Green Room Guardian Duties:

• Uniforms checks with me backstage (plain black belts only, black dress trousers, neat cuffs, etc.)

• Being the main adult in the CC green room (David and I will be running about!)

• Keeping the green room a calm space for everyone (no piano playing during the show, no screaming, keeping hooligan activities to a minimum etc.) ;)

Volunteering at one VCC event during the season is an expectation of membership (and it's fun).
