Volunteering at Red Rocks is an excellent opportunity to raise funds for your home band program. After covering all expenses of the championships, a portion of the revenues are distributed back to each participating program based on the number of volunteer hours contributed by parents and fans. When you create your volunteer account, just make sure to note the school that you would like your hours credited to.
ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD
If you happen to sign up for a shift that overlaps your band's performance time, we will make sure you are able to step away from your assignment so you can watch your band. A Volunteer Viewing area will be accessible by going to the elevator by the ticket booth in the west stands. This viewing area is available to volunteers only and you must be wearing your badge.
PLEASE NOTE: TO SIGN UP FOR A SHIFT, EACH VOLUNTEER WILL NEED TO CREATE THEIR OWN USER ACCOUNT USING A UNIQUE PHONE NUMBER. FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW TO ACCESS THE VOLUNTEER SIGNUP SYSTEM.
For those volunteering, all information about your specific scheduled shift (location, description) can be found by logging in to the volunteer signup website again, please see the link above. You will receive additional information when you arrive to check-in.
Please make sure to arrive at the University at least 30 minutes before the start time of your shift allowing you time to park, check-in, and then walk to your assigned volunteer location. Following is a map of the venue, note the volunteer check-in and parking in pink. This parking lot does fill up quickly so be prepared to park on the streets around the university if this parking lot is full.
The Red Rocks competition is organized by a Committee that includes individuals from a variety of experiences and band programs.
