Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Festival
March 8th and 9th
Issaquah Middle School.
The Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Festival is the largest music festival of the year!
We have several important roles that still need to be filled. One example is that of Room Monitor. For 18 rooms, we need 36 people (18 for the morning shift, and 18 for the afternoon shift).
Being a room monitor is fun! You get to listen to the performances and see the judges working with the students. All you have to do is watch the clock every ten minutes - opening the door to let new people in and closing it when a performance is ready to begin.
Please go to the Sign Up Genius link to see all of these job openings, and any others that are still available for both students and parents.
