Today was a normal street parade day. We had a slow morning, then a lot of fun washing the cars, and cleaning the floats. After this we all sat down in a circle and Andy, the stage manager told us a bit about her life in the entertainment industry and what she has achieved and hopes to achieve, she also went into a lot of detail about the different sectors of the industry which everyone was interested in. This was mostly events management. Andy's speech was really inspiring and really lead me to think about the industry and what exactly i want to do, and how im going to go about getting there. I had so much appreciation for Andy after hearing her experience, she is such a nice person and very good at what she does.
After her speech, we went on to get briefed about the order of the street parade, the floats and designated our costumes. Today i was cannon lady again for the 1pm parade and for the 5pm parade i was a marshall. A marshall is dressed in either a red, green or yellow mechanical suit, and it is their job to make sure no one crosses through the parade whilst its taking place and to ask people to move back if they are in the way of the parade, too close to the parade. It is the mechanicals role to consider the safety of the parade and instruct the public appropriately. However, its not hard work and being a mechanical you have lots of fun, i danced the whole way! After the parade i was exhausted and sweaty, we cleaned up the area as quickly as possibly and were sent home after the managers addressed us, praising us for our efforts in the parade. We were dismissed on a very good note.
