It didn't go as I expected it to go,but other than a few minor glitches,I guess I could say that it was enjoyed by the students :)
I prepared a checklist before hand to avoid me forgetting anything.
First of all,I had to run around the whole morning trying to find all the contestants and make sure they were actually there and had their equipment prepared as well as outfits. I also had to talk to Dina (the hostess) about what to say,when to say it,who was going in first and in what order. Thankfully,Mr Gray saved me the hassle of trying to organise the gym with the chairs,stage and P.A system. He also got a few of the guys to bring in the drum set and the piano which was very difficult for them so many thanks to them as well :D
The contestant had to be in the gym at lunch time in order for us to go through the whole show and see what it would be like and it was a bit hectic so I had to use my outside voice once or twice :)
According to my checklist, I realised that I needed someone to stay by the P.A system and turn the microphones on and off,or to adjust the volume to the microphones and music with the fading away and fading in. Luckily,I managed to get Pablo and Ndina to do this for me.
The judges were also told how to walk in and to what music they would be doing it do and if you ask me,they looked pretty intimidating especially with the music that was playing.
Concerning the voting process,the judges did a magnificent job! They made the atmosphere quite tense at one one point. We decided that from the 5 contestants,2 would be eliminated by the judges and then the audience would decide who would win 1st place,2nd place and 3rd place by moving around to the specified areas of the room. These were the winners:

I would NEVER have been able to achieve the show if it wasn't from the help I received from various people. So I would sincerely like to thank everyone that assisted in the whole setting up and preparation of the show. This includes Mr. & Mrs. Gray, Ms Oxana, Dina, Alyona,Polly, Julien,Mr Giddens, Yaroslav, Pablo,Ndina,David,Måns and Han.
Hopefully I didn't forget anyone...and If I did,I'm sorry :/
Stay tuned for the video of the show! :D

Your continued involvement with CAS and the school has been fantastic this year. I am very aware of the amount of effort you placed into this activity and the amount of CAS related work you have been involved in for the whole year. Excellent work.
