The Warehouse Alliance has multiple volunteer opportunities in our program the Warehouse.
The Warehouse is an all-ages concert venue that serves no alcohol. National bands come through when they are on their way up, like Fall out Boy, Mudvayne, Nine Inch Nails, My Chemical Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Mod Sun, Wookiefoot, POS, etc.
We have young local bands perform with the national touring bands, to get real-feel concert experience.
All of this gives the young adults of the area ongoing opportunities to congregate and enjoy music without being hounded to buy alcohol, consume drugs, etc. Everyone that comes to shows is there to see and hear the bands and hang with their friends, as well as meeting new friends.
The Warehouse Alliance is the 501c3 non-profit that oversees operations of the Warehouse.
We have needs for assistance in several positions at the venue and offsite:
• Soda Bartenders - Work the soda bar during shows and other events. Warehouse has a bar with an extensive soda list, with sodas from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, Croatia, and more.
• Poster Distribution - Hang show and event posters around the Coulee Region at businesses and especially at schools. Looking for intelligent students willing to be the liaison between Warehouse Alliance and Resident Hall Directors at UWL, Viterbo, and Winona State University.
• Load In Crew - Get a behind the scenes look at the music industry and assist bands with bringing gear in and getting set up. This really isn't a job for someone who is small in stature or weak -- we have LOTS of stairs and music gear is not light.
• Load Out Crew - See behind the scenes and help with tear down and moving band gear outside. This really isn't a job for someone who is small in stature or weak - we have LOTS of stairs and music gear is not light.
• Stage Crew - Help move equipment around, onto, and offstage during and before the show. Adjust microphones, stands, assist bands.
• Box Office - Sell tickets to shows directly to people coming for the event, also for future events, greet guests, help direct bands.
• Cleaning/Maintenance - this can be anything from painting to window repair to stage equipment repair and more. Usually during down times when there is no show.
• Data Entry - We are beginning to sort 28 years of concert posters, with the goal of scanning each poster and recording important show information into a massive searchable database for our website, for future generations to enjoy.
• Graphic Design - Upon occasion we are interested in people to work on posters, flyers, and our websites.
If you want to help the local music scene, join a fiercely independent, driven, bunch of music lovers who believe in the power of music.
