Big Event

The Big Event Committee, led by the Director of Big Event, is in charge of essentially scheduling, planning, and executing the Big Event. The Big Event Committee is in charge of planing all of the entertainment for the day, including the main stage acts, downstairs rooms, and everything else to keep people on their feet and busy. This takes a lot of team collaboration and brainstorming to figure out what we want to do. Committee members plan everything from the set up to tear down. This includes meal times, theme hours, decorations, live entertainment schedule, VIP section, etc. Its our job to make the Big Event an event that no one will ever forget.
