Firefly 2013
At Firefly, we “clipboarded” on the festival grounds before and after Dispatch preformed. With much enthusiasm we went around to fans saying things like “Do you love Dispatch? Awesome! Have you heard about their Amplifying Education campaign?” It was awesome hearing responses from fans that are already informed and supportive of the campaign. Many told me about their past experiences and involvement with AmpEd, and for those who haven’t yet heard about us, everyone was interested in learning more.
This experience stood out for me because the people we were speaking with weren’t gathered specifically for AmpEd, unlike pre-show service projects. Instead, they were at Firefly for the music, yet were still very interested in speaking with us to learn more about AmpEd. As I was explaining the campaign, many people commented how great it was, and wanted to learn more. It was an incredible experience being able to spread the word about AmpEd, telling fans about the great work done through this campaign!
