<v Speaker 2>are currently looking for interns for our festival, which will

17
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.759

18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 2>can range from many majors. We're looking for college kids.

19
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be music education at all. I'm

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>not music degree at Also.

21
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 3>You're kind of my business and promotion and things like that.

22
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, strategic communications. Yeah, I'm getting a lot of

23
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>experience everybody else do. Interns can also get a lot

24
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of experience. So we're excited, we're pumps.

25
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 3>You should be. You should be now.

26
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Being an intern with Okay and Music is really pretty

27
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>top notch because you get to do a variety of things.

28
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>You're not like pigeonholed into one little set of menial tasks.

29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>You got a lot of important things to do. Yeah.

30
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>No, we definitely have a lot a lot of program development,

31
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>children's programming, marketing, pr advertising. We get to meet with

32
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>world class artists and so we get to manage all

33
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>of that, manage all what we're going to have at

34
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the festival. So there's definitely a lot of things to

35
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>do and a lot of opportunities for our interns to do.

36
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Also, did you get to meet Lee Greenwood?

37
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I did, knew it and he was out there at

38
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the OKMT at Wooll of Rock And what a night

39
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 1>that was.

40
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 3>That was a night to remember.

41
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was awesome.

42
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

43
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 1>So when we talk about some of the perks of

44
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the job, that was one of the perks is that

45
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you get to meet the artists, but you get to

46
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>do a lot of other things. You really get the

47
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 1>full impact of what a festival like this on a

48
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>world class stage, is backstage, the business end, the office end,

49
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>in even the coordination, and that's got to be the

50
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>hardest part, making sure all the pieces come together.

51
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely some kind sometimes can be difficult, but

52
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>we're working on this right when the festival ends. From

53
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>last summer, we're working on the next one, so we

54
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>have quite a bit of time. But it's definitely vital

55
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>for the interns that are working during that period where

56
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>everything does need to come together right then and there.

57
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 1>So the children's programs are outstanding.

58
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Do you get a hand in that too, Yes, So

59
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>we work the children's programming, We help out with Rose

60
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and we go from the children's programming straight to the

61
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 2>music festival. So it's a jam packed ten days, but

62
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>it's really fun.

63
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 3>What's your favorite part? My favorite part, absolute favorite part.

64
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I really like the advertising side of it, but I

65
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>think that's just my degree kind of pushing in a

66
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit. But I really the program development, the advertising,

67
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>that's my favorite part.

68
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Well, you do it so well because everybody in the

69
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>United States knows about this festival. It is not It

70
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>has grown from a you know, just kind of a

71
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>local thing to a regional thing to a state wide

72
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>thing to you know, now you've got several states where

73
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>folks are going, hey, we got to go there, we

74
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.400

75
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>only from here. We also do a couple of things

76
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 1>in Tulsa as well. Because it's grown so much, that's

77
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>got to be just really cool.

78
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>To be around.

79
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely really fun. I like all the behind the scenes.

80
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>So uh huh? And how do you become an intern

81

<v Speaker 1>as far as being in the marketing and in that

88
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 1>end of it all. But I'm seeing here that finance, development,

89
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>volunteer coordinator, box office it production, retail design, early childhood,

90

<v Speaker 1>music education, and music education are all the different types

91
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 1>of majors that they're looking for. Now. I know about

92
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>the retail thing because you sell tickets, but you also

93
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.399
