Tips to plan your college fest

College fest is one event students eagerly await. Apart from being on stage, showcasing talents and having fun, there is a lot that goes on behind the screen. From managing the crowd to organising events, college fests demand a whole lot of planning.

• Decoration

  ,
  Decoration is of prime importance in any college fest. The stage should be set well, depending on the theme. Lighting can spice up the atmosphere and is very crucial. However, do not over do the lighting. Ensure the sound systems are in place.

• Sponsors

  ,
  Pen down a list of expenses and frame a budget. With this in mind, try and get sponsors so that the funding can be eased out. A well-written sponsorship proposal can do the trick. Sponsors can be in the form of cash or kind.

• Chief guests

  ,
  Once the sponsors are in place, decide the chief guests or judges for the events. Make sure you are in constant touch with them. Two days prior, meet the guests in person and invite them. Get all the credentials right before introduction.

• Managing the crowd

  ,
  Any college fest is bound to have a lot of hooting and whistling. However, in order to control this, assigning volunteers to manage the crowd, both inside and outside the auditorium is mandatory. You could also take help from teachers.

• Food counters

  ,
  Food counters must be distanced from the place where the events are organized. This can minimize chaos and confusion. Proper disposal of waste, regular cleaning of the premises and having enough trash bins is also important.
