I understand and agree that submitting this application form does not automatically register me as a Telluride Blues & Brews Festival Volunteer. By submitting this form, I attest that the information I have provided on the form is true and accurate.

If I am accepted as a volunteer, I agree to the following:
-To satisfactorily complete my scheduled shifts.
-To arrive on time to my scheduled shifts.
-To NOT be under the influence of alcohol or drugs during my shifts.
-To NOT bring any pets with me to my shifts (yes, this means no dogs too).

I Understand that a one-time non-refundable fee of $25 must be paid before applicants are accepted to join the Blues Volunteer Team.

This fee is commensurate with the time and labor costs associated with scheduling and confirming your assigned shifts. I understand that the festival may charge a courtesy fee of $75 if the volunteer schedule is not canceled before August 15, 2026.
