Sign up to Volunteer Day of Show (DOS Committee)!
There are multiple ways to be involved in the extremely crucial, behind-the-scenes work that goes into putting on the Levitt AMP [Harrisonburg] Music Series. Details regarding the roles and time commitments within the DOS Committee are outlined in the PDF document linked in the button below.
After reviewing the PDF, please complete the form linked in the next button to submit your preferred job and availability. If none of the DOS roles will work with your schedule, but you would still like to be kept in the loop regarding other ways to help with Levitt please select that option in the form.
Ideally, some of these committee members will develop a sense of ownership of this series and continue their involvement with DOS in future years. HDR is a four-person team that produces 7+ other events each year, and we can’t bring free, live music to Harrisonburg without volunteer help – so thank you all for your willingness and enthusiasm to make this happen.

How did you come up with the list of final artists?
The list of 103 artists that the community will be sorting through is a compilation of suggestions sent to us by the public, inquiries made by talent agencies, and direct requests from artists. They were selected based on their cost, proximity to us, tour schedule, and the parameters set forth by the Levitt Foundation regarding the need for a diverse line-up. Local artist openers will be selected and contacted to be booked as openers at a later date by the Core Planning Committee as budget allows. At this time, we are no longer accepting additional artist or band suggestions.
