WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!

What you see on stage is the beauty and grace of our dancers.  What you don’t see is the hours of support they receive from our volunteers.  Each year we rely on people like you to help the SBC achieve its mission. 

If you are interested in getting involved, we have the need for two types of volunteers:

Performance Volunteers assist with the backstage work, set construction and moving, props, costumes and merchandise sales efforts for the SBC performances.  Our only requirements are that you be at least 18 years old and that you have a good attitude and desire to help.  If you are interested in volunteering in this capacity, please complete the volunteer sign-up form and return it to the SBC office.  Please let us know what type of work you want to help with, what background or experience you have (none is necessary, but it helps to know if you have some) and for which show(s) you would be interested in working. Our 2010-2011 performance season consists of Rockballet (September 11 & 12, 2010), The Nutcracker (December 11 & 12, 2010) and Cinderella (April 16 & 17, 2011).

Project Volunteers are needed to help the SBC with non-performance based special projects, such as organizing and cleaning the costume room, archiving SBC materials and helping with fundraising events and mailings.  Please contact Sally Hamilton at 217-544-1967 or hamilton@springfieldballetco.org to get on the Project Volunteers list and you will get a call or e-mail letting you know when we have special projects coming up.
