WOAH, PBS DRIVE LIVE WAS REALLY FUN
Thanks to the top team of volunteers to who rolled out the 10 hour week long event. What a team! Drive Live highlights PBS' ongoing commitment to support local/under-represented music and it falls during our performer member month. Performers who take out/renew membership in Feb go into the draw to win a heap of cool prizes as well as get thanked on the program of their choice for a whole year.
So we've had heaps of people say they'd like to volunteer for PBS, and we're in one of those very rare situations where most of our roles are covered by excellent volunteers, but we do have some vacancies and are taking Expressions of Interest for other roles down the track. Have a look to see if there's something that suits you!
