Sigma Chi Spring Formal 4-20-13
Calling myself a New Jersey DJ means I cover the entire state. This weekend that meant making a two hour trek to the Ron Jaworski's Blue Heron Pines Golf Course in Egg Harbor City.

That's ok I installed a top notch sound sytem in my van, and I have an upcoming cruise vacation so I sang along with Bob Marley & company on the commute. The event was the Spring Formal for the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Staff members advised me that they had another fraternity formal the previous night and now had switched over to plastic cups as the previous night's guests had broken many glasses on the dance floor. I new I was in for a good time! The evening's musical selections were an eclectic mix of everything from 90's alternative tracks to Top 40, and suprisingly a heavy amount of country as requested. Having a 45,000 song and growing musical library updated on a weekly basis comes in handy at parties such as these. I must say I really enjoyed the diverse selections.

Some memorable moments of the night included the entire group singing the "sweetheart" song to the girl who was selected as such for the event.

Also the group requested Frank Sinatra's "My Way" to honor the seniors, and also bring the couples out to the dance floor.

The key closing tracks of the night were Livin on a prayer-Bon Jovi and what was supposed to be the end all song of the night Don't stop believin- Journey......

...but like any epic party where the participants are unwilling to let the good times go and start chanting in unison for one more song, I was more than happy to oblige. In keeping with the heavy dose of country the song of choice was Wagon wheel-Darius Rucker!

I started a fine Saturday in early spring with a seven mile run. As a mobile DJ transporting , setting up & breaking down large pro  sound systems one must keep himself in top physical condition to be able to withstand the wear & tear on the body. Actually I really just enjoy eating. Next up I wanted to get into the mindset of the ultimate entertainer who can build the crowd into a partying frenzy. This required popping in my Tom Jones live at Cardiff Castle concert DVD. tdj.jpgThe ultimate showman! I'll admit I was a little tired, but ready to get the party started as I was headed out to Royce Brook Golf Club in my hometown of Hillsborough for Anna's sweet 16. I must say I do enjoy hometown gigs with little or no commute! For this party I was going with my all out sweet 16 package with a new twist. The top end sound was provided by my JBL three way's and the bump was put into the dance floor by my thousand watt JBL sub, you really can feel it in your chest! Add in an LED multicored REVO light, a laser light to create dancing beams of light on the ceiling & a strobe light, and you have yourself one heck of a shindig. The new twist was that I brought along my Sony Digital SLR camera with tripod that I had recently boned up on to capture some high resolution dance floor images.  The theme of the night was "masquerade"

The music was geared towards Top 40 & much to my delight hard rock. Many of the kids including the birthday girl were huge Led Zeppelin fans. There were many points in the evening where partygoers were rocking their air guitars to such Zeppelin favs as "Whole Lotta love" and "Livin lovin maid"

With any high energy party there are usually key songs that close out the night with the crowd at the height of their  partying frenzy, this night's were Dirty bit by the Black Eyed Peas, & Don't stop believing by Journey.
