Get On Stage For Festival International – AOC Needs Production Crew

AOC Community Media is once again televising performances live from Festival International’s main stage on April 25-29 and is looking for volunteers to help.

For the past 26 years of Festival International, AOC has depended on volunteers to bring the festival experience to those watching on AOC’s two television channels (Cox Communications 15 and 16 and LUS Fiber’s 3 and 4). Without volunteers, AOC would not be able to go live from, record or share some of Acadiana's most memorable live performances.

“As a crew member, you literally will get one of the most coveted views for main-stage performances,” Ed Bowie said. “Anyone can say ‘I was there.’ Only a few can say, ‘I was on stage.’”

Volunteers can serve as camera operators, cable pullers, directors and production assistants. Volunteers can be beginners to experts or anywhere in between. AOC will hold a mandatory volunteer training meeting on Thursday, April 12, at 6:30 p.m. at AOC. Volunteers are also encouraged to attend a practice session on Friday, April 20, at Downtown Alive at Parc International.

Volunteers must be current AOC members. Annual memberships range from $25-$35. Individuals can join AOC or renew their memberships at www.aocinc.org.
