CONTRIBUTE TO THE VENUES THAT WILL BRING PORCHFEST TO LIFE!
PORCHES ARE GREAT, OF COURSE, BUT SO ARE STOOPS OR YARDS, DRIVEWAYS OR GARAGES CLOSER TO THE SIDEWALK. ANYTHING RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER AND ALLOWING FOR A STREET-FACING PERFORMANCE, PRETTY MUCH FITS THE BILL.
WE'VE HAD HOMEOWNERS SET UP FOOD AND DRINK AND OFFER HOSPITALITY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND THE PUBLIC. AWESOME! GET THE WORD OUT TO ALL. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BAND AT YOUR HOUSE!
A SIMPLE PROCESS:
* CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE ON JULY 9 th BETWEEN NOON AND 6PM. HOST A BAND OR TWO, BUT BE SURE TO LEAVE TIME FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.
* FILL OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM BELOW
* GET ASSIGNED TO HOST DURING A 45 MINUTE-LONG SLOT, LEAVING YOU TIME TO WANDER, MINGLE, AND CELEBRATE MUSIC WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS.
HOST REQUIREMENTS:
- GENEROSITY, HOSPITALITY, AND GOOD WILL.
- YOU'RE INVITING GUESTS TO YOUR YARD. PLEASE MAKE SURE IT'S
FREE OF HAZARDS AND LOOKIN' FINE FOR COMPANY!
- CONFIRM YOU LIVE WITHIN THE FESTIVAL BOUNDARIES
- WATCH YOUR EMAIL FOR NOTIFICATIONS AND CONNECT WITH YOUR PERFORMER IN SHORT ORDER AFTER RECEIVING YOUR ASSIGNMENT (ASSIGNMENTS EXPECTED MID JUNE).
- BE AVAILABLE FOR THE DURATION OF YOUR TIMESLOT, HELP AS NECESSARY, ENSURE APPROPRIATE VOLUMES, AND KEEP THE PERFORMANCE TO ITS ASSIGNED TIME.
- OPEN YARD? DO YOU HAVE A CANOPY OR COVER-TENT TO KEEP THE PERFORMER SHADED AND/OR DRY? MUCH APPRECIATED!
- SERVE AS AN ALL-AROUND PERSON IN CHARGE, MAINTAIN GENERAL ORDER IN AND AROUND YOUR YARD, AND ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER OCCURS ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY.
- SEE A PROBLEM, SOLVE A PROBLEM. IN YOUR YARD OR ON THE STREET. IF IT'S TOO BIG, GET SOME ASSISTANCE FROM YOUR FELLOW PORCHFESTERS. Still too big? Contact authorities as you would any other day. We know people will be cool, So lets plan on that!
- PUT OUT A TRASH CAN AND RECYCLE BIN FOR YOUR GUESTS.
- GET THE WORD OUT TO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DROP ON BY YOUR VENUE!
