Volunteer Application Great Blue Heron Music Festival 2024

Volunteers are the heartbeat of The Heron and we are appreciative that you are willing to earn a weekend pass by contributing your time and energy! Here’s how our volunteer process works: • Fill out an application and choose the crew you’d like to work with • We’ll email to let you know that you’ve been accepted • We’ll communicate again when your schedule is ready • You’ll be emailed a volunteer weekend ticket • Arrive at the gate to get your wristband • Check in 15 minutes before your shifts with your crew chiefs • Work your shifts and enjoy yourself! • We’ll return your deposit after the event if one was required Here’s what the hour requirements are: • 9 hours during the festival for your weekend pass • Or 12 hours of spring work, pre fest • Setup crew works every day, all day, once you arrive on site • Volunteers can check-in anytime Thursday 2 – 9pm or on Friday anytime after 9am. You will be notified ahead of time if you are granted early access. • Meals or vehicle camping stickers are NOT included, UNLESS you are scheduled for extra hours, take a leadership position, and are granted these extras from volunteer coordination. • Crew Choice: You'll be permitted to apply for ONE crew. If that crew fills up or spots are no longer available, a member of our Volunteer Coordination team will send you a message to help you select another crew. Crews are not necessarily on a first come first serve basis, crews fill up quickly and the VC team tries to make sure volunteers are in positions they are best suited for and where they are needed most! • Returning Volunteers: Please login with your previous credentials and fill out the new application for 2024. Please understand that many aspects of the festival may be different than in the past and our coordination team is still new at this. They will be doing their best to find the best placement and schedule for you. • New Volunteers: Fill out your application and be ready to submit a deposit of $110. This is required for anyone volunteering for their first year. You will be e-mailed an invoice for the deposit after your application is approved by our coordination team

By submitting this application, you are agreeing to work the shifts agreed upon. Any no-call no-show's will potentially be terminated from the volunteer system and/or asked to leave the grounds.
