Not only did she call to invite you, but she also needs your help planning it. There’s a lot to do: renting the hall, getting food, sending out invites, and more! You friend’s mother put you in charge of the entertainment- the music during the party as well as the surprise performance for the celebratory dance half way through. She said you can pick anyone you want to perform at the party- but remember there’s a budget and a crunch for time! It’s up to you to make the entertainment a hit!
