How to call someone on stage for speech on Independence Day?

Independence Day speech will come under both formal and informal Anchoring. The most important factors to determine your content are:

1. Time provided for a particular program.

2. The audience.

3. The agenda.This an eg of agenda cum invitation card.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 

First of all collect the agenda from the authority (School/college/Club etc). The agenda should contain the name of the shows in a chronological order and time beside it. It should also have the name of the guests who will be coming for flag hoisting.Also the name and class of the students who will be delivering speech on that day. Make sure you have these info before u start writing your script.

Once you have all information, begin writing your script.First segregate formal and informal programs.Things like welcoming the guests,flag hoisting,welcome songs, prize distributions etc will come under formal part. On the other hand folk dance , songs etc will be coming under informal/cultural part.

Now take two fresh sheets of ruling paper and start jotting down ideas.Take a particular program in mind and think about “how should I introduce the program to the audience ?”. You may make it appealing by singing patriotic lines.This will make you gain attention of the listeners.But keep track of the time because you cannot extend beyond it.Remember you just have to introduce the essence of the program to the audience. Be brief !!

Also at the end of each program you should thank the participants. Like..”thank you children for your melodious song” or “Thank you sir for your beautiful speech” etc. This is a must thing.

If you are calling any guest on stage to speak few lines then make a sober approach.Pronounce his/her name correctly.For eg:

“Now I would like to call upon stage our chief guest Mr.Sharma to enlighten the students”….{pause}….”Sir please”. Remember this “sir please” phrase is very important.

For informal part you can be louder but decent.Like “are you guys ready for the dance !!!”..etc. You can cheer the audience like..”clap guys clap”. “Vandemataram!!” etc.

An indispensable part of independence day is the March past. For this you will have to give a live commentary. For this collect the information about the troops who will be in the parade that day.Make sure you also have the name of the leaders of the troops with you. Jot down few good lines about our soldiers,their pride,their love for India etc..Like..

”kandhon se milte hain kandhe “etc..

Also have few lines ready for different troops.Say them loudly once they reach the podium.Note : Be a little louder during march past as the band might suppress your voice.

On Stage:

Few important things to be kept in mind on stage:

1.Wear proper dress.Best will be traditional dresses.You have to look good that day.

2.Write your script properly in a paper .Staple them well if you are using more papers.Separate different programs with dark lines.Have ample space in between.

3.Always keep a pen with you on stage.

4.Always be ready for a change.Anchoring is not like delivering a speech.Certain changes may happen that particular day. The programs may be interchanged, some may be cancelled,few guest might not come or some other guest might turn up. So always be agile and incorporate these changes in your script. You have to be mentally present on stage.Keep looking at your Stage in- charge for information.

5. Be confident with what you are speaking.Improvisations are always welcomed in anchoring but you should hurt the sentiments of the people.

6.Keep fillers ready. Certain programs may take time for stage set up. At that time you should have certain word to fill the gap.Never leave stage empty or silent once the show has started!

I hope this helps.........!
