Make Yardfest Happen

If your only experience with Yardfest involves being squished at the back of the crowd while trying to get a glimpse of Kid Cudi or Ratatat, it's time to upgrade your status. By joining the Harvard College Concert Commission, you'll have the chance to help plan and execute Yardfest, giving you the opportunity to have personal encounters with Yardfest artists.

"We're always looking for more people to join because it helps us to bring in more ideas," said Shadman S. Zaman '12, director of HCC. "The most rewarding part is when you get to be at the front and see everyone having a good time."

If you're interested in comping HCC, the first meeting is Thursday, March 24 at 5 p.m. in the Kirkland House seminar room in K entryway.

"Anyone who is interested in the logistics of event planning ... or just interested in music should apply," Shadman said. "A lot of people have suggestions and ideas but they don’t know how to put those ideas out there."
