**Please hold hands with us whenever you can…**

As we are beginning to grow with new members joining us in special events and performances, we find our group needing a bit of outside assistance with various tasks. We list the most crucial tasks below in hopes to find several willing “friends” to come forth and help out from time to time. This is our initial list, which is a work-in-progress. If we think of more tasks to list, we will add them immediately.

selling tickets – when there are tickets or donations being sold/accepted at the door

ushering – when a concert may be in need of someone helping people to their seats or we need people passing out programs when people enter a venue

selling ads – at times when we need to defer costs in printing up programs

sewing – whenever we might need a hand with designing or repairing costumes

construction – if ever we need special sets or props in the future

sharing social media posts – online from your phone or computer

assisting with transportation and/or shifting large items to and from concerts

running – we may need runners to help with behind-the-scenes moments in future concerts

mailing – if we are finding ourselves in need of stuffing envelopes and making trips to the post office

selling – keeping guard over our CD sales or anything else that we might sell in the future

handling concessions – either for free receptions or in the case that we would ever have a cash bar that is not handled by a venue

making phone calls

manning lighting and/or sound – for future productions where one or both may be necessary

research – we tend to do a lot of research about composers, music, history, fashion, architecture, and even food & beverages to compliment our performances

special projects – we sometimes need simple tasks accomplished like gluing a photo to a display board, as an example
