Be A Volunteer-Terms & Conditions

Here are a few points in addition to our Terms & Conditions that will hopefully make you more comfortable as a volunteer and help us all succeed. If you have questions, never hesitate email me, Je rry Campbell, Tom Davis or Amanda Torres or any Board Member of the Trinidaddio Blues Fest – Volunteer Application may be downloaded at the bottom of this page – Here we go:

This is a “daddio” event! We may define daddio as “cool, under control, smooth sailing”. We want everyone who attends to have a great time…including you! There should never be a time when you are called on to be anything other than nice to a patron. If there are unruly folks infringing on the person next to them having a good time too…please alert your “lead” person who will contact security or…if there is a security person nearby…please alert them immediately.

Being a ‘Blues Crew’ member, people in the crowd may look to you for assistance- please assist them with a smile!

Volunteer levels and benefits…

6- 8 Hours- Tee shirt, Saturday pass and Meal during the fest.
12+ Tee shirt, Pre-Fest Pass, Saturday Pass, Meal during the fest.
All volunteers will be invited to a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner announced after the fest.

Know your lead person and acquaint yourself with your area to know where you would turn for help if you need it. Amanda Torres is the Volunteer Liaison along with help from Tom Davis; so if you have any problem, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please submit your photo for your ID pass no later than August 1^st in order to create your ID Badge. Email to: Jerry Campbell. If you’ve emailed Jerry in the past with your photo, you do not need to repeat this process; a badge will be made for you. However, Jerry may contact you if another picture is needed for any reason.

Please be at LEAST 15 minutes early for your shift to ensure a smooth transition. If you’re working the 1^st shift – morning, you MUST be on site by 10am. Check-In Volunteer Booth is located at the back entrance to the park accessible from the Smith Ave Entrance. You will receive your volunteer shirt and photo ID badge.

Please empty one 55-gallon trashcan into the large dumpsters and replace the liner at the end of your shift.

EVERYONE should have a Fest bracelet, a Photo ID or the "Trinidaddio" stamp. If you see people in the fest without these…alert them that they need to go to the entrance to pay and escort them to the front gate. You can always contact your lead or use the walkie-talkie at your station to ask security to do this.

If you are serving alcohol…ONLY people with drinking friendly wristbands can be served. Even if they are clearly over 21, you need to refer them back to the ID Check Booth where they show their ID and get the proper wristband. During your shift you MUST be sober – please be aware, you represent the Trinidaddio Blues Fest and should conduct yourself accordingly. Any Volunteer seen drinking during their shift or that becomes intoxicated will be escorted from the Fest, and barred from future volunteer efforts with the Trinidaddio Blues Fest. This is not just Blues Fest policy, but also city ordinance for special events. Trinidad Police Department is in charge of Fest security, and will enforce all regulations.

VIP Wait Staff: You will have your own cocktail jockey booth, and will be serving the back stage and VIP Seating Tents. We will be on a cash basis (no tokens accepted) and each wait staff person will be given a $50 bank, which MUST be turned into the bar at the end of your shift. You will pay your bartender for the drinks ordered before they’re given to you; extra pens/pads will be provided should you need additional supplies.

Ticket takers: Anyone can upgrade from a $25 General Admission ticket to a $45 VIP ticket by paying the difference…for example…4 $25 tickets can be exchanged for 3 $45 tickets plus $35, or (2 $45 tickets, but there are no refunds). People can come back with only a "Trinidaddio" stamp, indicating they are a General Admission attendee, and pay $20 and get a wristband for the VIP seating. See me with questions here.

Thank you all so much for your help…we cannot do this thing without you! Have a great “Daddio” time!
