Driving Forces:
In order to avoid this problem as much as possible, I have decided to ask my volunteers to be back-ups for my actors, so that if an actor is absent on an important date, the back-up can fill in. If I don't get enough of my volunteers to accept filler roles, I will turn back to the rest of the student body at our school to see if anyone might be willing to take them on. I will make sure that I have someone take attendance and such on big days for practicing so that I know specifically who is present and who is not when there is a lot of work to be done; a back-up will take the place of someone who isn't able to make it there. It is important that I have my fillers present and watching as many rehearsals as they possibly can so that they know exactly what they should be able to do if they have to take an actor's place during a rehearsal or the actual event.
We may not be prepared in time for the performance:
To make sure that our team does not have to face this problem, I will make sure that everyone is being productive during the little time we have at rehearsals. I will see to it that the actors are practicing their parts at home and with each other when we meet so that they will be ready on time for the performance as well as supervising the volunteers to make sure that they are either discussing what they can bring in or do at home and school that will carry on with background preparations. I will make sure to take any suggestions for things that the team could do to make everything easier from all of my group members and other peers that may be interested in helping me. Mr. Hoehne will be a great help to me and a big asset to our group because not only can he help with the ordinary things that need to be attended to, but he can watch over the others and offer advice along with me, creating an atmosphere of there being twice the work to get done with less goofing off. My Leadership helpers are also going to be nice to have around since they can fill in for my supervising post if I am busy or I want to help with another part of the preparation. It is mandatory that I keep reminding my project members about the important dates where certain preparations need to be completed, and that I keep a schedule for the team so that we all know just how much progress we are making.
Students may want to eat their lunches during rehearsals:
My team members and I have come to find that we are not allowed to bring food into the gym, which is our venue for meetings, and since we get together during lunch, my helpers may get hungry and want to eat. To avoid any disputes or let my teammates go through the day hungry, the most practical solution to this problem is that I dedicate at least five minutes of our rehearsals to eating outside the gym door as a group so that we don't have to spend time finding one another when we are ready to start. If there is a big problem with one or two people about needing more time, I will try to negotiate, and if that fails, I will need to let them go since it means they are not dedicated enough to the project. If multiple people have a problem, I will head out to find a new place to meet in which we could go about our business while eating lunch (I personally think that it is better to not eat during meetings because we would get less done, though).
