Ocoee High School always knows how to have a good time! To follow up their Powderpuff game (guys cheerlead as girls play the football game), Ocoee hosted a bonfire followed by an outdoor dance.
Adam held it down during the game while I handled the 1s and 2s out on the dance floor. Check out the photos and pics below!
Wow– am I behind on posts!
Lyman High School was one of our original tour stops, and they’re back again to be bigger and better than ever. After 100% polled complains on last year’s entertainment, they decided that 4SchoolsOnly is the only choice in Central Florida for amazing school dances!
Two dance floors were going to be set up, but the outside dance floor was cancelled by rain. No worries, we just doubled up inside and played a huge variety of requests. The lighting, lasers, uplights, and 12′ video screen with live video were a smash hit! Add 2000 glowsticks to the mix and Lyman got a homecoming they’ll never forget! Check out the photos and video below!
Package: Shock ‘n’ Awe CUSTOM
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!
Our first homecoming of the year, and it’s huge. We have another big dance at Seminole High School and another one at Sunlake.
You can bet where the stress level was with three equally large dances on the same date!
No worries, because all three went well.. but since this is MY blog, I’ll chat about MY dance. Ocoee High School did it big last year with Thrill da Playa of the 69 Boyz and this year was no exception. World-famous Cupid (Cupid Shuffle) came in to party with a surprise appearance from Eliseo of Orlando Superstar group, TREAL.
This year’s theme was Alice in Wonderland, and the school focused on making everything large… the tunnel that students walked in made them feel small, there was a giant chair from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on the corner, giant playing card guards surrounded the gym… and this was all made by the students and sponsor, Wendy. They did such an amazing job! I was impressed.
Our spotlight was used to enhance the “larger than life” aspect, but also lit up Cupid during his performance. We also had a projection of a Cheshire Cat that appeared and disappeared, and had animated eyes that followed the students as they walked in. It looked too cool!
There are LOTS of photos, courtesy of my good friend Jenny from J-Walk Photography; the first few I shot (You can tell by the watermarks). My wife, Monica, rocked it out with the video.
The 2nd dance floor was closed due to the rain, but it’s OK because we all had a good time inside!
Click to see pics and videos.. it’s totally worth it!!
I love destination weddings– and this one had a twist. Most people celebrate their reception in Florida to go near the beaches, but Samantha and Terrance live in the best place for beautiful beaches: BAHAMAS. They wanted a change of scenery, so they chose the Lange Farms in Dade City. Now this is pretty cool, I think. The Lange Farm is a large venue, but still has a very quaint feel. It’s secluded, so there’s no traffic, and has a large outside area. Unfortunately it rained, which put the ceremony inside and cancelled the bonfire (where we were going to play Junkanoo music).
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are so awesome that they didn’t let this detail ruin their day– they partied hard and made sure everyone, even the vendors, felt welcomed! Gino and I had a blast… check out the pics and videos to see a bit of the party and mixing. I got to jump from Reggae to Soca to Top40… it was a blast!
What a fun quince! Jeisy, with the help of her mom, Jamillet, wanted a fun Quinceañera that involved games, dancing, and a few traditions. One bad thing did happen: THE AC FAILED; yet that didn’t stop anyone from dancing and having a good time. Our game show system was brought in, customized with question about Jeisy, her friends, family and favorites. The screen was also used for a special slide show that Jamillet created.
Lighting was simple, but beyond effective. Our 4Bar light along with the UFO centerpiece really transformed the room; and I also go to test my new ADJ Hypnotic RGB light. Since the theme centered around the moon and stars, it was common sense that the bliss would be brought out!
Check out the photos and video below. The video is a must-watch because we had a lot of fun doing a soul-train!
Talk about one heck of an event… with a beautiful ceremony (despite the intense heat) and a huge party crowd, you’d think that I’d be talking about how great things were from my end? Well, they were going well until the outlet DIED (not a breaker, not my system… the OUTLET itself) in the middle of a HOT dance set!
Crissy, Neil and the guests were SO cool that they didn’t react to the issue and gave us time to run power to a new outlet and reboot the computers. Once the music began again, they resumed from where they left off!
We provided the ceremony sound, DJ/MC, dance floor lighting, ceiling wash, uplights, and monogram!
Check out the pics and video below!!
This whole night was absolutely unpredictable: the setup, the rig itself, the student’s reaction, and the overall energy. I knew the night would be insane based on their homecoming dance, and the 4SO team really did a good job keeping up with them.
When we first met, they had LOTS of complaints about their previous DJ who just couldn’t put their vision to reality. They wanted a REAL music experience with a light show that can keep up; they had video screens in the past, but none like what we brought out: a 22′ WIDE VIDEO SCREEN!
Black lights, glow in the dark bubbles, a beautiful projected moon, dry ice clouds, and a starry night sky pulled their fairytale theme together. Our Snap Yourself Silly Photobooth was also a HUGE hit!
Check out the photos and videos below. You will see two videos: the gig summary and a time-lapse set up!
It’s legen-hope you’re not lactose intolerant because here it comes-DAIRY!
Wow! This school may have more collective energy than my crew and I– we were drenched in sweat and worn out! Our third year there showed to be a good one before the night even started: ticket sales were higher than last years (sold out in terms of projected ticket sales); students were asking if we were back this year, and the place was PACKED the moment they walked in.
Their theme was Central Park After Dark (the Mac geek in me lit up at the name After Dark), and the theme was pulled together nicely thanks to the blue simulated skylights built into Disney’s Dolphin Hotel; a New York City skyline complemented by our BEAUTIFUL Moon gobo, and photos of various NYC scenes shown on our giant 14′ video screens. Black lighting really pulled the “After Dark” club-effect the students wanted. To top it off, the entire ballroom was wrapped with a beautiful combination of blue and white uplighting while stars cascaded across the entire ceiling.
As usual, the energy was through the roof and even the administration danced with us on stage…. overall, it was a blast! Check out the amazing photos as well as a time-lapse and summary video. Lots to see!
David and Nancy are an awesome couple… they love Disney (well, they also work there), watch The Office, and adore “How I Met Your Mother.” Perfect, Barney Stinson could’ve co-hosted this wedding with me. On top of it all, they’re huge Glee fans. (You know, huge isn’t the word to describe it, so I’ll begin with dedicated.) This means that on top of a great sense of humor with creativity, they’re gonna have a very eclectic music taste.
Boy, did I profile this one right. The overall party was a blast, and I had a lot of fun with the HIMYM references! With Carlisha as their coordinator, they created very unique centerpieces portraying various Disney movies.
As usual, the Paradise Cove in Kissimmee was beautiful, and a blast to work in. After the photos of the wedding, you can see some shots of the place itself. Make sure to check out the video, too!
