Room presentation.

Getting last minute details ready. One computer is to control the entire system, one for the presentation itself, one for music, and the last one controls the camera feeds and video board.

…teachers are getting ready.

Yorkville speakers fill the room with a comfortable volume.

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.

Over 50 light fixtures, this was one amazing light show!!!

I was resizing the “lighting stage” to make sure the lights hit each spot we wanted.

Stars… everywhere!!

Black lights make the pillows glow in the VIP Room

All of the above photos show off the the Laser Skywriter, wonderful fixture, thanks Bob!

Thrill Da Playa with the HB Fraternity … bringin’ old school back!

Again– this was absolutely beautiful!

Over 500 Students, our dance area couldn’t contain them. They spilled over all the place past the floor.

Thrill … The Man, the Myth, the Legend! He added 500 hundred loyal fans tonight!

After Thrill left, I knew I had some big shoes to fill– these students wanted MORE!!!!

Thanks again to everyone: Thrill & the HB Frat., Bob Moore, the 4SO Crew, and of course Hudson High School’s Prom Committee!!!

Now videos!

The first one is a “preview” of the light show, as well as a review from Mr. Casey

The second video is the first half of prom.

The third is the concert.

And the fourth is the last hour.

I tried doing just one video– but I promise there’s too much I can’t skip!!!!
