Graduation ceremonies require a lot of planning and organizing on the part of schools. A venue has to be selected, tickets need to be distributed/sold, guest speakers need to be invited, diplomas and programs need to be prepared, and last but not least, transportation needs to be arranged. While most of these tasks will require minute details and lots of work on the part of the Graduation Committee, transportation doesn’t have to be a time-consuming task if you consider hiring ESCOT’s charter buses and shuttles for your Orlando or Tampa Bay area ceremony.
A lot of graduation ceremonies are not on school campuses because a larger or more formal venue is often needed to accommodate all of the guests. But with these off-site ceremony locations, transportation problems often arise. Teachers, parents, and students may be unfamiliar with the venue, causing them to get lost or arrive late to the ceremony. Parking may be difficult or expensive, especially for so many attendees. And even after they park, directions from parking locations to the actual ceremony venue may be unclear to guests, further delaying their arrival and making what should be a very special day, a very stressful one.
But when you hire charters and shuttles to bring presenters and guests to your ceremony, you eliminate all of those problems. Timing, route planning and managing traffic in the Orlando or Tampa Bay area will be left in the hands of ESCOT’s professional drivers, leaving anxious students and parents free from the extra stress driving to an unfamiliar location can bring. Parking will no longer be an issue for you to coordinate or for your guests to deal with since ESCOT buses will drop off and pick up all guests at designated times. And since you know exactly where all guests will be arriving, you can arrange for signs and ushers to help guide your guests to the ceremony location. What could have been a chaotic scene is easily turned into a well-planned event.
Additionally, when all graduation attendees arrive by charter or shuttle, you can guarantee that they will arrive together and will be accounted for ahead of time, allowing your ceremony to run smoothly and on schedule. Imagine trying to line up all of the faculty and graduates for the entrance procession when large numbers of them are running late or altogether lost. ESCOT can help you avoid that completely.
Graduation should be an exciting time for schools and students, not a stressful one. To help ensure your event runs smoothly from beginning to end, consider ESCOT shuttle and charter rentals for your transportation needs.
