Boxcar/Pages Prom! Volunteer help needed!

by ghing

Save the date for Bloomington's best party and Pages' biggest fundraiser of the year, the Rock N' Roll Prom!  This year, it will be on April, 18.

A lot of help is needed both the night of the prom and getting ready for it.  Here is a rundown of some of the things that need volunteer help:


prom help! these things will be on the sign-up bulletin board at boxcar soon.

decorating committee!
sign up at the bookstore soon to help plan, shop for, and create decorations during some upcoming decoration making nights at the bookstore.  we need a lot of input during these nights--please come once they're set, or come in on off times to add/contribute!

decorating-day of
also, sign up for decorating the day of prom, and for clean-up the day after prom.  large attendance at both of these is necessary!

party favor research!
research cheapest possible prices for customized writing on pens and pencils, cheap pocket protectors, cheapo nerd glasses, and other nerd related items.

timekeeper!
we need a responsible, not drunk, prompt person to keep everything on schedule during the prom. you should know most people in bands, mc's, dj's rollergirls, etc--just so you know who to yell at to be on stage or ready at a certain time.

publicity!
we need people to help flyer when the time comes- poster/flyer deadline march 18th.

pages facebook and myspace postings!
need someone with access to publicize through pages digital thingys.

photobooth sign-up! 11pm-2am
$1 per person, per session

photobooth flyers!
need someone to make 1/6 sheet flyers to pass out at the photobooth, explaining to the drunk people where they can view their photobooth pictures online after the prom.

bakdoor attendants!
we're thinking of having some backdoor attendance because of all the people who snuck in previous years. i'm emailing dave from the bluebird to see what he things/ if he might be able to put a bluebird staff person on the back door, and/or if it would be worth using wristbands for people that have paid.  but we might have a sign-up for backdoor-cop watching in the future.

let me know if you have any questions or concerns or if i'm overlooking things!

thank you!
