Tropers/{{PaulDouglas}}: I was put in charge of organising and presenting the Graduation Show for my year at Sixth Form (British equivalent to High School) which involved arranging the elements of the show, putting them together, sourcing resources, writing things to say etc. and then actually going up on stage to host the event. Literally days before it was due to take place, the staff of the College (Who had been, up till this point, entirely fine with everything and had greenlit every move along the way) suddenly started asking for various changes, most of which related to taking things they saw as controversial out - even those I'd already had them agree to and prepared for. Annoyingly, this included things like non-academic awards which would have made the show a bit more funny and lively. More aggravatingly, they also suddenly told me - with something like two hours to go before I went onstage - that they wanted the academic awards to be shown onscreen only (set to music) and not read out awards-show style. This despite the fact I'd had them agree to doing it the awards show way twice. Including the day before. I felt that since most of the variety I'd had in the show had been lost, another segment which was all sitting watching the screen whilst listening to music (I'd filled out the show with photo montages) was going to be dull - especially since this one would last more than ten minutes. In the end, the show must go on, so I poured my heart into making what was left of my vision for the event great, but I was left thinking about what might have been. In my head, it had been way more exciting.
