festival grounds, seeking donations of funds or product (to be auctioned of…) to financially benefit the WWB.
GS Traffic and Safety Crew The Traffic and Safety Crew is made up of volunteers assisting in safe traffic flow, assisting day visitors park their cars and campers and assist our handicapped campers and guests. They, also, ensure general safety throughout the festival campground. This job will entail working in the sun and being on your feet. They also serve as the “Eyes and Ears” for festival security. Most of the crew works on foot, but there is a Mountain Bike Patrol being formed. T&S operates 24 hours, so a night schedule is available. T&S begins the night before the festival, so volunteers should arrive in planty of time for check in assignments! Minimum age is 18 for this crew. GS Environmental Crew The Environmental Crew volunteers will be in charge of keeping the festival grounds clean, at all times. The environmental team makes several trips per day empting garbage cans into the back of the designated refuse vehicle and rounds through the campground. The trash is collected and disposed of into a central refuse receptacle. Environmental volunteers are NOT expected to work ALL shifts every day! The Environmental Crew should be available for a final pick up round Sunday morning! GS Hospitality Crew The Hospitality Crew works with artists needs, involves assistance in transporting produce to the designated “Artist Area” and keeping the back stage area neat and clean, as well as providing drinks for artists performing (if needed). A benefit of this position is being able to hear the stage shows and meeting the performers. GS Street Team Crew
The Street Team Crew is needed PRE-FEST!!! This crew will assist the Advertising Chair Person by attending festivals, events and concerts and advertising GrassStock by handing out fliers and talking to many people about the up coming GrassStock event. A great personality is a MUST for this crew!
GS Stage Crew The Stage Crew is involved in working backstage involves keeping the area neat and clean, and keeping drink coolers full for artists performing. The “may” be asked to assist the sound company in stage plot changing, between sets etc…. A benefit to this crew is meeting the performers and seeing the shows “Back Stage”. Some MC's are needed also.. GS KidGrass Crew
The “KidGrass Crew” assist’s the Youth in Bluegrass Chairperson with kids' activities. Prepare craft materials. Volunteers must enjoy working with young people. Teaching, supervisory, or recreational experience with children (patience… lol) is a plus. Adults should expect some evening hours, for the movie night especially. GS Support Crew The GrassStock Support Crew are volunteers that are “On Call” to be available to work any position, as needed. This requires flexibility on the part of the volunteer. Needs, deemed necessary of the Event Producer or Volunteer Coordinator, will be assigned to this crew. GS Tech Crew Media Crew Photographs or shoots video of all aspects of the festival both day and night, from the main stage and images around the festival; of vendors, sponsors, volunteers and staff workers, providing a broad range of images and/or videos from every day of the festival, from Wednesday through Sunday. Members of the Media Crew will submit best-of sets of photos and videos according to GrassStock guidelines for use in print and on the web site. All images are expected to be in digital format. Internet Technology Crew Responsible for creating the network needed to broadcast live performances from GrassStock, as well as regular shows from WWB I-DJ’s. Wireless transmission of the internet and transmission of the audio signal to the mobile broadcast facility is desired. Must understand the terrain of the farm and technical aspects of the WWB Operation while at GrassStock. GS Emergency Services Crew Specialized Crew provides Advanced Medical services, including preventative medicine to all persons at the festival. Applicants must have medical backgrounds, from First Responders to Physician and must have Ohio State Licensure. All applicants must be interviewed by the EMS Director. EMT's are the most needed on this crew, licensed in the state of Ohio. GrassStock Volunteer Coordinator
The GrassStock Executive Committee is currently seeking a qualified individual to become the Volunteer Chairperson. This person would be responsible for the staffing of the various committees, as well as assisting the chairpersons of the other committees in the fulfillment of volunteer needs, specific to the different individual committee needs. Must have experience in festival volunteer programs and an appreciation of what the WWB does.
GrassStock Chairpersons Do you see an area above that you feel can head up? Are you a  “Team Player”, with a great imagination? Do you think you can ADD to the spirit of GrassStock? If so, you may want to apply to chair a committee! We have Fund Raising, Entertainment, KidGrass, and other sub committee’s such as Workshop Development, Donation Acquisition, Sponsorship Development and others. Interested? Contact Tim Cahall at onbg@sbcglobal.net to discuss possibilities!
It is necessary to fill out a 2009 Volunteer Application to be included in the Volunteer Schedule! All Volunteers, new or returning, MUST submit an Application each year! __________________ [url=null]www.grassstock.com[/url]
