Fundrasing:
Once we found a suitable studio and producer, the next step was to get money to fund these. I didn't realise before just how expensive these things would be, so Karan, Eddy and I had to come up with a good idea to fundraise all this money. We thought that having a Christmas themed dress up day would be a good idea as it was approaching Christmas and for the last day of term we thought it would be a good idea for everyone to dress up in Christmas colours-red, green and white. We asked people to bring 5,000 shillings each if they dressed up. This fundraising activity required me to work collaboratively with Karan and Eddy as we had to find an efficient way of collecting the money as it was the last day of term so we had to make sure we got all the money on that day. Prior to the day, we all had to make sure people knew about it, this required us going around to classes and telling them why we were raising the money, this also gave us a good opportunity to start spreading the word about Arnold. Through this particular fundraising activity, I learned good communication skills as well as organisational ones as we did in fact manage to get everyone who dressed up to pay. I think that this was possible because of the good coordination and cooperation between Karan, Eddy and I and through this activity we all learned how to work well with each other and take responsibily for different tasks. This was one of the first times that I had planned and initiated an activity, it went really well as we managed to raise 500,000 which was going to help us a lot in recording the songs.
