Service Learning Post #3 - Zac Byrd
For my 3rd volunteering experience with the Lexington Philharmonic I volunteered at the Philharmonic's concert with the guest artist time for three. Time for three is a orchestral trio that plays a variety of genres and is a very versatile group. For the last concert I volunteered at, Amanda Tallant had me helping with will call and with the set clean up after the concert. This time Amanda told me I would be helping people through the handicap entrance, guarding instruments, and being a bouncer.
Singultary has two entrances, one for everybody and one in the back for handicap/elderly individuals. I had to open the doors for the patrons coming through because the buttons that open the doors can be hard to find. I also had to make sure I helped them over the bump where the entrance was to prevent any major injuries.
After the concert started and the amount of concertgoers coming into the venue ceased I went in to guard the instruments. During the last concert a wallet or purse was stolen from a performer's case. For the performers to feel safe leaving their instruments in the rehearsal room me and Olivia had to watch over the instruments, which was a lot less
strenuous than it sounds.
When the concert came to a conclusion I went out to the lobby to be a bouncer. Time for three was going to be outside signing CD's and taking pictures with people, and to make sure no crazy super-fans attack the artists. I was behind the desk unwrapping CD's and making sure nothing bad happened to the performers. I got to talk to them and they told me how much fun the concert was and we took a picture, but my phone broke so I don't have the picture. This was my last time volunteering with the Philharmonic as part of this CIS class but I hope to continue this in the future.
