We are looking for volunteers to join the Cannon Studios program!  This is a program launched to provide the Cannon student and parent community opportunities to volunteer at events happening all over campus.

 We are looking for assistance running lights, sound, video, photography, makeup, costumes, building, painting, and construction for our upcoming performances and events. Interest in theater, film, photography, or technology is all that is required. No experience is necessary. During school, after-school, and weekend opportunities are available. 

We have a wide range of events that appeal to diverse skills and interests. These events include everything from sports broadcasting, CSG Gaming,  theater, conventions, competitions, music acts, and more. We hope to provide an avenue for volunteers to have a unique experience. This year we will be doing a lot of broadcast work. We will need Camera Operators, Lighting, Video Switching Operators, Editors, and Setup and Tear down crew. We will provide on-the-job training for anyone who is interested.

If interested, you will be entered into a contact list by filling out the form sign-up. Based on requests from groups like CTC, CSG, CSPN, Arts, Athletics, Marketing, and Alumni Offices, we will use this list to fill crew requests. Experience is valued, but interest and community are what we are looking to build. There are many opportunities that require no experience. These opportunities will provide you with experience, allow us to get to know you better, and improve the quality of our event environment here at Cannon School.

This year we have Brooke Timmes and Alex Fox as our President and Vice President. See/email Brook, Alex, or Mr. Storr if you have any questions.
