The Southend Festival of Performing Arts is a competition held annually during the last two weeks in November. The festival consists of 5 sections; Speech & Drama, Singing, Piano, Woodwind & Brass and Strings. Throughout the festival we will require a number of volunteers to help ensure its smooth running.
Roles include:-
• Reception – welcoming competitors and checks them in
• Tickets – sells admission tickets and programmes
• Refreshments – sells hot/cold drinks and snacks
• Door – controls entry seating and exit of attendees
• Numbers – announces classes and competitors and displays their numbers
• Adjudicators Clerk – assists the adjudicator with paperwork, procedure, timing of classes, records marks
• Recorder – logs marks in official Programme, prepares certificates for presentation to competitors
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys teamwork and working within the vibrant music and performing arts community of Southend.
Commitment during the festival is very flexible and can range from a few hours to the whole fortnight, depending on how much time the volunteer can give.
