Mitzvah Madness…

The past few weekends have been filled with Mitzvahs. Please forgive the hiatus in posts and pics, but I try to keep the younger crowd’s faces off the Internet. I have an upcoming gig at the SEIU convention that I should be able to post, though.

Stay tuned!

Prairie View HS Prom @ Sherman Street

A classic building for a landmark event for these kids. Rumor has it that the Sherman Street complex was one of the first buildings in Denver to have electricity. We were lucky that it was built to last; the kids put the floor to the test during the ‘stomp’ section of the Cha Cha Slide.

The crowd ranged from hip-hop to bachata, country to dubstep. I hear at least one couple arrived by horse and carriage! The highlight of the entire night was when crowd bonded around their prom king in a truly inspirational display of friendship inclusion.

Beckett Bat Mitzvah @ Infinity Park Events Center

An enjoyable and informative event; the theme was important/successful/inspirational Jewish women in history. LOTS of vendors in attendance; barely any room for me! This was a Dance Trax Entertainment event, so there was more lighting, dancers, and an emcee involved in the festivities…

Niwot HS Prom @ Folsom Field Clubhouse

SOTR sent me with one of their big sound packages and lights. The setup seemed massive, but it was necessary to cut through the mass of kids- the dance floor stayed packed all night. It appears that dubstep is falling out of favor with the younger crowd: only 2 requests, plus one written demand for NO MORE!

There was a sorority formal in the other club level banquet hall, but our sound left them speechless…

Hispanic Contractors of Colorado Awards Banquet @ Grand Hyatt-Denver

This was a short notice ‘cover’ of an event where I was not originally selected to entertain, but stepped into the role without hesitation. I wish I had taken more pics since the Mayor of Denver and Lt. Governor of Colorado were in attendance (I think they left after their speeches), but I only snapped this quick shot of the dance floor…

Winter ‘Semi-Formal’ @ Berthoud High School

This event was under Sounds of the Rockies. Since they have me doing school events and weddings, I try not to post photos of their events. With students being involved, I am really serious about avoiding issues with posting pics of the schools and their students. With weddings, it is more about maintaining the privacy and intimacy of the wedding day for the couple; I may take photos of the venue and setup before the event, though.

Furthermore, SOTR has me use their equipment (speakers & lights) for school which doesn’t reflect what my own typical setup is for events. I don’t want to give the perception that my personal system is larger by presenting their setup as my own. I run a very powerful and compact package, but theirs is much more involved.

Westin Staff Holiday Party @ The Westin-Westminster

An evening of gratitude, gifts, gambling, and getting down! It was supposed to happen a day earlier, but I have a feeling they moved it so everyone could watch Tebow and The Broncos.

Law Office holiday party @ ‘Mile High Station’

In the shadows of I-25, I-70 & ‘Sports Authority Field’ at Mile High. A VERY nice place…
