Report - October 2017

First semester I wrote for the course Practical Language a report on music festival ČESKE HRADY. I decided to include this, because it was my first writing at Masaryk University. And I think I did pretty well even though I have never been to music festival. The only hard  thing was writing with more advanced vocabulary than I used to write at high school.   

Report on music festival ČESKE HRADY
Introduction
The​ ​ aim​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ report​ ​ is​ ​ to​ ​ describe​ ​ and​ ​ summarise​ ​ the​ ​ organisation​ ​ of​ ​ a​ ​ music​ ​ festival ČESKE​ ​ HRADY.​ ​ ČESKE​ HRADY​ ​ is​ ​ a​ ​ name​ ​ of​ ​ series​ ​ of​ ​ concerts​ ​ held​ ​ during​ ​ summer season​ ​ at​ ​ the​ ​ famous​ ​ castles​ ​ of​ ​ Czech​ ​ Republic.​ ​ This​ ​ report​ ​ is​ ​ based​ ​ on​ ​ festival​ ​ in Rožmberk​ ​ nad​ ​ Vltavou,​ ​ which​ ​ was​ ​ happening​ ​ from​ ​ the​ ​ fourth​ ​ to​ ​ the​ ​ fifth​ ​ of​ ​ August. 

Positive Aspects 
In​ ​ the​ ​ first​ ​ place​ ​ I​ ​ would​ ​ like​ ​ to​ ​ highlight​ ​ good​ ​ advertisement,​ ​ which​ ​ goal​ ​ of​ ​ 6000​ ​ people​ ​ was achieved​ ​ and​ ​ exceeded​ ​ over​ ​ 1450. Despite​ ​ the​ ​ large​ ​ attendance​ ​ we​ ​ succeeded​ ​ in​ ​ many​ ​ difficult​ ​ tasks​ ​ -​ ​ we​ ​ managed​ ​ to organise​ ​ about​ ​ 21​ ​ concerts​ ​ (on​ ​ two​ ​ stages​ ​ in​ ​ two​ ​ days),​ . We​ ​ offered​ ​ many​ ​ types​ ​ of accommodation​ -​ from​ ​ place​ ​ for​ ​ tents​ ​ of​ ​ guests,​ ​ to​ ​ small​ ​ cottages​ ​ for​ ​ reasonable​ ​ fee​ ​ or​ ​ to comfortable​ ​ hotel​ ​ rooms​ ​ in​ ​ town.​ ​ We​ ​ also cooperated​ ​ with​ ​ many​ ​ sponsors. We​ ​ ensured​ ​ good quality​ ​ of​ ​ sanitation​ ​ by​ ​ renting​ ​ many​ ​ portable​ ​ toilets,​ ​ showers,​ ​ wash​ ​ basins​ ​ and​ ​ cleaning them​ ​ on​ ​ regular​ ​ basis.  And​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ end​ ​ I​ ​ must not ​ forget​ ​ to​ ​ mention​ ​ many​ ​ good​ ​ responses​ ​ on​ ​ quality​ ​ and​ ​ diversity​ ​ of food​ ​ and​ ​ drinks.

Negative Aspects 
Due​ ​ to​ ​ the​ ​ size​ ​ of​ ​ our​ ​ festival​ ​ we​ ​ did​ ​ not​ ​ cover​ ​ many​ ​ small​ ​ details,​ ​ which​ ​ would​ ​ make​ ​ it much​ ​ more​ ​ comfortable.​ ​ The​ ​ most​ ​ obvious​ ​ example​ ​ was​ ​ the​ ​ amount​ ​ of​ ​ people​ ​ walking​ ​ from the​ ​ nearest​ ​ 2​ ​ kilometres​ ​ far​ ​ bus​ ​ stop​ ​ and​ ​ complaining​ ​ on​ ​ small​ ​ quantity​ ​ of​ ​ transport. Another​ ​ example​ ​ of​ ​ not​ ​ managing​ ​ everything well​ ​ was​ ​ lack​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ relaxation​ ​ areas​ ​ with​ ​ WI-FI. 

For the future - Conclusion 
To​ ​ sum​ ​ up,​ ​ it​ ​ is​ ​ clear​ ​ that​ ​ the​ ​ festival​ ​ was​ ​ very​ ​ successful.​ ​ I​ ​ think​ ​ we​ ​ are​ ​ aware​ ​ of​ ​ many pitfalls.​ ​ For​ ​ this​ ​ reason​ ​ I​ ​ believe​ ​ that​ ​ next​ ​ year​ ​ we​ ​ will​ ​ solve​ ​ many​ ​ of​ ​ them​ ​to​ find​ ​ many others.
