14 January, 2014: Set List Changes, Job Roles and the Costco Trip

In this session we made some adjustments to our agreed set list as Elica and Tamara requested to switch their songs "Ignorance" (by Paramore) and "Hurt" (by Christina Aguilera) to Paramore's "The Only Exception" and Jessie J's "I Miss Her" respectively.

We also clarified each of our job roles within the group as there was some confusion. With this information we can produce an accurate flow chart which details our job roles and responsibilities and how they correspond with one another.

We discussed the dates we wanted for the date, aiming for the end of April and settling on Thursday, 1st of May at 7PM. We approved this date with our tutors but still need to confirm it with the venue. We also set our date for rehearsals of the group songs (which will feature musical contributions from everyone in the group) as every Monday from 2PM 'til 4PM.

We then turned our attention to the matter of refreshments on the night. Kian and Serena suggested people who they know who could possibly volunteer to serve condiments and beverages (both non and alcholic) - though these would be incurred at extra cost which I will have to budget for as the head of finance.

We also arranged to go to wholesale retailer Costco the following day to research the cost of food that we may wish to sell at the event so we can produce a shopping list later which is not too extravagent and reduce the likelihood of overspending - had we skipped researching and starting buy food without properly calculating how much we are likely to sell, profit margins etc...)

We arranged that either and/or both my mother and Crystal's father would chaperone us on our Costco trip - mainly because one needs to be a member of the store to purchase from there (which both of our parents are) and secondly for the free transport.

The following day, me, Kian, Serena and Crystal - transported and chaperoned by her father - made the trip to Costco to research their produce and prices. Whilst browsing I took pictures of the produce we discussed potentially buying for our  final show.

Serena informed me that she deducted £5 from our earned funds to bake produce for the next bake sale.
