Script For A Corporate Event
Script For A Corporate Event
An organisation called EagleBurgmann required a script for their annual day, they wanted their employees to host
the show however, they wished to procure a script from an experienced Anchor and hence, I was called upon for
the job.
To be honest I rarely ever write scripts because I usually work on an on the spot basis or improvisation, however,
as these were not experienced Emcees, I wrote down not only a script but in between tips to help them on stage.
Hope you find it helpful too...

Huge round of applause!
Jordar taliya!

importance i.e. only after one person is on stage call the next)

start the performances
Emcee 3:- Now that the lamp is Lit, its now time to have a small prayer in the lords name.
(If the prayer dance is on Ganpati)
In Indian tradition, out of all the gods and goddesses, we always pray to lord ganesha frst, and there is a reason
for that Does anybody know the reason? (Rhetorical)
The reason for this is in Lord Ganeshas name
Lord Ganesha/ Ganpati as we call him fondly is also called as the Vignaharta
The meaning of Vighnaharta is the one who destroyes obstacles
Hence, to make sure we do not encounter any kind of obstacles our way, we too today shall begin our annual
gathering by remembering Lord ganeshas name
And for this, we shall have the the Mumbai team, from the capital of Maharashtra and the place where every
second house has a ganpati Idol, please come on the stage
So Everybody, Please put your hands together, up in the air, and welcome the Mumbai team as loud as we can!!!
Cmon everybody!!!
Important tip;- The emcee needs to have complete energy while welcoming anyone on the stage and Its okay to
be loud to bring about the energy in you, also all Emcees to remember to hold the mic extremely close to your
mouth, it can be as close as almost touching your lips. This will help the Emcee to attain maximum clarity. It is
also recommended that the emcees try the mic and check it once before going on stage so that the speakers
dont come as a surprise to them when they talk.

Aaj ki sham ki shuruvat hi itni jordar hui hai toh aaj ki sham kitni jordarr hogi???

Lets welcome a bit of Japan here on this stage with us!!!
(Emcee exits Japanese act enters)
Raga theme Act:
Music is one thing that connects people all around the world, because music knows no language, music knows
no religion and it goes straight to the heart.
Most people when asked what is their hobby, would definitely have listening to music or playing an instrument in
their list, thats how deeply music touches us.
For me, I believe music is no different from breathing,
Because I cannot live without breathing ,
And I definitely cannot live without music.
This lovely evening, lets breath together, lets dance with joy together!
Uptill now weve had a dance performance, an act by our singapoorean and Japanese counterparts that we
deeply enjoyed, a stand up act with ___________, so now Its time for some music.
The history of Indian music is simply beautiful and weve had some really talented artists since centuries who
have been born here and given their beautiful gift of music to this world
Yes,,, Im talking about meera bai, with her Sitar, lost in Krishnas thoughts
Or imagining Tan sen in the royal palace,
Or Lata mangeshkar with voice like a nightangle,
Or A.R. Rehman with his Oscars.
Let us welcome the Raga Act, full of music, Full of Life!
Lets begin by listening to the encouraging music of some claps from the audience.. Can we?
