Back Stage Volunteers – Needed Sat and Sun!

GALA Choruses is looking for trusted volunteers to work closely with choruses backstage at the Festival performance venues. For each 4 to 5 hour shift, you and a couple of other volunteers will be assigned to one venue.

Our “Chorus Guides” volunteers greet choruses at their warm up areas and then escort them to the stage where they will be in the hands of our experienced stage managers. After the performance or rehearsal, you will help choruses find the exit and meet your next chorus.

Detailed schedules will be provided. You are welcome to work as many shifts as you would like and multiple shifts are incredibly helpful for a smooth backstage experience.
