We need to be very colorful with this event. most pictures have a plethora of vibrant colors. We should have bright balloons or colorful posters. We also should hold a class vote to decide upon the songs we use in your power point.
I actually have to disagree with Tyler about having everything be very colorful and bright. I don't think we want this event to look gaudy of tacky like a little child's birthday party, but rather more classy. I guess that sounds pretty cheesy but I assume most of us want to be perceived as intellectual individuals and I believe everything should be color coordinated. I really like the idea of black and silver being the theme. Also, if we did balloons, they could be a mix of black, silver, and even blues. What I do think is a good idea is if we all coincide on the music selections for Ms. McAffry’s power-point.
I think we should have center peices for all the tables, or, if we don't have tables, just something like posters. They could be pictures of cameras, or people taking pictures and capturing the moment.
I'm going to have agree with Chloe on having the simple colors. I think everything should be color-cooridnated and have a sophisticated manner about it. I also think the individual groups (music, food, greeters & etc..) should wear the same color to look professional.
I would like to say that I think we should be color coordinated. Right before we start the power point we should turn off all of the lights. Then we would have a anouncer anounce something and start the slide show. We could only do this if we do the slide show at a certain time.
I think the evening should be formal.i like the idea of indivisual groups being color coordinated, but maybe everyone should wear something that's silver or black, and is appropriate for a formal occasion. it might also be a good idea for each group from each class to get together and coordinate, so it would make planning run alot smoother if each section were on equal terms.
I agree with Tyler about deciding on songs for Mrs.McAffry's powerpoint. I think we could personalize the song selection more by giving suggestions of favorite songs to the planners in charge of them. If a student has a particular song in mind, we might be able to play it.
I agree with ashleyp about the students wearing black and silver. This produces a more formal occasion. To create a more of an exhibition environment, the students can wear small black name tags with silver writing of the student's name. This corresponds with the color scheme of the night. The name tags form a professional event and parents can get to know each student's name.
I agree with ashleyp and chloeg. The night should be as formal as possible. The color scheme of black and silver is great. We could make decorations in stars or somethiing. If its possible hang them from the ceiling or somethings. We could have soft classical music to make the evening special, but we would have to agree in both classes on music for the whole evening and for Mrs. McAffry's power-point. Also for the evening to run smoothly the two classes should get together and plan.
I agree with what people have said about having coordinating colors. I think that one think that would make the evening classy would be if whenever people come into the library, they are seated and brought their snack or refreshment. I don't know if that was already being planned to do but like Cloe said this could only take place if the slideshow occured at a specific time.
I agree with everyone that thinks we should make this event formal. We also need it to be very colorful but not childish colorful, it needs to be elegant. I think we should have our own little poster boards (black) with our pictures printed out and make it decorative. That way you could express your individuality and still be formal.
I think that if we are going to go with the silver and black theme that we need to buy a bag of Hershey's Kisses wrapped in the silver aluminum foil and spread then around in the middle of the tables.
I really like cameronr's idea about the Hershey Kisses and also katarinaa's idea about the silver stars. I also think we should all be somewhat coordinated with the same colors. I don't know if this would be possible, but maybe we could have a "red carpet" type thing going around to people to walk on when they go around to look at our pictures. Of course not red, but a complimentary color to black and silver. "Capture the Night" just makes me think of the old movie stars of the 50s and 60s. Also, about the music for the powerpoint, I don't think classical music, but maybe a nice soft rock song that's pertinent to our theme.
I definitely agree with the black and silver color scheme, as it will set the mood for our theme. I also believe, as a way to show our appreciation of our guests' presence, we could create thank you notes accompanied by a small gift, such as the Hershey Kisses as Cameron suggested. Intricate details are key in making this a successful and enjoyable evening.
I agree with having the groups dress up with the color theme of black and silver, but I disagree with katie p. on taking food to the guests. I think we should take the guests drinks to the table, but let them casually go get food when they want it, and not have a set time to sit and eat. Lets make that part a little less formal.
I love the black and silver color idea and keeping this event formal; I think that will impress our parents. Now, i say it would be fun if we made it into a contest. The parents and students could vote on their favorite picture and person who presents and explains their picture the best. It would kind of spice up the evening and make it a bit more fun.
I elissag's idea about making it in to a contest.Just to be a bit more creative, and make it more enthusiastic. This way the parents and other guests can feel more involved with the occassion. I believe by having the guests participate they will enjoy the exhibit a little more.
I agree with Chloe that we should be formal and wear all black or black and silver. In addition to that we should group the like photos together so that it would make it easier to judge who has the best photo
To put some specific music out there im going ot go with the classics. Like the Eagles, U2, any song by The Beatles, How Far is Heaven by the Los Lonely Boys, The Doors,What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, We Could be Heroes by David Bowie, and artisits like BB King, James Brown, and Barry Manillow. I don't know any other music besides rock, so these are the best i can think of. I also think that intrumental music would be appropriate. The main thing when were picking songs is to appeal to the parets not to the other students.
I agree with Alford that we should have music for our powerpoint songs. But I don't think we should have ballons and vibrant colors. It should be formal like somebody else on here said.
I agree with cassiec and katarinaa about the decorations. like having some sort of centerpeice of stars and silver confetti to tie the night together. And the idea of making the night into a contest would be fun. Like a best in show.
I agree that this should be a formal night but I think it could be colorful just not over the top. I think we could have a desert bar with candies and brownies or cookies or something sweet. And with food we could do like easy cheap foods yet we could do pasta. We could have different sauces it wouldn't be hard and it would be cheap or we don't have to have different sauces we could choose one type of sauce. We need to narrow down on what food we want to have for this event.
As far as music goes,I think we should play jazz or songs with a jazzy,blues feel.If we choose clasical it will make the evening stiff and a little to formal and intimidating.Something in or near that genre of music will make the night a little more relaxed. For the slide show, I think we should make it feel sentimental,maybe so much that it makes our guest feel like they are reminiscing moments through our photos.They could possibly even make new moments when they Capture the night
I agree on having our attire black and silver, but I also think the girls and boys should be differently dressed. Even though they will obviously be separated by just looking at them; this gives it a girl and boy feel about it. As Elissag stated for it to be a contest this makes it feel as though it is a contest between boys and girls. If the girls wear silver and the boys wear black I personally feel this will work best because it will feel like a competition. This will help each student be on top of their game during the exhibit.
Ok, I can not decide on just one thing to say, so this may come out like a rant. First of all, if we go the contest route I think there should be multiple winners (best quality photo, best presenter, most creative photo, etc.). I don't think the guys and girls should dress different; we want a sense of unity, right? I like the sound of the center pieces, thank you gifts, and silver/black theme.
I think it would be fun to make a scrapbook type thing just to remember the event. Since Mrs. Mcaffry loves to take pictures, and it's a photo exhibit, I think we should have either Mrs. Mcaffry or someone else take pictures throughout the evening for us to organize into a mini scrapbook. I also like chloeg's idea of having balloons, but i don't know if we can because of the student at our school that is allergic to latex. I'm not sure if that would have any effect on that student.
I like cameron's idea about the Hershey Kisses. I also like sticking to the color scheme. I think we should have decorations that stick to our theme, like pictures of cameras and I think we should be able to decorate notecards that have our theme and picture name on them.
I dont really like the whole pictures of camera's thing but i think it would be cool to have the best pictures blown up and used instead of pictures of camera's. Almost like a photo gallery. I think that would be nice. Maybe 10 of the best pictures in both classes and get them blown up and put out for decoration. Or maybe even have Mrs. McAffry take some really good pictures and have them setting out instead of the top 10 photo's.
I like the idea of color coordination as well as the idea of Hershey Kisses. I was thinking we could decorate with streamers and maybe Katarina's idea about stars from the ceiling. I have also learned in SGA this year that we can't have any latex in the school so we need to be careful if we are to use balloons.
I agree with what almost everyone has said that we should all dress alike.I also think that we should put the color scheme in the invitations.This way the parents could dress in those colors too and feel like they are invloved also.About the balloon idea since we are not allowed to have latex we could get the foil balloons and they would fit in better with the theme anyways since they are silver.
We could use like a waltzy kind of music in the background. I also like the idea about the cheap foods like the spaghetti with different sauces and maybe we could have some people actually cook the food and bring it in before the event starts.
kaylah The silver and black color scheme is very classy, however i have a feeling if these are the only colors we use the exhibit may look slightly bland. We could possibly add in bright colors such as reds or oranges. I believe that adding minor pops of color will add an over all better and more interesting vibe to our exhibit.
I agree with Katarina A on the decorations. I also agree with everyone that thinks the event should be formal. I think we should have some big band and instrumental music. I disagree with Kayla H on the event looking bland if we use the black and silver colors because then the focus would be on the pictures not our decorations.
I am going out on a limb here but I'm really for the tuxes. White for announcers black for everyone else. Dresses for girls cause I know you won't wear tuxes. There is no possible way this is going to happen but I like to think outside the box.
I agree on the whole color scheme and hershey kisses idea, but what if we could have individual gift bags. They sell them at the dollar store in packs and are very cheap. Inside the bag we could have the evening planner rolled up and tied, along with a few more "candies" or "treats".
I also think that the greeters shouldn't just stand at the door but they should be involved with the parents and talk to them so the parents feel more welcome. Just have the greeters carry on a polite conversation.
I will be a greeter at the "photo exhibit" and the third period greeter group agreed that all the greeters from both classes should wear red and black to stick out. That way the parents will know we are the people they can ask if they are trying to find the bathroom or something.
It might sound gross, and it is kind of gross but what if we could ask the janitor to "super"clean a set of bathrooms for the parents to use. And if the janitors don't want to maybe a group of students can. Because everyone knows school bathrooms aren't the friendliest places.and we want to impress the parents.
I believe that we need to keep this event very organized and keep the atmosphere relaxed. Students are normally told what to do and given directions on how to do it. This time we get to make our own decisions on how this night is going to work. It needs to be a formal and intellectual night, but we should, "spice up the show" as james said.
I agree with Charalotte about the gift bag ideas, also i think maybe we could have tiny copys of our featured photos, so if some of the parents really think " wow that is just amazing, i want a copy." then they could pick up one, maybe wallet size or something.
I agree with most people about this being a formal event. For the music I was thinking of getting a piano player for some nice soft background music if anyone might know someone.
I don't think that this event should feel like some boring school event that some high schoolers threw together. I think that we need to be organized and make it a little fun. I needs to have an organized set-up and it doesn't need to be caotic with students running around everywhere that they are not supposed to be.
Im going to have to disagree with James's comment about having a local band play becouse i think that they would take away from the pictures, whic is why were having the thimgy. I do agree though that mabye some live music would be cool but only is it would be just straight forward instumental kinda jazzy music. I aloso agree with nates dream about the tuxes even though its impossible.
I don't know if anyone else besides Sydney has really talked about food and refreshments for the evening, but If we do decide that that is important, I definitely don't think it should be a meal. This event is at 7 at night and most parents will have eaten and we can't all be worried about serving food. Plus a dessert and pasta is messy. I think we should do a veggie and fruit tray. It would be really cool if someone walked around with a silver platter covered in crackers with veggie dip or something, and offered it to the parents like at a real art exipit. We could do a bowl of mints or something like that but not a whole dessert bar.
I believe two words that will and can describe the night are snazzy and classy. Nothing two over dramatic like chloe said. Thats a great idea. We need to be ready and informed, and act mature. Causal clothes, some relaxing music, and some h'orderves would set the tone. Relaxed greeters and confidant ceremony masters would give the impression of a mature, responsible class.
