As the leader of the group I am so glad it went well and people had a lot of fun (although at first i had to go for two weeks to force and convince people to buy tickets each lunch and break!! but eventually I was really happy to hear a lot of positive feedback from everyone around that showed up) It started when I was creating the attendance list, talent show program and design the talent show poster (which we posted all around school) together with my colleague Rana.
It was very difficult for me to go around school and take everyone's playback music (and for some i also needed to download it my self) since everyone is a human being and naturally people forgot. At the last minute people gave me their music just as the talent show started.
Moreover, I also gave everyone a job to do and what exactly everyone should bring as a part of the food we had to sell.
To make sure everything would be ready for the talent show i came to school two hours early and organized the musical instruments and the sits for thwe audience and the judges . Just as we were about to start the talent show, we did not have the key to sound room and someone locked it for some reason, and i had to go to about 3-4 people until i found it.
There were many last changed that happened before the talent show started and many problems rose up, and as the group leader i had to fix them. The stage we have organized did not suite the dancers since there were instruments, so i have decided to move all the dancers right after our intermission break so we have time to clean up the stage and set it back while another performer was doing stand up so it would be ready for the rest of the singers and music players. Therefore I had to go back to the IT lab and reprint the program for the judges so they know the order, for the amazing MCs, and for my self as the DJ/sound-man that music. It was very difficult to do many jobs together at the same time but I am glad i did eventually. We say in Hebrew what doesn't kill you, strengths you, and I am definitely feeling stronger and thinking i developed great responsibilities, try new areas such as being a sound man, organizing and being the leader of an amazing group of such a big event. As the leader i was reposnible also to speak with our Head of Secondary and approve the event, get permission from several directors in KISU and speak to our music teacher and more in order to use the stage and the instruments.
Unfortunately, two of our judges came late and we had to replace them at the very very last minute' which was extremly frustrating however the replacememnts did a great job! It was the very first talent show we did IN KISU for kisu students and i was very keen to make it look professional, to raise the bar very high and prove people, why it was worth coming to the event after long exhausting begging.
Many unexpected thing can happen when such event takes place but i had to face a problem i did not think would happen. A very determined with great altitude girl was supposed to perform but she did not know the lyrics so i have offered her my phone to use and read it from there, but then i realized there was a much greater fear in her and i had to speak to her several time and encourage her to do the things she wants to do and prove everybody what she is capable of doing. Obviously i gave her the choice if to perform or not since it is not an easy thing to do, but i really wanted her to do so. Even though she did not win i am glad she stood up on stage and received the applause she deserved for participating.
In addition as much as it was difficult i also participated last in the show with my closet friend eddy and we performed a guitar piece we have came up with together. I have to admit we did not practice a lot at all and therefore it was a bit lacking but i had great time performing and it was really fun.
Overall, I am feeling very proud of my self that i lead my group to a success that could easily be a fail and i would never be able to do that without the help of other friends teachers and other great people. I feel much much more responsible now after i managed to create that event and i feel more confident about my capabilities. I definitely tried new things and developed new skills and i am really glad it turned out the way it did.
I really feel like thanking everyone in my class (and my CAS Teacher Mr.Moussay weho looked after us and encouraged us to do something new, cause at the end of the day i am glad we did not do a boring bake sale) who did a great job and especially Rana, Ingrid and Aviah that did alot alot too.
I am so happy and even sweaty from all the work and i feel as if it was totally worth it.
Thanks CAS!!! :D
