PARCC (and Red Hat Amphitheater)
coordinator: Elizabeth Strohm
email:
parcc@athensdriveband.com
Throughout the year, we
provide fill-in staff for concessions at the PARCC – Performing Arts and
Raleigh Convention Center and occasionally, Red Hat Amphitheater. Depending upon the event and location, we
serve concessions, including quick serve items, prepacked items, and
alcohol. For most events at these
venues, workers must be adults. There
may occasionally be events at which
students will be eligible to work. Sign-ups will be handled via email from the Athens Drive Band PAARC
Coordinator.
Individual Band Account Credits
Working for the PARCC credits
your band account $8 per hour worked. Working this venue does not count
toward service credits. Event length
varies and will be posted on the Volunteer Signup for each event.
Positions and Signups
Sign-ups will be handled via email from the Athens
Drive Band PAARC Coordinator. After you request a specific spot, the
coordinator will confirm the spot with Centerplate management. After
confirmation has been received, you will be notified that the spot is
definite.
Workers may be asked to assist with counting money
or inventory, setting up and cleaning up. Most stands/positions are small,
requiring only 1-3 workers during a shift.
Working as fill-ins, we have no minimum staffing requirements and
individuals can choose to work events that fit their schedules. Shift length varies and will be posted with
notifications of available spots.

- STUDENT SLOTS: Students slots will occasionally be available,
depending upon the event. Details for

longer a student at Athens Drive High School.

notification. TIPS training sessions
will be offered several times throughout the year. TIPS training is valid for 3 years.

Parking: Free parking is provided in the parking deck located at: 1 East Lenoir Street (the underground parking deck located under the Marriott City Center). Follow these steps:
- Pull a ticket when entering the deck and keep it in your car.
- Ask your supervisor for a "chaser ticket" upon arriving for your shift.
- When exiting the deck you will first put the ticket you pulled when arriving into the machine and it will give you a total for how much your parking costs. At this point insert your second "chaser ticket" which you received from your supervisor and the gate will open for you to exit at no cost.
Cancellation Policy and Dismissal Policy
Please
understand that when people do not show up for their shift or sign up in a
slot they are not eligible to work (not age eligible or properly trained),
it affects both the workers at the stand and anyone who wanted to work but
could not find a slot. Therefore, the following policies are in place:
- Cancellation Policy:
If you find you cannot work a
shift you signed up for, please contact the coordinator as soon as possible. In
the event that Centerplate charges the Band Boosters a penalty for a
volunteer’s failure to work, your band account will be charged for the amount
of the penalty.
- Dismissal Policy:
If someone is signed up to
work in a spot for which they are not eligible and they are denied the
opportunity to work by the fundraising venue, your account will be charged the
amount that would have been made had the shift been worked.
