Here’s a video from the Menno, SD High School Prom that I DJed on 4/10/10.

Great dance!

A video from the Montrose HS Prom that I DJed on 3/27/10. Even though I was sick, the dance was a lot of fun!

I just got done shoveling snow (again) and thought I would take a few minutes to update this blog. Even though “wedding season” has been over for a few months, I had a handful of weddings over the last couple of months.

At the end of January, I made the drive to Pierre, SD to DJ a Renaissance themed wedding reception at View 34. If you haven’t been to View 34 in Pierre, I highly recommend checking it out – it’s a beautiful building that has an amazing view. The reception that I DJ’ed was fairly small, and the bride and groom were a fantastic couple. To match the theme, I wore a costume that I rented from Dakota Costume here in Sioux Falls. If you need a costume for anything, I highly recommend visiting them. Their service was great, and I got just what I needed at a very fair cost.

Here’s a pic of my outfit:

On February 6th, I DJed a wedding reception at Chef Dominiques in downtown Sioux Falls. Another great venue, but it’s a little challenging for DJs. The dancefloor is in a separate room from the dinning area, so I had to make a few announcements on the “dining room” PA in order to move the guests out to the dance area for the first dances. Plus, the ceiling was rather low, and the DJ setup area is a little tight, but I altered my setup a bit and made it work. The bride and groom told me to not worry if nobody danced, since they didn’t expect a dancing crowd, but it ended up being a very lively crowd that danced the night away. They requested that I not play the typical wedding songs and also lay off of the hip-hop and country. So, the playlist consisted of a bunch of great danceable oldies and soul. It did have its challenges, but the night ended up going great!

Here’s a couple of pictures of the dancefloor before dancing began. I ended up using my Colorstrips as a “wall wash” and placed my moving heads on the floor behind the speakers to spotlight the disco ball.

Up next is a dance at SE Technical Institute with my good friend Jeff on Feb 24th. After that, I have a total of 6 Proms before the wedding season gets underway in May.
