How to Write a Fashion Show ScriptIn Feburary 2016 30,

In Feburary 2016 30,
Fashion show script writing begins with solid research and careful thought. Spend time with each of the garments to find out what makes them special. Investigate what they are made of, what is fashionable about the cut, what its function is and how it is meant to be worn. Learn whether it belongs to a particular genre and what is new and different about it. Identify the designer for each garment and dig up the story behind the inspiration for it.
Developing a Vocabulary
If you don't already have a large and sparkling fashion vocabulary, start reading fashion magazines. Pay particular attention to how outfits are described and the storytelling methods used to sell an outfit. Read clothing catalogs and outfit descriptions. Make notes about compelling and inspiring language. Peruse fashion sites that provide lists of words to use for clothing.
Writing the Descriptions
Don't approach the writing as an elementary school descriptive writing exercise. Tell stories to make your writing shine. The National Opinion writer Julia Robson writes, 'Although the writing at its best might look simple, it isn't. A combination of speaking from the heart and punchy, one-liners can take hours, days even, to get right.' Start with the obvious when describing the garment and then include important details about what makes it special -- what its story is. Introduce the designer and the model. Devote time to editing and polishing it. Read it aloud. Read it to a friend. Take out anything that is repetitious or is too hard to say. Pare it down to the bare necessities, while still making the text sparkle. Write to any word counts or time limits that you have for the fashion show.
Putting It All Together
Start the script with an introduction that talks about the show's purpose -- whether it is a fundraiser, highlighting a particular brand or following a specific theme. Welcome the audience. Organize outfits into
runs
and put the descriptions in the proper order. Double-check with organizers to ensure the script matches the order of model appearance. Some fashion shows will have entertainment or guest speakers between runs, mark such elements in your script. At the end of the show, include the emcee's closing speech along with any thank yous to models, designers or sponsors.
Formatting the Script
Find out how the emcee wants the script structured -- whether she can read it from a hand-held tablet or from hard copy. Put the name of the outfit in bold or all caps with the name of the designer and model immediately after it. Leave a space and then include the description you wrote. You may choose to put key facts in bold for easier reading. Break up your descriptions into short paragraphs so they are easy to read. Read the script aloud to ensure it flows and follows the time sequences. Adjust as necessary.

How to Have a Successful Cheer Dance Competition for 6In Feburary 2016 12,

In Feburary 2016 12,
Plan ahead in advance at least four months to give yourself sufficient time to organize the junior cheer dance competition.
Create a website for the store front of your cheer dance club. Advertise the competition on the website to reach a wide public audience.
Recruit other staff members or parents to join you on a panel of event organizers so that you can share the workload and delegate responsibilities. Assign specific duties to panel members such as marketing, publicity, competition program, competition entries, sponsorship and staffing.
Decide on the goals of the event and whether you want it to be just a competition or also a fund-raiser for the cheer dance club. Decide whether you want the competition to be local, national or international and plan the marketing accordingly. Note that you must apply for nonprofit status from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to declare money raised and to gain tax exemption.
Schedule a suitable date in your diary for the competition such as a weekend or during a school vacation in spring or summer to increase your chances of hosting a successful competition. Holding a competition during months of inclement weather can result in low audience participation.
Find a venue such as a school gym, large community center or a public sports stadium. Try to find premises free of charge or those offering a discounted rate in return for good publicity. Book the venue once a deal has been reached.
Seek sponsorship from companies who would be prepared to donate the trophy and cash prizes in return for free advertising and raising their public profile. Seek financial aid also from funding bodies who support sports competitions.
Invite a local or national celebrity, as well as professional cheer dance coaches and competition judges accredited by the National Cheerleading Association to be on the panel of judges to raise the publicity of the event, to help draw in a full audience and to ensure the success of the cheer dance competition.
Plan how you are going to handle competition entries. Create a paper entry form or an online form (or both) to be filled in before the competition to be able to assess how many children and dance squads will be participating. Indicate a deadline for entries to avoid a last minute rush in entries or unpredictable numbers turning up on the day of the event.
Circulate posters in your local shopping mall, schools, other cheer dance clubs or schools and at the venue hosting your event. Place an ad in local, national or international newspapers and magazines. Contact your local and national radio and television stations to broadcast the news about the cheerleading competition for six-year-olds.
Plan a schedule of cheer dance competition heats and any fund-raising events that can take part during the day.
Recruit volunteers to staff the event, making sure that some members know first aid in case a child falls ill or has an injury.
Raise funds by charging competition entry fees, selling competition merchandise such as T-shirts, sweaters and gym skirts. Sell refreshments to hydrate competitors and audience members.
