S2 Marketing Team help promote A Christmas Carol

Dalbeattie High School S2 Mind your own Biz class have been helping with the marketing of
'A Christmas Carol'. (Kristi and Jen)

As Marketing Team we have helped design posters and display them. These are all Fun, Festive and Fantastic posters which can be seen all over Dumfries and Galloway. (Jessica and Hannah)

I have enjoyed working together with other people to write the copy for the poster. (Paul)

I enjoyed putting up the posters - I put one up at Colvend Shop, one at Barend and one at The Mariner in Kippford. And it was fun getting the group photo taken! (Sean)

We have learned how to twitter and about the Marketing 5 Ws - Where, When, What, Who and Why. We also learned how to make a good poster, and we enjoyed everything on this project. (Heather and Sarah)

We have been working on the production for 'A Christmas Carol'. We put up posters in shops near our homes and round the school. We enjoyed working with TAG. (Abby and Claire)

Ross Kennedy & Alex Sweet Reveal About Mentoring Programme

The Project started with a trip up to Glasgow to meet our mentors and have a tor of the Citizens Theatre. We arrived to be greeted by the wonderful Karen Bryce, who turned out to be out mentor.
After a quick discussion, we began the tour of a real-life, working theatre. We saw lots of people working hard as the National Theatre of Scotland were in preparing for a show.
Finally, we had another chat with Karen and began to get an idea about what "A Christmas Carol" is all about.
For the next month, we were in email contact with Karen. She gave us tasks to do and we reported back via email. The tasks included, check lighting stock, find out how the light are wired and laid out, and sourcing a scaffold tower and other bits and pieces.
Eventually the 27th of October arrived and Karen was in school and ready to roll.
We started by clearing the sage and sorting bits and pieces out. Karen then started us on the lighting design, and allocating lights to channels.
Last week, technical gear started to arrive and will continue to arrive from now on. The gear included lights, dimmers, a sound system and today some steel deck arrived.
With lost of gear coming in from here there and everywhere, it's all go and things are beginning to take shape. We are really looking forward to bringing everything together and putting on a fantastic show.
