Innovation

For the innovation, I decided to do a job of an Usher. This meant escorting people to their seats to make sure there were no conflicts between people, and to make sure the event was run smoothly. When we arrived in the hall, we first set up the seats, and discussed the chair colours, as it represented different tickets. We also discussed how we would escort the people to the seats.
When the event started, we had to keep the different ticket people in different areas and escort them at different times. During this, there was a lot of problems with communication, as we could not contact the Lizzie, who was the organizer, and we had difficulty in deciding when to escort the people upstairs to the hall. Moreover, when we escorted the people upstairs, we had difficulty in making sure everyone had a seat of their ticket. However, in the end, we were able to seat everyone according to their tickets.
When the event started, everyone was seated, and the event ran smoothly. After the end of the event, we had to clean up the cups and rubbish in the hall. The good thing was that we all had the opportunity of getting some of the leftovers of the VIP gift bags.
Overall, although there was some difficulty in seating everyone, we eventually did it, and was able to enjoy the show as well.

Waiting to be called to escort the audience

Reflection:
L2: It was my first time to try the job of an usher, and I was able to learn how to seat people in a more efficient manner after trying it.
L3: Although there was some difficulty in communicating during the event, while seating people, we planned and discussed how we would carry it out.
L4: We had to work collaboratively with all the other helping members when laying out the seat, as well as when seating the audience. In addition, the final clean up in the end also required team work.
L5: We were all aware of the different people, and helped people at all times. We also stayed after the event to help with the final clean up.

Overall, I was able to stay on task as an usher, and provide the people any help that was needed. Moreover, I was able to seat the audience with the collaboration with other ushers.
