My Experience as a Music Tour Manager Georgia - Music Tour Manager - NST

"I am fairly new to working with NST as a Music Tour Manager, but my experiences so far have been great. I have had the opportunity to not only travel destinations I love, I have also travelled to new destinations, and met some great people along the way.

The most rewarding part for me has to be watching students gain in confidence, and seeing the excitement and enthusiasm on their faces when they are playing to different audiences. Knowing you have played a part in making this happen feels great!

Yes, it's long days whilst on tour with a group, and you never quite know what challenges you may face with a particular venue, or resort, but working hard to ensure that you give them the best support you can, and helping the students have an amazing experience to tell their friends about when they get home, makes it all worth while. It's great to know that I have been a part of their journey.
