When registering to volunteer, you will sign up as either a pre-show or during-show volunteer. You will also indicate preference for your “C’roo”, which is your team within the C’roo program that dictates what type of shifts you’ll be scheduled for. You’ll receive your C’roo assignment within 1 week of signing up to volunteer!
PRE-SHOW: Must be able to check-in on site on Sunday June 12. All of your shifts will be before the festival begins Thursday afternoon, leaving you free to enjoy the show! Pre-show C’roos are only available to returning volunteers and are extremely limited in number of positions. Your best bet if you are returning volunteer and want one of these positions will be to get your application in as soon as you receive an email inviting you to register.
DURING SHOW: Must be able to come on site 24 hours before their first shift, or no later than Wednesday, June 15 at 6:00 PM. Can come on-site as early as Sunday, June 12.
