Volunteering is a way to make the BOTMC your own festival, and you'll get in free to one of the concerts at the Freight.

Here's how it works:

  • If you volunteer for one of the ticketed events, you get into that event free.

  • If you volunteer at a free event, or volunteer for a job that takes place before or after the festival, you get free admission to either the Thurs. or Fri. night concert at the Freight.

  • If you do two volunteer jobs, you can get in free to both Freight concerts.

Jobs include but are not limited to

  • Driving performers (including airport pickup/dropoff)

  • Jam Support

  • Event set up (some lifting required)

  • Event break-down/clean up (some lifting required)

  • Contest - Band Registrar

  • Instrument check (some lifting required)

  • Merch sales (some lifting required)

  • Workshop Greeter

  • Chair transportation Support (vehicle needed, some lifting required)

We're using SignUp to organize our upcoming events.

Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
1) Visit our page at
signup.com
2) Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) you like.
3) Sign up! It's Easy - you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.

Note: SignUp does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address or have any questions, send an email to Lael, our Volunteer Coordinator, at Volunteer@BerkeleyOldTimeMusic.org, who will sign you up manually.
