The term 'BANQUET OFFICIAL' refers to two roles that are often present at banquets and other formal events. The first role is an EMCEE, which is a five-letter acronym for 'Master of Ceremonies'. This person is responsible for introducing speakers, keeping the event running smoothly, and generally ensuring that the event goes according to plan. The second role is a TOASTMASTER, which is an eleven-letter acronym for 'TOASTMASTER of Ceremonies'. This person is responsible for making sure that toasts are made at the appropriate times, as well as providing entertainment and guidance throughout the event. Both roles are essential for ensuring that a banquet or other formal event runs smoothly and successfully.
