Behind those happiness and enjoyment of the students in our oath taking and socialization night is the nerve cracking pressure for us (SR officers).
It was JUNE 26, 2009 as the scheduled activity will start at 7:00 PM. It is approximately 20 minutes to 5 o’clock PM. I was in the student republic office then suddenly I heard a bad news from a fellow officer. That the sound system they have contacted have back out for the reason that there is no contract signed for it. Wow it that last minutes before the activity. It may have been that there is someone who offered them much bigger pay for their services.
It was really a big problem. As we think of the solution, some member of the SR tried to contact other sound system to service the activity. And as a contingency, I suggested to prepare the school sound system and its operator just incase there is a need for it. And as we ask permission to the in charge office to use the school sound system, another problem arise, the officer in charge told us that there have been no letter or permission slip submitted to the office for the use of the venue and other facilities. But thanks the officer in charge gave us a chance to comply for it in that last minute of office.
Again as we go back to the student republic office, comes another problem, the backdrop for the stage has not yet been set to its place, the chairs scattered around the venue and was not yet arrange. But thanks to the loving service of our future engineers who help me and my fellow officers to prepare the venue and the stage.
It was approaching 6 PM, some students have been coming in, as the scheduled attendance check was 6:30 PM. Yet there is no bit of sound you can hear from the venue, as it was just like a normal evening. A minute after 2 officers approached us that they have contacted a sound system and it was looking good. But to check it me and 3 other officer went to the owner. They confirmed to service us provided we find a truck for them to carry their equipment to the venue; I guess that’s another problem. Now as we look for that truck. And minutes later we find none.
Unfortunately, come another problem, the operator contacted us asking that if we could find a truck. We gave them 2 hours to set up their equipment before our program could start.
WOow!!! I think its too late to do that, many students have been in school now. It been approximately 30 minutes after 6:00 PM so I suggested we go with the contingency plan, use the school sound system. And just rent the lights.
Unfortunately again, the sound system owner wouldn’t let us rent their lights and music. But comes another suggestion from another officer that there is someone who could let us rent their equipment. So the two officers were dispatch to get it.
