The Finishing Touches

 Everything has been booked, decorated, purchased, and practiced. We had our final rehearsal with the performers and we walked though everything that is going to happen at the actual event. The tickets have all been sold so we are also done advertising. This week I went to the printing shop to pick up the signs we ordered. All the signs are for covid restrictions, 6 feet apart, wearing masks, and all of that. We will hang them up the night of the event, but for now I'll store them at my house.

Everyone seems to be really excited, this has been such a fun event to plan because of the purpose behind it. This is a wonderful community full of families who are loyal to each other. You can tell everyone is exciting to look back at how far they've come. We have some youth coming to the event who have since graduated and moved on but grew up participating at Shine Performing Arts and everyone is excited to see them again. Its always exciting to plan a highly anticipated event where everyone gets to participate and celebrate the past and look forward to the future. 

Our meeting that we held after the rehearsal went well, we just went over everyone's duties for the actual event and got a short training on the walkie talkies that we will be using to communicate with all the team members. Its so exciting how close its getting!

Instagram and Website Progress

 We took a couple steps back this week. The website is coming along slower then we originally thought. However, we are having lots of fun posting on Instagram. The girls who came to model for us are also enjoying sharing our posts with their friends and highly recommending the dresses! Right now, our plan with Instagram is regular posting every week, and then posting more on weeks when school dances are coming up in the area. Camille is guessing that's when people will be looking for dance dresses anyways, so posting will increase sales. The website is complicated because each dress needs its own page and schedule and price. Making these takes a lot of time and patience so I've been doing my best to sit down and get all of those done so the website can go live! For now, Camille is taking care of rentals the old fashioned way, which is working fine until the website is finished.  Camille is excited to schedule her next photo shoot since we didn't even get close to finishing ...

The Clock Strikes Midnight

 I'm happy to report that all is done with Fairytale Formals! The clock struck midnight and its time for this girl in a ballgown to go home. Camille and I parted ways on this project on Wednesday and she said she couldn't be happier with our outcomes. Helping to create an online presence for Camille and her business was so rewarding and a lot of fun. I wanted to take some time today to share a quick overview of the project and everything we accomplished. Photo Shoot The first major thing we accomplished was a photo shoot with the dresses. We just wanted to get some shots of the dresses in use. We had a lot of fun renting a photo studio and getting some girls to come over and play dress up with us. These girls ended up having a huge part in sharing the photos afterwards as they told all their friends about this exciting new business. The photos turned out really good as well but we just didn't have enough time for what we needed to shoot. So after the photo shoot we booked a...

Springtime Event

 We held an event last week focused on the youth of Shine Performing Arts. This event is an annual event where the youth prepare performances and presentations to share with the community as well as their parents and other family members and friends. This event is sort of an end-of-year celebration to say goodbye to the graduating seniors, welcome in new students for next year and celebrate how far everyone has come and accomplished.  The event was canceled last year due to Covid-19 so we already knew there was a lot of excitement going into this event. We wanted it to be held outdoors so that we could let the maximum people attend the event. Because of our location we were able to keep social distancing rules while people enjoyed the food and entertainment for the evening.  Our biggest concern was the weather because it was the outdoor event, there were so many times where we thought the weather would come through, but as event managers and specialists, we came up with m...
