Gala Red Carpet Arrival
Have you ever wondered how it feels to walk down that Red Carpet at the Oscars? Photographers everywhere are vying for your attention so they can get the perfect ‘shot’ of you in all your finery (for the evening news? the tabloids? your own photo album?). Your arrival at the Gala is very much like that. We attempt to offer a bit of organization for all concerned. We have received several wonderful suggestions for improving things and we hope they will make your experience even better than ever.
The Red Carpet Arrival Area is a room designated for picture taking with reasonably decent lighting so we can see all of your magnificent handiwork. The room itself will be broken up into 2 separate areas. The Photographer Area is open to everyone that wants to take pictures of folks in costume. (Since space is a little tight, we ask that the Photographers are courteous and share the space available so everybody can get their shots.) The Model Area is open to anyone who wants to have their photo taken. We look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations as you arrive for the Time Traveler’s Gala.
For those of you who might not be attending the Gala but want to see the lovely outfits, we welcome you to find a space in the Hotel Lobby where you can view the fun. We will try to have chairs available for you. The times for the Red Carpet Arrival Area will be in your packet when you arrive for College and also posted at the Registration / Information desk.
So, bring your best outfit and lots of flash bulbs, . . . uh, . . . memory sticks and batteries!!! Yea, that’s it!!
