VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Do you know anyone who would like to volunteer and gain a unique perspective on the Eisteddfod's excitement?
Please look at the programs on our website for times and dates. Each session is 4 hours long and requires volunteers to arrive 1/2 before the start time.
Join forces with your family and friends. We urge you to collaborate during your free time, taking on roles such as backstage manager and helper or improv room manager and assistant. Your contribution is crucial to the event's success.
Impro Room Manager: 18+: Your primary responsibilities will include checking off competitors as you put them into lockdown and ensuring that their attire complies with the rules outlined in our syllabus, which is available on our website.
Impro Room Assistant 12+: You assist the improv room manager. This position is ideal for dancers with a strong understanding of improvisation and its associated rules.
Backstage Manager 18+: Liaise and communicate with check-in and the music player via headset to ensure the smooth running of the production. They oversee everything and everyone backstage, ensuring rules are followed and everyone respects the performers on stage. They also ensure no interference occurs, so they keep an eye on the stage for any disputes and organise the removal of obstructions when necessary.
Backstage Helper 10yrs+: Assist the backstage manager as required and hand out trophies on stage when needed.
Announcer 16yrs+: Use the microphone to announce section names and competitor numbers from behind the scenes.

• Playing music from our user-friendly computer-based music program.
• Operating a number board and the existing soundboard to control and adjust volume.
• Turning on the lights when necessary.
Requirements: All volunteers must have a valid 'working with children check' and a fun-loving attitude. This check is a legal requirement to ensure the safety of our young participants and is a standard procedure for anyone working with children in Australia.
Everyone is welcome - Teachers ,parents ,cares ,work placement students or interested public for copy of the roster with available positions, send an Email with your availability to pmdes-dance@live.com.au and add the subject "Volunteer," This should stop them from going to the junk folder :)
