Mid-Fest Wing Team can expect to receive their schedule by Saturday, September 10th. We will try to send out schedules sooner, but Festival needs are a moving target and we would prefer to be certain about your shift times versus changing them last minute. The Coordinator will not change your assigned shift times, but may change the team you’re assigned to at any point during your shift due to ever-changing needs.

We will be as accommodating as possible when it comes to shift changes. In general, we prefer Wing Team Members trade shifts with other Wing Team Members to ensure all shifts are covered, however we will make exceptions on a case by case basis.
