2) PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR
REDUCED ADMISSION!
Beyond the jobs listed below, please do not ask for
discounted admission. I get charged by the site for every person who shows up, whether they pay
the full price or have free admission. Costs have increased over the years, and I also have to figure
in the cost of portapotties and other supplies for *everyone* who shows up.
3) PLAN AHEAD AND PAY
AHEAD!
Plan ahead and pay ahead. The cost, if you pay before
February 1, is $30. That's for 4 days of camping, workshops, rituals, etc. That's $7.50 a day.
That's darn cheap! True, if you wait till later, you'll pay more. (The price is cheaper in the
beginning to encourage more folks to pay early, so I'll actually have some $$ to pay for printing,
postage, site deposit, and other up-front expenses, which usually total about $1000. The price
gets steeper to discourage people from waiting till the last minute!) And if you find you can't
make it, you can get a refund (see Refund Policy below).
Pre-Payment: To receive the current (cheap) price, all registrations
must be accompanied by payment. Pre-payment is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED (it helps me to
pay for expenses, postage, printing, site fee deposit, toilet paper, etc.).
Gate Payments: All payments at the gate MUST BE CASH OR MONEY
ORDER, and will be the full price of $80, regardless of when you register! NO CHECKS AT
THE GATE!
Deadlines: Please register by May 4, 2012 (if by mail) or May 8 (if
by PayPal), so I have time to send you the Confirmation Flyer and add you to the gate list. To
reiterate: If you plan to pay at the gate, you MUST email me your registration info (full name,
address, phone, email, medical problems, kids attending, etc.) ahead of time, so I can place you on
the gate list.
Refund Policy: If you can't make it to Moondance, you may call or email to
request a refund (they won't be issued automatically). Refunds will be given in full until April 27,
at a 50% rate until the Tuesday night before the festival (May 8); no refunds (or switching your
admission to a later festival) if I'm notified after that time or if you just don't show up. If you
decide to send someone else in your place, please let me know beforehand, so I can add them to
the gate list and remove your name.
There are 8 volunteer jobs that come with discounted admission. These jobs are BY APPLICATION ONLY, not "first-come-first-served." If you have been granted a job in the past and did not do your job well (or even worse, didn't show up at all), you are not eligible for any other volunteer jobs at any point in the future. On the other hand, if you've done one of these jobs in the past and done it well, you stand a good chance of being granted one again.
**IMPORTANT: All volunteers (unless I already know you personally and *know* that I can count on you absolutely) will be required to pay for their admission in full by April 27 (remember that admission rates are dependent upon when they are paid); once your job is completed at the end of the festival, your admission minus the discount will be refunded to you. This is to help cut down on the number of people who sign up for a job and then don't show up for the festival.
Applicants will be chosen on the basis of 1) dependability and 2) financial need. (Note: If you are vending, and therefore profiting from the festival, you do not qualify for discounted admission.) On all jobs, you must make your commitment to the job well ahead of time, be on-site during the entire time required for your job, stay in touch with us so we know we can count on you, and above all, show up and do your job and be where we can find you during the festival.
To apply for any of these positions, please fill out the Volunteer Application Form.
(If you are applying for a volunteer job, you should still fill out the Registration Form just so we'll have all your information.)
(1) Herald/Parking (2 people, $25 admission each): While we have heralds in two-hour shifts during the festival, it's nice to have a couple of "lead heralds" who are in constant contact with the staff, who can make spur-of-the-moment announcements. These people will also act as fill-in for parking patrol as needed, take care of odd jobs, help find volunteers for gate duty when shifts are not filled or volunteers don't show up, and just generally be "minions". HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 8 hours of work during the festival. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday afternoon, and stay through noon on Monday.
(2) Security: (2 people, $20 admission each) We need two people (male or female) to act as security during the festival. This person must be able to handle confrontations calmly and in a non-emotional manner, and be able to defuse a situation rather than escalate it. Physical strength is not a requirement, but a calm, level head is. All security staff must be available, awake, and sober at all times while on shift. HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 12 hours of work during the festival. At least one overnight shift is required. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday afternoon, and stay through noon on Sunday.
(3) Gate Crew: (4 people, $25 admission each) We need a few good, trustworthy, reliable, self-motivating people to act as gate crew during the weekend. While we will still have attendees signing up for regular 2-hour shifts, the Gate Crew will staff the gate during the wee hours (midnight-8 am) when regular volunteers tend to not sign up or flake out; during peak hours Friday and Saturday to help with the influx (shift lengths to be determined); and also be available at a moment's notice to take over shifts when regular volunteers don't show up. HOURS REQUIRED: This job entails about 8 hours of work during the festival. At least one overnight shift is required. ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE: The people who are approved for this job MUST arrive by Thursday at noon, and stay through midnight Saturday (when the gate closes).
