Volunteering Options at Events this Summer

got this email from Shimon Presents. My all time favorite publicity people.

GREETINGS With Summer right around the corner, we have teamed up with some stellar music festivals to bring you more variety, more rewards, and more music. This summer our Work Exchange Team, or onsite volunteer program, is currently scheduled to be at Wakarusa, Rothbury, All Good, and the Virginia Wine Festival. You can also sign up to work StreetShimon , our pre-festival marketing team where you can take part in our traditional Guerrilla Street Teams and hand out flyers and put up posters, as well as with our Online Street Teams helping get the word out on the web. Sign up now to help promote DelFest, Mountain Jam, Wakarusa, Floyd Fandango Beer and Wine Festival, All Good, FloydFest, and Gathering of the Vibes. Whatever way you choose to participate, you can earn your free ticket! Jump on board for just one of these fests, or hop on the festival express and hit up multiple events this summer. StreetShimon NEWS Summer 2009 will no doubt go down in musical history, with legendary artists such as The Dead and Phish touring while music festivals --which are shooting up like wildflowers across the country-bring an ever-eclectic range of artists young and old to the stage. With Music Festival tickets costing upwards of $250, how, with the economy heading into the gutter, can anyone afford to catch even a glimpse of the more than 15 major music festivals spread across the country? StreetShimon has been connecting music enthusiasts with free and discounted tickets to music events for years, and has grown into a large community of people who work to see the music they love succeed. Without the active participation of the StreetShimon community, the music we all live for would forever be out of our reach. Join StreetShimon and you can earn such rewards as weekend passes to festivals, discounted festival tickets, tickets to local shows and events, and festival merchandise. Let your love of music earn your spot at the stage!

WORK EXCHANGE TEAM NEWS: Sign up for the Work Exchange Team (WET) at the festivals you want to attend this summer, and work in exchange for your ticket! WET members work in fun and exciting departments such as Front Gate, Site Opps, Catering, Hospitality, VIP, and much much more. This is a great way to go to several festivals this summer and save your cash for the gas! Have you ever been behind the scenes at a major event? If you have, you'll know it's a world unlike any other. Meet people from all around the country that share your love for live music, and gain invaluable experience in the music industry while you earn your festival ticket! It's a great way to network and build lasting relationships with like-minded music enthusiasts, and can even lead to future industry careers. Be sure to stop by workexchangeteam.com and sign up to work this summer!
