Banquet Committee

Banquet Committee
Just a committee that throws a fancy dinner party/show for DramaTech that celebrates how hard we work, how weird we are, and how beautiful this collective art we call theatre can be.

History
Banquet is a way to celebrate all the shows and accomplishments we have done as a club over the past year. It has been recorded as happening as early as 2007 with the theme of James Bond/Casino Royale.

What does Banquet do?
We plan and put on a Banquet filled with activities, food, and a show. In true DramaTech style we just show off and have fun for this event. We give out awards to the actors, designers, and improvisors as a recognition of their great creative work and we give out gifts to technicians, house managers, and certain run crew members in recognition of their dedicated hours to making things safe and run smoothly.

Why should I get involved?
Banquet is fun, weird, and more creatively carefree than shows. It's much less of a commitment and the committee really shapes and crafts this fun event!

How to get involved
Banquet Committee has a new chair chosen every year in the spring semester. They usually determine when meetings are going to be, based on the committee members' schedules. There will be a committee call put out in the spring. After people sign up, the meetings' content is secret so that it will be a great surprise for DT members.

People can get involved without being in the committee! We usually put on an open house-like show during Banquet with short acts from DramaTech members that usually range from short skits, songs, or weird bit jokes. The banquet chair will put out an act call sometime in the spring as well.

If you want to do run crew or just help out with some of the activities or tech, just talk to the banquet chair. Freshmen are often discouraged to join because it's great to be surprised for your first banquet, but there is really no rule against it. Freshmen often give new and creative ideas since they have never seen a DramaTech Banquet!

What are Banquet leadership positions?
Banquet Chair - Put your name in for the Banquet Chair call and any opinions or ideas you want for banquet. It is ultimately the current DT president's choice of who is banquet chair. You help lead the committee in choosing ideas, hosts, and acts, and you oversee the committee into making banquet a reality.
