Several ways to celebrate graduation in grade 11. Games and competitions for graduation are considered.

Graduation ball is an unforgettable event for children and parents. After all, you will have to say goodbye to people with whom you have been communicating for 10-11 years. Girls begin to discuss outfits and shoes, almost from the beginning of the school year.

How to organize graduation in 11th grade? Organization and holding of the graduation party

It is worthwhile at the beginning of the school year to discuss and find out how the graduation party will be held. Not so long ago, any celebrations with feasts and alcoholic drinks were forbidden to be held in an educational institution. Therefore, within the walls of the native school there will be a small solemn program with congratulations and the presentation of certificates. Further, the students and their parents should take care of the festive evening.

In addition, do not forget about important details. You need to agree with:

  • Photographer
  • hairdresser
  • makeup artist
  • Buy holiday outfits
  • Order a cafe or and organize a trip
  • Write a list of all those present at the party

Where to hold graduation in 11th grade? Location of the prom

Now many do not want to celebrate graduation in a cafe or restaurant. Everyone is tired of boring drinking and partying. Many people want to spend time with benefit and get a lot of pleasure. Now many agencies for organizing holidays offer various scenarios for the celebration. They differ significantly from the standard parties in a cafe and meeting the dawn.

Graduation party options:

  • In the cafe. This is a standard place, which you need to order a few months before a significant date. Usually in April and May, all decent clubs and restaurants are already booked. It is better to book places 3-5 months in advance. Ponder with the entire menu class. It can be a buffet or a standard menu with hot dishes and snacks. Be sure to use the services of a DJ or toastmaster. All night long it will be very boring just to drink. We need a host for the evening, who will come up with interesting contests and games, and will not let everyone present get drunk until the morning
  • On the way out. It can be a camp site or a guest house by the sea. One of the most the best options, though in this case you will have to pay rent for the houses and come up with a menu yourself. In addition, the most active will have to go to the market or supermarket and purchase alcohol and all the necessary products on their own. One of the parents will have to marinate the meat. The option is not simple, as it is important to take care of the little things and clearly distribute responsibilities. So that each of the classmates is responsible for something
  • Excursion in another city or country. An easy way to celebrate in terms of organization, as travel agencies usually take on all the responsibilities for organizing transfers, accommodation in a hotel and feeding tourists
  • Water park, bowling. Recently, this version of the celebration is gaining momentum. Entertainment centers usually do not organize chic feasts. Most often it is a buffet and outdoor activities.
  • Holiday on the boat. This option is available in big cities with rivers. To celebrate, you need a large ship with a platform for dancing and feasts. In some cases, the owners of the ship offer their own food preparation services.
  • Outdoors. This is a wild vacation, when children with their parents go to nature with tents. In this case, you will have to write a list of products for each classmate so as not to forget anything



How to choose a cafe for a graduation party?

This is complex issue. So that you are not disappointed by the kitchen, and you are satisfied with the service, find out the following subtleties:

  • How many people will come to graduation
  • What kind of cuisine do the participants of the holiday prefer?
  • Event budget

After that, you can start choosing a place for the celebration. It is not necessary to immediately go to restaurants, it is advisable to just call and clarify:

  • Minimum order amount and what is included in this amount
  • Can I bring my own alcohol and other products
  • Rent paid or free
  • Is there a place for fireworks
  • Is there an extra refrigerator for a huge cake and alcohol
  • Does the restaurant have its own musicians and hosts and how much do their services cost?
  • Can I bring my own host or DJ?
  • Is there parking nearby and is it easy to get to by public transport
  • Whether the account is fixed or not. This is necessary so that on the day of the celebration you do not pay one and a half times more due to price increases.

If you figured everything out and after discussing with classmates decided that the institution is right for you, go to a cafe like ordinary visitors. Check out the interior, as almost all photos will be taken in this room. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the toilets and the sociability of the attendants. You may not like a waitress with a sour face, and the dishes will be dirty.



Menu for prom 11th grade

The menu directly depends on the cuisine of the restaurant. If you are celebrating a graduation at a grill bar, then of course, almost all hot dishes and meat will be cooked on coals.

Sample grilled menu for graduation:

  • Pork shashlik with tomato sauce, onion and lavash
  • Baked potato
  • Meat salad with mayonnaise
  • Vegetable salad
  • Pickles
  • Salted herring
  • Baked vegetables (second hot)
  • Binge
  • Juices and bread

Of course, this is the approximate simplest menu for an inexpensive cafe. If you decide to celebrate graduation in a chic restaurant, then the menu will look like this:

  • Julienne with mushrooms and chicken meat
  • Potatoes in cream
  • Sandwiches with red fish and caviar
  • Salad with Chinese cabbage and sea scallops
  • Baked trout with vegetables
  • cold cuts
  • Vegetable mix
  • Drinks, juices and bread

The cafe does not participate in the preparation of cakes, so you will have to order dessert in advance at the bakery or at home.



Competitions for graduation in grade 11

In the process of celebrating, you need to move a lot and have fun. Cheerful competitions can cheer you up.

Graduation Contests:

  • Guessing. This competition is being prepared in advance. To do this, parents select several photos of themselves and their child from a family photo album.

Games for graduation in grade 11

No holiday is possible without games and competitions. Games need to be moving and fun. They will help to maintain warm friendships after graduation.

Prom Games:

  • Vocabulary. It is necessary to divide all participants into two teams: Children and parents with teachers. That is, an adult group and girls with boys will turn out. Each team is given a set of cards with letters. The facilitator reads the definition of the word from the explanatory dictionary, and the participants must lay out the answer from the received letters. For example, who was eaten by the natives? (Cook), or a large process on a tree trunk, located on the side (bough). Questions may not be from a dictionary, but some kind of comic and funny
  • Roll call. This is fun game in which absolutely all invitees participate. In this case, each category of the hall will have to pronounce its own phrase. In this game, the following participants are: Flowers (mothers), June (fathers), Summer (grandparents), Teachers, Girls and Boys. Everyone has their own phrase, so June says “we didn’t wait”, Summer “I’m already here”, girls “I’m so dumb”, boys “yes we are”, teachers “remember us”, flowers “we are very expensive now”. Further, the presenter reads a fairy tale: “June. The long awaited summer has finally arrived.
  • The first flowers appeared. Every summer in June there is a series of graduation parties. So we have gathered in this hall together with our beloved teachers to see off our graduates: boys and girls in new life. Look at our boys. They are taut and, to begin with, serious. And girls. How beautiful our girls are in summer, like blossoming flowers. What can not be said about the teachers. But now June is over, vacations begin, and by the middle of summer our young men will not recognize their teachers, or rather they will confuse them with their girls. And, of course, to give touching bouquets of flowers to their dear, who have become relatives over the years, Teachers. At the same time, all Participants must pronounce their phrase in unison.

There are a lot of scenarios, the most important thing is that they correspond to the main theme of the party. Often a holiday is created in the style of the 60s or in nautical style. In this case, interesting contests are associated with the main topic.

How to spend a graduation party at school?

How to organize an unforgettable graduation in grade 11: tips and feedback

Initially, you need to talk with the school administration, whether it is possible to arrange gatherings with teachers at the table. If you are refused, look for a cafe or restaurant.

A few tips on how to organize a graduation:

  • Write a list of everyone who will be celebrating. Include absolutely everyone and parents and sisters if they want to go with you. Check with the cafe how many people they can take. Some rooms are designed for a maximum of 50 people
  • Book a host or DJ
  • Take care of soap bubbles and fireworks if you plan to end the holiday with them.
  • Study the menu and write a list of products that you can buy. Usually it's alcohol and cold cuts.
  • Order a cake in advance, approximately 150 g of dessert per person. Think about transportation in advance. It is better to order a rectangular cake
  • Don't forget to include teachers you'd like to celebrate with
  • It is worth remembering about gifts for the school administration and teaching staff
  • Some parents organize a separate buffet for teachers, as they do not consider it necessary to invite teachers to a restaurant or cafe along with everyone
  • Don't forget your photographer and video camera. Never trust a parent to shoot.
  • Start collecting money for the celebration from the beginning of the year, so you will have to calculate the estimated cost of the cafe, fireworks, DJ and other expenses


Organizing a holiday on your own is quite difficult, but if all the children and their parents participate, then everything will work out.

VIDEO: Graduation at school

Thanks to the wave of anti-corruption rallies that began in March this year, schoolchildren have now become perhaps the most important newsmakers: at a protest rally in Tomsk with a fiery speech a fifth grader spoke, a schoolboy from Vladikavkaz came to the E center because of a comment on VKontakte, a school director from the Bryansk region argued with students about geopolitics. The Village went to the citywide graduation in Gorky Park to anonymously talk with yesterday's schoolchildren about the agenda: about rallies, video bloggers and prohibition on the main day of the Moscow graduate.

20:30

The citywide graduation took place on the night from Friday to Saturday: a disco with the participation of Basta and Black Star label signers lasted until six in the morning. Alcohol during the farewell to the school was strictly prohibited, before the start of the holiday, the park, closed to the public, was searched several times: “The last check was at 18:00 today. Everyone who expects that some surprises could have been left here in advance - they are no longer here today. There are no problems to spend this evening in Gorky Park today in a fun and interesting way, ”Alexander Kibovsky, head of the Moscow Department of Culture, reported before the graduation ceremony.

In order to get to the territory of Gorky Park, I had to get accreditation, bypass several barricades, listen to the banter of bored riot police (“I don’t have such a beautiful bracelet”), obediently defend the briefing of a friendly employee of the park’s PR service (“You downloaded the Graduation-2017 application ?”) and finally it’s embarrassing to walk along the red carpet occupied by photographers all alone. Inside the park, a military band was waiting for me, which competed in volume with a straight barrel rumbling from the stage, volunteers with flags, clowns on stilts, and, remembered from the recent Russia Day, knights with swords fighting to the sounds of an accordion. Graduates were just starting to arrive. They were divided into groups, passed along the red carpet in portions and immediately led to a small stage where a forced interview took place: “So, what school do you represent?”

Deepening inside the still empty park, I find two schoolchildren in neat suits. Danila is interested in IT and does not want to “just sit in a closed room and stupidly earn money”, Andrey is going to enter a prestigious technical university, but he is already working - he launches airships at Dynamo Moscow hockey matches. I start talking about Navalny. "He's the best. We are looking forward to the rallies! No, of course, this is sarcasm, - Danila laughs. - We are apolitical. We know the guys who went. It’s a useless exercise, you can’t change anything anyway.”

I'm shifting the conversation to bloggers. I remember Sasha Spielberg, who recently spoke in the State Duma. "This not normal. The country is already in a mess, why make it worse?” Daniel perks up. “Bloggers do not have any education, why do they climb into the Duma?” - adds his friend. “Well, about education, I would argue - there, Wylsacom graduated from the law faculty,” Danila replies. "So what? Khovansky won, too, was finishing something! Andrey sums up. At first, classmates refuse to answer questions about alcohol. I explain that the interview is anonymous. “Well, of course, we will drink, it’s a holiday. Is alcohol prohibited? How to say. In general, yes, but when we go for a walk further, in this regard it will become easier. And if there was an opportunity to carry it here, we would, of course, carry it. ”

22:00

It starts to get dark. I return to the main entrance, trying to go around the main stage. Buses continue to pull up to the park. Schoolchildren are noisily unloaded and for some reason are transferred to a limousine clumsily painted with a pink spray can. I run into three smiling graduates - Gleb, Ira and Katya. “Insanely waiting for Yegor Creed and Mot! And Basta is a serious uncle, but his songs are sad, - Ira rejoices. - It's cool that they offered us to vote and make a choice. They voted for Mot - he is a baby doll. "Drink? And where? We were searched. In general, we are already ready, ”friends laugh.

They watch bloggers with pleasure, but they are dissatisfied with the performance of Sasha Spielberg: “They have no place in the State Duma. Sasha Spielberg bathing in chips is not cool. She performed just awful.” Navalny also does not inspire enthusiasm: “None of our people went to rallies, this is absurd. Everything in the world is unfair, so even if I went and was not allowed to take the exam the next day, what's the point? In general, there are other problems: did they really think about children when they did the exam? We have a fairly strong, specialized class, but they failed everyone. Everyone knows mathematics well, but they wrote 45–50 points as best as they could. What is there: our teachers would not have passed the exam.

Nearby are two strong graduates - Ivan and Nikita. Vanya is wearing the obligatory white shirt and ribbon, but Nikita came to the prom in a large jacket and Adidas sneakers. Concerts? If something happens, then let's go,” Nikita squints. “We want bass! - his friend adds in a hollow bass. - Do you know "Slow"? I would like to listen to such a track. “What are we interested in? Yes so. Well, what can we be interested in ... ”- the graduate in sneakers argues. “Sport! - rescues his friend. - What? Everyone! He is a hockey player and I am a boxer. I try to defuse the situation: "Guys, this is an anonymous interview." Graduates exhale: “Oh, yes, they would swell already. But we will not be in the park: they are scurrying around. In general, it was possible to carry, but conscience began to play. Let's go for a walk in the courtyards of Moscow, to the district.

23:00

“The ice is melting” is playing for the third time in the evening, the DJ turns off the sound on the chorus, the schoolchildren happily pick up. The host announces a break: “Thank you guys! Well, we continue to raise the degree ... uh, musical degree! I'm walking along the waterfront. The path to the Neskuchny Garden is blocked, I'm coming to a dead end. I meet Dima, a freckled, curly-haired graduate in a bow tie. “I'm waiting for Basta's concert. The rest is not necessary. Lineup is not relevant for young people - why call Lazarev in 2017? Dima picks up the conversation about politics with pleasure: he is going to enter the Moscow State University for political science and even went to the rally on June 12. “My friend was then detained - they just took him from the crowd and took him to a paddy wagon. Fortunately or unfortunately, at that moment I moved away a little, so I remained at large and calmly wrote exams. The desire to go to rallies has not disappeared, but why? Our constitution guarantees the right to calmly go out into the street.” The flushed graduate admits: “Well, of course, we have already drunk. It's simple: you take Coca-Cola, you add everything else there.

It's already dark in the park. I meet Dasha and Katya - girlfriends in chokers. “Here video bloggers will congratulate us - I won’t go to them, no! I don't watch them and generally consider them stupid people. The dumber their videos are, the more popular they are. This is wrong: people are deprived of values! They are already speaking in the State Duma - is this generally normal? - Dasha is indignant. Katya picks up: “And who listens to Glucose? We're not listening." Both graduates are apolitical, and they are not going to drink today: “I want to remember this day. In general, we are for a healthy lifestyle.”

Next to the volleyball court, two teenagers are sitting on the style: one in the yellow jacket of The North Face and Air Max, the other in snapback and ripped jeans through which the tattoos show through. “Do you want to talk about Navalny? Won't they take us? friends laugh. - We have a positive attitude towards him. Now they act not according to the Constitution in the country. Why the hell is she even needed?” I ask if they have heard about the rallies. “Of course you heard. My brother went there. He says that there were a lot of people and these people were, let’s say, confident.”

The guys are waiting for the performances of Basta, Mot and Creed. Then they'll drive to the club in Red October, "next to Gypsy." “Well, of course, we drank a little today, graduation. This year they're being hard at work - it's sad. But in any case, you can always have fun without alcohol,” they say.

Do you want to know what graduation traditions are in the USA, Japan, Norway and other parts of the world? Adukar will tell you how graduation is celebrated in different countries.

American Graduation

In the United States, a decent amount of money is spent on graduation celebrations, as Americans consider graduation to be a significant event. Both boys and girls dress chic on this day. A limousine is rented, in which happy graduates go to the main event - the prom. It is customary to come in pairs: according to tradition, at the end of the evening, the headmaster chooses the king and queen of the ball.

After the official part, the celebration is transferred to restaurants and hotels, where graduates walk until the morning. The party is held in a non-alcoholic format: drinking alcohol in America is allowed from the age of 21.


Americans are masters of creativity at prom

If we have girls come on last call in the form of the USSR, then young American women pick up another fashion trend and put on graduation dresses of their mothers, and even grandmothers. Ellie Johnson's spectacular outfit (right) is over 22 years old. And you won't tell, right?

Graduation in German

Graduation celebrations in Germany begin informally and even before final exams. At this time, students make fun of teachers in a friendly way, come to class in funny costumes and play pranks in every possible way at school.




After the final exams, the official part of the graduation takes place: a gala dinner and a graduation ball. The Germans spend the festival glamorous and with chic. It is attended by families of graduates, grandparents - a must.


Graduation in Japanese

School graduation in Japan is celebrated modestly. The graduation ceremony takes place in a large assembly hall, where Japanese graduates come in everyday school uniforms. After the certificates are awarded, they are divided into small companies and continue the celebration in a cafe, or return home and celebrate graduation with their families.


Graduation in Chinese

There is an unusual tradition at the end of exams in China. To get rid of memories of difficult exams, Chinese schoolchildren throw everything related to their studies out of the windows: books, notebooks, pens, pencil cases.


Graduation in Polish

In Poland, the graduation ball is held 100 days before graduation, it is called Studniowka. A luxurious hall is chosen for the celebration, the guys put on tuxedos and suits, the girls - elegant dresses and red garters. The ceremony begins with a polonaise - a solemn dance procession - led by the director paired with one of the graduates.


Graduation in Norwegian

Who-who, but Norwegian graduates know how to have fun! The school graduation celebration starts on the night of May 1st and lasts 17 days until Norwegian Constitution Day. At this time, graduates walk around the city in a special "uniform", which usually includes a T-shirt and a sweatshirt with the school's logo, caps, and overalls, often red. On it, classmates write different wishes to each other.



It is interesting that the graduation celebration in Norway is organized by the students themselves at their own expense, the school administration has nothing to do with these events.

Among Norwegian graduates, the tradition of renting or even buying a bus, decorating it in street art style, ordering a driver and traveling around the city is gaining popularity.


Perhaps the graduation in Norwegian is the most insane!

Waiting for discoveries, and revelations,

And the fulfillment of dreams.

Song being performed:

On the first fine September day

Timidly you entered under the school vaults.

First teacher and first lesson

This is how school years begin.

Wonderful school years

With a book, with friendship, with a song.

How fast they fly

You can't bring them back!

Will they fly by without a trace?

No, no one will ever forget

School years.

1st leader.

Today, from noon until evening, the birds somehow especially sang. The sun, calm, peaceful, slowly descended over a blue and somehow surprisingly wide sky. This memorable quiet summer evening seems to escort you, entering into adulthood, into a clear and calm fate. How I wish it would come true! Good luck, happiness, love, dear graduates!

The word is given to the director of the school ...

The principal of the school speaks.

2nd host

That's behind the year of your studies.

And the first rise, and the first fall ...

To ask for forgiveness ... for something!

1st presenter

May this evening before you again

The moments of the first meeting are passing by,

First friend and first love...

Everything is performed on this farewell evening.

2nd leader.

Much is already in the past for you: both the last school bell and happy ticket in final exams. Many things come to mind in these moments. When you are 17, you can safely say: 11 years school was your life. The first teacher led you by the hand into the world of knowledge. Will you ever forget her wise smile and kind hands?

The word is given to congratulate the first teacher.

Graduate (addressing the first teacher) ... (name, patronymic),

Poems for the first teacher:

Did you recognize us? look,

Here are your first graders!

We wore large satchels,

Rulers, pens and notebooks.

We remember you with love

So dear, so familiar

As a mother, you were for all of us,

And we felt at home with you.

Thank you, earth bow

Accept from all graduates

And just as carefully, loving

Teach your students.

We will remember you like this

And we can't change our memory

Graduates now in front of you

They want to bend their knees.

1st leader.

And now some statistics. During the years of study, graduates received 3333 "twos", 3331 "tens", 156 diplomas, 27 glasses were broken, 187 awards were won at olympiads and in sports competitions ... But the amount of effort expended by teachers, the amount of kindness and patience cannot be counted !

2nd leader.

Dear graduates! For 11 years, teachers have been putting grades in your diaries. Today we give you the opportunity to evaluate your knowledge of your favorite subjects yourself (offering to get numbers cut out of cardboard from the bag without looking).

Congratulations, dear graduates! May all the grades that you still receive in life be only excellent!

1st leader.

And now a little history. The creative activity of the heroes of today's celebration began in ... the year with the comprehension of the basics of reading, counting, spelling. By the end of the year, the basics were comprehended, as evidenced by the handwritten inscription made on the primer by one of the then first-graders: "Vovka is a fool." Who this mysterious Vovka was, it was not possible to find out.

2nd leader.

Having mastered the rules of grammar, future geniuses enthusiastically took up their application. The school carefully keeps a table with a rock ... excuse me, a desktop drawing and an unforgettable inscription: "Sashka + Lenka = Love." Who this Love was remains unknown.

1st leader.

Discovered in the excavations a large number of used chewing gum, most of it on teachers' clothes. Found a lot of walking boots that ran away from their owners, and a lot of invisibility hats, never found by their parents. Later, unidentified flying objects began to appear: balls, bricks, etc. The young geniuses successfully passed on their skills and abilities to the next generations of schoolchildren.

2nd leader.

11 "A", 11 "B" ... What do these numbers and letters mean to you sitting here? I'm sure a lot. Because the school class is not just a group of students, it is a spiritual brotherhood of people who have become family, for whom someone's misfortune becomes common, but also joy is one for all. Life is so amazingly arranged: today they are still nearby - graduates of the school, they are still classmates; Tomorrow they will part ways. But today's joy, which is one for all, will be remembered for a long time.

1st leader.

11 "A"! We are now ready to rejoice for you, unique 11 "A". But first you have to tell a little about yourself. And you do it with applause. I will name epithets, and you, if they correspond to the characteristics of your class, will clap. So your class:

intellectual,

clockwork,

cool,

hardworking,

modest.

Well, you have a great class! There is a song for you.

The song sounds.

2nd leader.

11 "B"! And now 11 "B" class will tell a little about itself. This is the class

economic,

resourceful,

organized,

very modest,

worthy of all praise.

Wonderful 11 ​​"B", a song sounds for you.

The song sounds.

1st leader. You learned that friendship is the most precious thing when you quarreled with your desk mate... You used to copy homework from a classmate, and when you grew up, you waited for advice from him when it was bad in life. The first book you read is also a memory from your school days.

Today you say goodbye to school, but in your memory you will remember the school years dear to the heart of everyone, your native school, your native teachers.

Everything was: both roads and hardships,

And the light of the sun, and the light of beloved eyes ...

I look back on the years

And I remember you with fondness...

I took an example from you, went for advice.

The reward was the look of your living eyes,

You gave me so much warmth and light,

That's enough to warm ten people.

You give your life to great work,

You wake up a dream in children's souls.

Thank you for living

For your deeds and thoughts beauty!

2nd leader.

The word is given to class teachers.

Class leaders speak.

Graduate

I will never be a schoolgirl again.

Don't rush to class.

Mischievous and sad bell

My last bell rang.

It rang, but in the soul there is confusion,

The girls are in tears. Why?

How we've been waiting for this moment

So many years of preparation for it!

So many years! From such first-graders

We grew and gained strength.

And so much older today

Became those who taught us good!

Graduate

If the son is first everywhere,

The stars from the sky are easily enough -

It's all parental nerves

The result is pushed to him.

If a daughter grows up to others for joy,

Clever, athlete and artist,

So this is what mom did.

She was both a mentor and a close friend.

Here they are, darling children:

Your boys and your girls

Your children, your bloodlines.

There are none more expensive, closer and more beautiful.

How many sleepless nights and days

Given to daughters and sons!

How many difficult and long years

Given to daughters and sons!

Graduate

Who loved children, caressed,

Who didn't sleep at night

Who worried about them

Parents of graduates are speaking. Then the Magister appears in a robe.

I am a messenger from the Age of Enlightenment!

Hello young talents,

I've come to see for myself

The fact that the fire of knowledge is not extinguished!

And being seriously concerned

The fate of science in the current conditions,

I intend to take an oath from the new converts.

Do you swear, O undersized tribe,

Achieve unprecedented success in work,

Do you swear not to break off communication

With school, what knowledge gave you?

Do you swear, leaving from now on

In this sad hour, the abode of enlightenment,

Do not skip all the knowledge and experience,

Received in these walls?

Graduates answer: “We swear!”

Do you swear, O young fools,

Rushing without looking back into the sea of ​​life,

Do not forget in the future alma mater,

And most importantly, her teachers?

Graduates answer: “We swear!”

Do you swear, listening to foreigners,

With ungodly words from now on

Mighty our language does not clog?

Graduates answer: “We swear!”

And if luck befalls you,

Do you swear, having become a thousand times richer,

Latest shirt from Versace

Graduates answer: “We swear!”

Do you swear, O young tribe,

Do not consume a single drop of alcohol

And tobacco from today?

Graduates answer: “We swear!”

Storm them without fear - I wish you ...

Graduation balls in kindergartens and schools have long become an indispensable ritual for children and their parents. A wonderful stage of transition from one age group to another, more adult, is always celebrated brightly, spectacularly, significantly.

Unfortunately, in various economic categories of the population of our country, these graduation balls are held in different ways. First of all, of course, this is due to the budgets invested by parents and partly by themselves. educational establishments At this holiday.

It is no secret that the market is divided into segments, and in the organization of graduation balls, it has its own distinctive features in different segments.

Sergei Knyazev, organizer of corporate and private events, comments:

Budgets in the "economy" segment, as a rule, are no more than 1,500 - 3,000 rubles per graduate. In the "business" segment, budgets from 3,000 to 15,000 rubles for everyone who will celebrate their graduation. In the premium segment, graduates spend from 15,000 rubles to 50,000 and more.

It should be noted that graduation balls in 2015 for the most part will be more modest than in the previous two years.

In the "economy" segment, the most severe fall in budgets, which are now close to the lower limit of 1,500 rubles per graduate.

In the business segment, there are also budget cuts, but only in terms of inviting pop stars to prom programs.

There are almost no changes in the premium segment.

The location of the graduation ball is, as a rule, a vivid illustration of the state of affairs in this category of national holidays. Many graduation balls in the "economy" segment are traditionally celebrated in the assembly hall of the school, where only the solemn part takes place, and after schoolchildren are provided with buses to drive around the city and continue the holiday with walks and photo sessions in parks, in places of national glory (near monuments), and sometimes on boats along the river.

In the premium segment, tables are an example of haute cuisine, often prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.

In the “business” segment, after the solemn part at the school, graduates go for a photo shoot to the monuments of glory or to observation platforms of the city, and then to restaurants or banquet ships (motor ships-restaurants), where teachers and parents are waiting for them with a prepared program of a magnificent ball. Restaurants and banquet halls for proms in this segment are selected with an emphasis on the status and prestige of the place or brand of the institution.

In the premium segment, the most expensive and most closed venues are most often chosen for the prom. Often these are country closed boarding houses, yacht clubs or restored old estates with luxurious infrastructure.

More than anything else, prom treats characterize this or that segment. So, for example, in the “economy” segment, it either comes down to snacks in small lunch boxes, which are given to graduates on the road from school to places of outdoor festivities, or to a minimal buffet after the official part in schools.

The tables in the "business" segment are served in a completely different way, where the banquet includes all the traditional ingredients - from cold appetizers to an elegant birthday cake.

In the premium segment, the tables are an example of haute cuisine, often prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. The cake here is always fantastically large and wonderfully beautiful.

Alcoholic drinks at graduation balls are everywhere only for adults (teachers and parents). The exception is a small amount of champagne for high school graduates. Of course, the brands of sparkling wines in different segments are different.

At all graduation balls, they try to prepare an art program for the official part and the informal part. However, in most schools in the country, this program is being prepared by school amateur performances, using numbers of talented schoolchildren and teachers in it. Only in the "business" and "premium" segments is the art program worthy of overshadowing the best TV shows and concerts organized on significant days for the country. Despite the fact that this year they refuse to perform at the balls of pop stars, a huge number of professional artists are involved in bright thematic or classic show programs for graduates. So, for example, in several private colleges, balls are prepared for graduates in the style of Natasha Rostova - with candelabra, butlers in historical costumes, a live symphony orchestra and other attributes of that romantic era. In several more private schools, the Ball will be held in a concept that reflects the teaching orientation of these schools: "Math Ball", "Chemistry Ball", "Diplomatic Ball". And in one elite kindergarten for little graduates there will be a "Magic Ball" based on the book about Harry Potter.

Egor Dobrogorsky, the organizer of corporate events, comments:

Any event, be it corporate or private, can be held without the participation of star guests. Stars can be invited to a brand presentation or opening ceremony, where the status of the event is raised with the help of media people.

As a rule, the graduation party is organized by the forces and means of the parents, and not everyone is ready to pay a tidy sum for a half-hour performance by a youth idol. Last year, the favorite at all graduations was the singer Nyusha, this year the project of Konstantin Meladze MBAND, the IOWA group.

Above all, the prom should demonstrate to parents and teachers what their children have learned in 11 years of schooling. A star guest can become an addition, but in no case should it be the main focus of the holiday. Still, graduation is not a concert. Instead of one star, you can invite several interesting and no less talented musical groups.

Children are a very thin audience, therefore, when organizing a prom, it is imperative to balance the interests of graduates: musical preferences, hobbies, clothing style, etc. Any properly selected detail during preparation can significantly affect the outcome of the entire event.

Or you can arrange a graduation in the style of a talent contest, where each of the graduates will perform with a creative number: someone sings well, someone waltzes well. An entertaining show program can be filled with interesting master classes, thematic competitions, etc.

An alumni event can be organized in the format of a social reception or a film award ceremony. Red carpet, photographers, competition for the most Nice dress among graduates, a competition for the best dance, the choice of the king and queen of the school ball, etc.

The location of the prom depends on the concept of the event. If this is a secular reception or a film award, loft venues, exhibition halls, and creative spaces are suitable.

A festive banquet depends both on the budget and on the concept of the event. For a graduation party, it is most appropriate to make a buffet with light snacks. And at the end of the evening, take out a birthday cake.
