-Always has been a fun and relaxing event
-Students get a chance to express themselves to the school
-Learn something new about the students
-Stress-free, especially since its the end of the week.
-Good opportunity to socialize.

Barriers:

-Not all students may be interested in attending this event
-Students may not want to buy the tickets
-Not enough performers
-Gym may be booked on that day
-People might not buy snacks at the confectionery stand
-Decorations: might have to purchase.
-Too much work to accomplish in the amount of time
-Might get chaotic during talent show
-Technical difficulties, e.i. sound system, lights...
-Transition time might not be quick enough
-Not enough stage space?

Top 3 Barriers I will try to change:
1.Decorations
2. Work and Time management
3.Technical Difficulties

Decorations: Although it is possible that we may need to be purchasing some items, money would be an issue. Therefore, we can try to make the decorations and try our best to recieve some donations from ahs families. Also, to make the decorations stand out even more this year, we can extend the stage to the center of the gym. Perhaps a runway or a platform? I plan to ask Mr. Gudor to help with building a platform or runway since he built the stage steps

Work and Time Management: This is a big project. But if we were to tackle and accomplish 2-3 tasks each week, we can totally make this happen :) That is why, I plan to always update the milestone and tasks list on this blog. Also, with the help from Mrs. Wombold, who has experienced this before, she would be a great help in giving advices and pointers.

Technical Difficulties: All I can say is REHEARSE, REHEARSE and REHEARSE. Do several sound checks. As for transitioning between acts, organize certain instruments needed for each act, so the performers can easily set up. I plan to go ask Mr. Savishinsky if he can help us out on the week of the talent show plus, if he can come in on dress rehearsal day and stay after school on the day of talent show. I also plan to go over the stage crew's roles, what they would be doing and when they would be doing it, so the audience wouldn't have to wait while we are setting up for the next talent show act.
