Tip #10 Let’s Celebrate!
Monday, July 1st, 2013
It’s time to celebrate…..You need entertainment…..What to choose? Do you “Try something new”, or go with “Something tried and true”?
Try Something New
Have fun! Be creative! Celebrate! But be sure to work with a producer who is knowledgeable about the logistics of the performance. Here are a couple of “new” ideas to consider:
- A Video Jockey (VJ)
Imagine a DJ with videos projected on large screens. With large scale events, the equipment required is already in place. The VJ displays videos to create an energetic atmosphere for revving up the dancing!
- “Rhapsody America” Patriotic Show
Not your usual patriotic show, but one which uses a costumed narrator, a show band, three vocalists, a violinist, and a kids choir. Showcasing patriotic-type music thru the years in a compact show, you will be brought to your feet and singing along to “Proud to Be an American”. For added effect, a Fife and Drum Band can provide cocktail music and parade you into dinner.
Something Tried and True
There are truly “new” ideas, but there are also ways to use a past idea in a new way, such as using a new theme or decor with songs to match. This provides something new and interesting with the assurance of success. Here are some reliable favorites:
- A Top Dance Band
There are several top notch dance bands from which to choose. They vary by size, music selection, instrumentation, and price. They keep your event alive with energy and excitement!
- Headliner Acts
These performers continue to perform because they are great – and a reliable solution for a special event. There are many choices – let’s discuss the best option for your guests, and we will provide several suggestions.
