BLUE RIDGE MUSIC CENTER SEEKS VOLUNTEERS

The Blue Ridge Music Center is looking for friendly music enthusiasts to join our team of volunteers who help with Music Center events. Volunteers are needed for the Saturday evening summer outdoor concert series held at the Music Center as well as Sunday afternoon Milepost Music concerts at Mabry Mill and Doughton Park.

Volunteers for the Saturday evening Deep Roots, Many Voices concert series at the Blue Ridge Music Center sell tickets and track attendance, hand out wristbands, sell and track merchandise sales, and assist with parking. The concerts are held on Saturday evenings, Memorial Day through Labor Day, and feature the best of regional and national bluegrass, old-time, and other American roots-based and Americana music on a beautiful outdoor amphitheater stage. The Music Center is located at milepost 213, on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Galax.

There will be a pre-season volunteer orientation meeting on May 10. Please contact Marianne at 866-308-2773, ext 212, or [email protected] to sign up and receive meeting details.

Milepost Music concerts are held on Sunday afternoons, alternating between Mabry Mill (milepost 176 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, near Meadows of Dan, Virginia) and Doughton Park/The Bluffs (milepost 241, near Laurel Springs and Sparta, North Carolina). Volunteers help set up and take down tents and sound equipment, and help staff the information booth. If you are interested in volunteering at either of these locations, contact Marianne at 866-308-2773, ext 212, or [email protected] for details.
