For most of the actual festival time (when I wasn't out collecting information via surveys) I was either managing the Greenroom or delivering various accouncements to the different stages and artists. Again, my trusty radio was an invaluable asset during this time as I could keep track of and update timetables where need be.
Managing as a part of the greenroom staff was definitely both the most relaxed, and yet one of the most serious roles a volunteer was given. While a good chunk of it was just meeting, greeting and checking the identification of the various performers and artists, keeping track of what time and where the artists were meant to be performing whilst being given constant and conflicting updates was a challenge.
The times when the artists were actually performing was when I was free to travel around helping out at other places in the festival. I spent a fair chunk of that time forcing people at the festival to fill out our extremely shallow survey, and occasionally I was made to do some odd jobs for some of the Viva staff.
