Welcome to the DCN Music Pacific Northwest Chapter blog!!

Each semester, DCN's music interns will be covering the latest and greatest in the Pacific Northwest music with a college edge.

About the DCN Music Internship:

Internship Objective

DCNLive Music Internship provides college students an opportunity to learn how to navigate the music industry. Students will gain practical experience in the field, network with industry professionals, develop professional skills, including interpersonal skills, teamwork and time management, as well as build their music resume.

Music Rep Responsibilities

As DCN Music Rep, students will have the following responsibilities:

  • Start a music blog chronicling the local music scene, to be updated weekly
  • Post video updates to DCNLive.com bi-weekly on local music news/events
  • Coordinate with a local venue to help plan, produce and promote a live event
  • Send bi-weekly progress reports to DCNLive Music
  • Cover local Grammy events as assigned by DCNLive Music
    • Students must choose to assist in one of the following (see attached requirements):
      • On Camera Talent
      • Filming/Production
      • Editing

This checklist is what is expected of each intern, but it is not meant to be limiting. Students are welcome and encouraged to reach beyond the guidelines and create experiences themselves and expand the internship to take on additional challenges. Interns are, however, required to keep DCNLive Music informed of their direction and progress.
