Annual Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival (ages 15-29)
April 3 – May 11
The Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival is in its 97th year and it requires many volunteers. The Festival takes place from April 3rd to May 11th with adjudicated sessions and Highlights Concerts in several venues around the city. Adjudicated sessions will take place during morning, afternoon and some evenings. There will be performances in Dance, Vocal and Instrumental disciplines and the performers range from Elementary School age, through the teens, to some adults.
Do you have the time or are you interested in either cashiering or acting as an adjudicator’s assistant?
Please help us with this important opportunity for our local music students to showcase their talents and possibly gain the chance to compete in the 2024 Provincial or National Festivals. There are some sections that could use a small group of volunteers (probably 4 or 5) to help with the Choral, Band, Orchestra, or School Dance sections. These require volunteers to usher performers to the stage from warmup rooms, as well as act as Cashiers and an Adjudicator’s Secretary. WThere are opportunities for single volunteers for cash and Secretary at sessions involving solo performers in Instrumental, Voice and Studio Dance. Studio Dance volunteers need to have a criminal record check to work backstage.
Sessions take place in morning, afternoon or evening, weekdays and weekends, depending on how many participants have registered and whether they are junior or senior levels.
Do you want to volunteer individually? Please contact Liz Willis, Unit 8, by phone at 250-385-6860 or by email at howard.liz@shaw.ca.
