Be part of the live and local program

If you are a young musician or an aspiring event organiser, Council wants you.

They require people to put their hands up to organise a youth-led event, with free training and remuneration on offer.

As part of the ‘Live and Local Program’, Council has invited residents aged between 12 and 25 to apply for the ‘Young and Local Music Program’, which will provide a series of three-hour workshops and short presentations throughout April and May.

The workshops will be followed by the Moorabool Live and Local Event in June, with program participants performing, organising the sound and lighting, and managing the event.

Program participants will not only get the chance to collaborate with peers, learn from experts in the events industry, and hone their performance skills, all for free – they will also get paid for their performance and production work.

Musicians should have at least basic skills in their chosen instrument and be able to play a song all the way through, but no prior experience is needed for production and event management, with the necessary skills to be taught through the program.

If this sounds like music to your ears, visit www.moorabool.vic.gov.au and search ‘Calling all Young Moorabool Music Makers’ and click the ‘Apply Here’ link to bring up the Expression of Interest form.

The form will only take a few minutes to fill out, with questions such as name, contact details, what kind of work you’d like to do for the event, and why you’d like to join the program.

The deadline for Expressions of Interest is March 21, with participants to be selected between March 22 and March 31.
