Do I need to have promotions experience to join?
You do not need prior experience to join our team.  We realize your participation is a good-will gesture, and appreciate what you can bring to the table.

What does the Street Team do?
Street Team members share their enthusiasm through a number of fun activities with the goal of increasing awareness of The Backbone Of The Blues.

These activities include:
At Festival:
1 - Visit booth/Land Yacht
2 - Wear cruiser sticker/LRBC t-shirt
3 - Hang out and share your cruise stories
4 - Pick up and distribute referral cards
5 - Carry Legendary flag (esp. where we will not be present)

In Advance (please request):
5 - Flyer area record stores
6 - Gather info about local clubs and radio shows with contacts so we can set up interviews and research which clubs to go to. It is very important that clubs feature national touring acts on a regular basis.
7 - Suggest/submit Silent Auction items for on-ship and pre-cruise fundraisers.
