Different types of CAS activities


About 2 weeks before the first day of school, I decided to try different types of volunteer work. One day, someone told me that one of the most famous singers comes to Moscow and there is going to be a big concert. He asked me if I can help them. I was concidering for a different types of CAS activities so I said that I really want to do.
 On saturday which is a day before the concert, I had a meeting with people who organized this concert. On that day, we decided the position for next day and what we need to do. my position was right in front of the stage so that I need to control people who are sitting front. I was so excited that I will do some different style of CAS activities.
  On sunday, I went to the place where the concert be early in the morning. I set the chairs for people who will come, I set the tables for poster, and I put posters around the place. I was running for more that 3 km on this day to put posters. After lunch, the atmosphere in the place was getting more serious because the concert is comming but we werent ready. I was helping camera men and they taught me how to use it. It was new to me that I was using a professional camera. I was also controlling lights.
When people started to come in, I was so nervous because I didnt know what I need to do. However it was prttey fine. When people asked me where they can sit, I answered with fluent russian immediately. As my position was right in front of the stage, I counldnt drink, go to toilet and sit.
   When the actual concert started, I was doing my work which I have to do. I controlled people at the front, explain where the toilet is, telling people to sit down and etc.




I was developing my skills how to use professional camera and light for concert.
