tour with a band is my dream

tour with a band is my dream, because I can come to the new place, meet new people, and traveling around the world.
How to tour with a band
It made me
feel awesome! 
"It made me love saying "I'm with the band." One of the most fun and amazing experiences I've had! "
How I did it: I recently started getting into concert photography, and was helped out *a lot* by a friend who has been doing it for quite some time. I wish I had a cool story on how I did it, but it was basically knowing people who knew people.
Lessons & tips: Don't be such a fan. Being a part of the tour means that you're there for some sort of role (ex: I was one of the photographers), and because you appreciate the music. Stressing on "appreciate". Wanting to be part of a tour because "you're their biggest fan ever, omg" is not a reason. Bands have plenty of starstruck fans...they don't need them as part of their crew.
Resources: Contacts. Friends. Contacts becoming friends.

I found a band who’s willing to try me out so I’ll possibly be on tour next year. I’m beyond stoked because this is all I’ve ever wanted.
Wish me luck!
This fell through. They decided to take someone else out with them :(

Although I still think it would be an absolutely amazing experience, I just don’t forsee this happening. Perhaps when I’m out of school and doing my own photography/design thing, it will become more likely.
I've traveled with two bands

I was doing photography and it was only for a weekend. But it was a lot of fun. So, I’m hoping I can travel with them again this summer.
