Facilities Crew
The Facilities Crew is responsible for the upkeep and cleaning of the Festival's residences, concert halls, music studios, practice rooms, and offices. We are looking for individuals who are dependable, task oriented, and comfortable working on their own, as well as in small groups. Flexible hours.
Full-time and part-time workers needed May through August. Workers can begin as early as May, or if you're interested, but aren't available until June or July, let us know! There is some schedule flexibility.
Concert Parking Attendants
Parking Attendants ("Parkers") direct concertgoers to form organized rows in the parking field beside the concert hall — the Music Shed. Being the first staff patrons come across at the concerts, parkers often answer general questions as well. (Where are the restrooms? Where is the box office?)
Parkers are needed Friday and Saturday evenings beginning July 5 through August 17. We are looking for individuals who are friendly, dependable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
Concessions Staff
The Concessions Staff is responsible for organizing the concessions booth prior to concerts (making coffee, stocking the refrigerator etc.) selling concessions at intermission and cleaning up afterwards. They also inventory supplies to keep track of what is needed prior to the next concert.
Concessions Staff are needed Friday and Saturday evenings beginning July through August 10. We are looking for individuals who are friendly, dependable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
