Quick Vision of the Show
●
I am a big advocate on giving back to the community. In addition, many people do not know
why we step. It's historical purpose. In this action plan, we will be able to give back to the
community, have a step show which explains why we step, all while having it during
Homecoming! My plan allows each org to be introduced by a poet quickly explaining their
history/prominent values before entering to perform & a video clip explaining why our
organizations partake in stepping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEekYErneRQ /

Marketing Purposes
○
Jordan doesn't make shoes for every person that wants a pair. The same logic applies
to this year’s step show. 800 people are guaranteed to come, purely off word of mouth.
The others who are unable to get in should be encouraged to come to the after­party,
which can hold over 1,000 people. The thought of having a step­show during
homecoming is already huge progress for our council. In 2014 we can look into
securing a larger venue for the show.
