In Bangladesh, there was a tradition to welcome any big political guest, including our country's president. Every time they come to our country, sometimes when they leave the airport, some primary school kids go to the airport and mostly perform dances and songs. The guest stood to watch them for a few seconds. Then went to the airport or airplane. The kids were mainly brought from the academic centre (Where they learn dance and other cultural activities) or directly from the school. They don't get paid. But they got free pick and drop service from the academy and free lunch or snacks.
Those kids' main prize was to view on the TV news. BTV (Bangladesh Television, the government TV channel) was the only available television channel on those days, and they showed the news of the guest or presenter's arrival or departure. The kids and their family wait to watch the 8 pm news in front of the TV. During news, the story about the arrival news may exist a couple of second, in that time frame may be half second they showed the Kid's dancing at the airport. During that time, only the family members could identify which one was their kid, and they became very proud that their kid is now on the TV.
Every time I did this kind of performance, we all eagerly waited in front of the TV and watched the news. Sometimes, we watched the English news at 10 p.m. because they might show that performance a little longer.
