Sebring chose a GREAT theme this year that involved black lights, lasers, glowsticks.. “Glow Crazy.” Unfortunately, the emergency lights couldn’t be off the entire night, but that didn’t stop the students from rocking out all night.

Even our smallest package, with a few upgrades, surpassed everyone’s expectations of what a school dance company should bring out. Everyone had a blast dancing this year, including the teachers who had to join in on the fun!

This is by far one of the most high energy dances ever…. it was infectious! CCHS chose our ShowStopper TripleDecker, but because of ceiling height, they opted for smaller screens and more sound. The Royal Plaza Hotel was amazing to work with again… no haze permit fees, loading dock goes straight into the ballroom, and lots of power available at no extra charge!

4SO partnered up with our laser tech, Bob Moore, to create a stunning laser show that Orlando schools haven’t seen yet.

Our Snap Yourself Silly photobooth was used nonstop and our lightup cocktail tables were a hit!

Check out the countless number of photos as well as setup time lapse and event summary below. PHENOMENAL!

Leeanne and Paul are an awesome couple. I love people who I can joke with and not worry so much about being a stuffy professional– I felt like I was able to relax and really have fun with this whole crowd. The whole night was amazing as we got to set up an entire nightclub at this wedding. Here’s the list of what we set up:

• 4 lit up columns around the dance floor with moving heads on them
• Blue laser
• Color-changing uplighting
• LED Floods
• Aerial effects lights
• Haze to bring it all together
• 2 Realistic Water Reflection Effects on the dance  floor.
• Game Show system customized with questions about Leeanne and Paul
• …and slide shows!

Oviedo wanted an out of this world homecoming… and that’s why their theme was Space. The students expressed a lot of complaints on last year’s music and they really wanted to focus on an amazing set of DJs to complement a big light and video show. Well, with DJ Chevy outside (300+ people dancing in 35º weather) and DJCraziAce (yay me!) on the inside, coupled with a giant 14′ video screen, the biggest light show Seminole County has seen, glow in the dark bubbles, and concert-grade lasers… I think it’s safe to say that the goal was achieved. Not to mention that three BlissLights flooded the ENTIRE gym ceiling and walls with stars.

While DJ Chevy held it up outside, Monica and Derek ran the lighting and Bob created an amazing array of laser shows using two areal lasers and one graphics laser on the screen. Nate brought our Snap Yourself Silly photobooth which was a popular hit!

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!?!?

Exactly TWO hours after Adam and Bethany’s wedding in Lakeland, I had to be at New Port Richey for this homecoming. Of course, we set everything up the night prior!

This setup was very similar to Ocoee’s homecoming minus the 69 Boyz. Mitchell High also chose to use Leikos to do fire and ice projections, matching uplights, flames on either side of the screens, glowing spandex triangles, and 1000 red and blue glowsticks. Last but not least, despite Pasco’s no haze rule, we still used our huge laser system to do graphics. Bob (our laser tech) got very creative at this show!

The response of course was huge and 1000+ students had a total blast!! We’ll be back to do their prom once again– it’ll be amazing!

I don’t think the Royal Plaza in Orlando knew what their venue could be REALLY transformed to…. heck, I didn’t even know. With my amazing team (Monica, Derek and Charles), we created an out of this world experience for Cypress Creek High!

What did they get? Amazing lights around the entire dance floor, black lights, glow in the dark bubbles, stars on the ceiling, clouds during the King & Queen dance, spandex pulls, a photo booth, video screen with live video and ambients to complement the music videos, uplights, color-changing tables…. annndd, get ready for it: The most powerful lasers available for school dances. (Update: We’ll be offering an even bigger pair in blue for multiple colors!)

The students were amazing and the energy level was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Check out the photos and video below!!!

(The video is very shaky… apologies ahead of time, but there was so much energy that everyone, including my crew, were jumping!)

What a fun group… then again, I know most of them!

Adam used to come to my skating rink all the time and is also a good friend.

We’re also doing his wedding on October 16th…

He’s also a DJ for our company.

So of course his fiancé, and guest of honor tonight, Bethany became part of the gang.

As for everyone else? Quite a few worked/went to the skating rink and the rest I saw at Casey and Jeff’s wedding!

The setup was simple… couple of black lights, a Bliss, FatBeam lasers, Triphases… but the results were spectacular thanks to our amazing Hazer. This was held at the Bramble Ridge in Lakeland, where my wife‘s party was also thrown!

People drank. People danced. People drank. People danced more. People drank even more. You get the hint. Luckily, my good friends here are party drunks… they more they drank the harder they partied!

I will give you a warning on the video below.. it has some unedited music. Be careful watching this at work!

The 4SO and Thrill Da Playa & HB Fraternity tour continues onto Cypress Creek High’s “I Promised You the Stars” Prom 2009 hosted at the Wyndham Palace in Orlando, Florida.

After speaking with the SGA about their concerns with their last DJ and dance, I knew we had the perfect recipe to take it to the next level. Adding Thrill da Playa from world-famous group 69 Boyz was the extra special ingredient that really stirred the night. (You can tell I’m hungry as I write this, lol)

The setup was beautiful and was going to utilize our dry ice “dance on the clouds” system with our starfield laser (the original Blisslight, not a cheap knockoff laser). However, complications with acquiring a fire permit would not allow the use of that. CCHS was not worried, they knew that we would still deliver an amazing light show without haze and help carry their theme without the dry ice.

That we did!! We worked our butts off to make sure every corner of that room was lit! Even if all the lights went off, we had enough black lights to illuminate every part of the ballroom. It looked great!

Dinner was fun as we entertained the students using a very customized playlist and entertainment “secrets” we use to keep everyone on their toes. You’ll see in the first video how loud the room got when we announced that it was time to dance.

A mostly Hispanic school, we played reggaeton, Salsa, Merengue, and sprinkled in a few bachatas. We didn’t deny the large Jamaican population as we played smash hits like Dutty Wine, Signal Di Plane, Follow Di Leader, and my personal favorite: Welcome to Jamrock.

A surprising big hit of the night was *N Sync’s Bye Bye Bye. Don’t believe me? Check out the YouTube video!

This was my last prom for 2009, but the 4SO tour continues on to many other schools.

So click below and see all the photos we took as well as some video highlights. They’re short videos!

Hardee was real special this year… why? Because this was the senior prom for one of our very own: Derek! Alonso and I tore it up on the dance floor, playing all the big hits as well as classic throwbacks. This is the only school that requests Cumbia so I got to play a few smash hits including my personal favorite, Kumbia Kings.

This was done at the Wauchula Civic Center. The decorations (which were stunning) were done by the students, parents, and faculty.

It was a slow start, like last year, but once they were in it was blown out of proportions. The haze really made the lasers pop.

Perhaps the most stunning prom I’ve ever been a part of. Hudson High School transformed the Harborview Center in Clearwater into Club 0Nine, the hottest nightclub in Florida. Our setup was beautiful– I could ramble on and on… but you have to see the photos and the videos.

There is one really cool thing we have to talk about: the surprise concert. My boy, Thrill da Playa (from 69 Boyz) joined forces with the 4S0 2009 Prom Tour and we merged tours together for a few special clients– this one being the first. The place went INSANE! The staff, teachers, admins, and all the kids danced along with classics such as “Tootsee Roll, The Train, and Fresh Prince of Bel Air” as well as his new hits “Good Girls, Ery’Body Rock, and Slide.” OH YES THIS WAS A BEAST!!

Another cool surprise was Bob Moore Entertainment. Bob is a great friend and a swell entertainer– he brought  in his new toy. A graphics laser system. Watch the videos for amazing shots!

In the VIP room we adorned it with black lights. That was all that was needed. Mr. Casey and his committee did a great job with the room setup.

Trust me when I say no nightclub in Florida has what Club 0Nine does. NONE WHATSOEVER. I feel sorry for the prom next door.
