EPMSA July 4, 2023 by https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt After Event Review of the Salute to the Red, White and Blue en-us 2023-07-10 22:39:49 UTC 2025-11-03 13:58:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Keep Kids Zone Free shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642086657 Parents overwhelmingly were happy that we had a free kids area. They said that none of the EP concerts ever has had a free kids area. ]]> 2023-07-10 22:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642086657 Seating in Kids Zone shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642086736 Tables and chairs and tents definitely kept people over there. Most people stayed to watch fireworks from the kids area which I think helped to spread out the crowds. ]]> 2023-07-10 22:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642086736 Improvement Areas shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642086803 -There were long lines at the inflatables beginning at 8pm. Maybe we have one or two more?
-Would like a couple of vendors over there for snacks for kids. Maybe even just a concession stand style booth with chips and hot dogs. Could be a fundraiser for EPMSA if there isn't a vendor that would want to do it. 
-Need two volunteers per inflatable.
-Change the checkpoint to be before kids area entrance and shore up the side barricades if we really want to security check everyone.

Having fewer food vendors was helpful and easy to maintain. ]]> 2023-07-11 00:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642124514 Music Volume shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642130982 Music volume was very loud early in the day before the crowd filled in. ]]> 2023-07-11 00:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642130982 Security Check Point shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642131788 Security check point helped to keep outside food and beverage from entering the event. This may have helped with vendor sales. ]]> 2023-07-11 00:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642131788 Activities for Older Kids shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642134204 Think about activities for older students/teens, consider a gaming truck. ]]> 2023-07-11 00:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642134204 End of Night Checklist shelbiaking https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642142088 Develop a pre-determined set of tasks for close out at the end of the night. 
Assign board members to each task to ensure a quick event close-out. ]]> 2023-07-11 00:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/EPMSA/s72lbw8q5ss9u8xt/wish/2642142088
