GCA FASHION SHOW (work as a volunteer)

Fashion Show is a big event to our school, and every year our school would spend a lot of money in this project.

Luckily, Sylvia and I became the emcee and the Grade 10 chief contact person. So that means, I was in charge of many things There were many things should be done before the Fashion Show, such us the back up banner, the model training, the make-up. At last, Sylvia and I divided jobs for ourselves. I was going to be charge of the making of the back up banner, and Sylvia and I were going to be charge of the model training together.

To make a back-up banner was a really difficult job. The banner was very big. The length was 6 meters and the width was 3 meters. There would be 27 letters total. I found 6 more volunteers to help me to do this work. Because we wanted to make the letters very bright, so we decided to us paint to paint all the letters. Also, we didn’t want to make all the letters in the same style, we decided to use different ways to paint.

After we made all the letters (which took us nearly 10 hours), we got another big problem, which is how to put all the letters on the curtain. We decided not to use the double side tape because we were afraid it would drop off easily. At last, we used staples to staple all the letters on the curtain.

The model training part was extremely tired. Not all the models came on time, and they were speaking in a loud voice. Sylvia and I needed to talk in a louder voice and gave everyone their order. We needed to tell them how to walk on the stage. It took us more than 3 hours to finish all the training part.

The emcee part was the most exciting part for me. I found I really love this job. I was the emcee of our school’s talent show, and I became the emcee of the school’s fashion show! There were 6 emcees total for this fashion show. My partner Alex and I were going to introduce the uniform part and the teacher’s clothes. Actually, this time, we didn’t practice a lot because at the weekend before the fashion show, we even didn’t know what the cloths looked like. At last, we decided not to practice at all.

On the day of the fashion show, someone helped me to do the make-up. I dressed in nice clothes. When I went on the stage, I found I was not nervous at all. I felt excited about this. I thought I was really brave now. There were many audience looking at me, the only felling I had was that I felt confident.

The Fashion Show didn’t last for a long time. After it ended, I took pictures with many teachers.

I did many voluntary works during the whole Fashion Show project. I got 20 voluntary work hours totally.
