LO4: Role During Evening Festival
Just before the evening festival began I was asked by one of my fellow Diploma classmates if I could transfer his film onto my pendrive and put it onto a spare computer in the library. Unfortunately, this took rather a long time to do, between ten and twenty minutes, so I missed the start of the Festival. Once I had transferred his film from my pendrive onto the computer, I headed downstairs in the hope that I could welcome people in as they arrived.
It was then that I had the brilliant idea of getting my trumpet and playing it as the arriving guests made their entrances, which was, unfortunately not approved by one of the Diploma teachers Mr Bigland.
However, I was not dispirited, and had another idea of singing when people came through the main entrance with the lyrics:
Welcome to Turton,
Turn left by the sign,
And you’re sure to have,
A wonderful time
This, with the addition of a few kind words informing them that they would need to go up the stairs and that there would be refreshments at the top proved a warm welcome which served to astonish, bewilder and thoroughly entertain our arriving guests. I also had company from fellow students with different people popping down at different times.
After Liz went home about half an hour before the end, I took over the role of interviewing parents with a video camera about what they thought of our festival. Although rather stuck for what to ask at first, I soon got the hang of it, asking parents questions such as “What did you think about our festival as a whole?” “Did you realise how much work was involved as a whole for the Diploma course?” and “What Did You Think About The Layout Of Our Festival?”, amongst others, as guests left.
