Sixth Annual Teamwork Trivia Night : Sponsored by the Tewksbury Memorial HS PAC

admin — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:00:24 +0000

A feisty, sold-out 350 people braved the tail end of the surprisingly heavy snow storm. Some of the “veterans” dressed up and were in the running for The Dress Code cash prize from the PAC. The lively music rounds spanned many decades. The songs by Pitbull, Flo Rida, Doobie Brothers, Styx, the “Charleston” and the Lumineers made the quiz. The Daniel Day Lewis , the Red Sox sluggers, “The Chew” and the Rock of Gibraltar questions were some of the brain-teasers for the huge group.

“Thank You” to the PAC … for the 6th time!

6th Annual Teamwork Trivia Night for the PAC at Tewksbury Mem HS held at the Tewksbury Country Club. March 8th, 2013

700 Guests at the Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc.Bash at the Westin Copley Place, Boston.

admin — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:52:04 +0000

Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc, Lexington MA . When the guest estimate went from 400 to 700, I was thinking…. wow! The Westin Copley Place, Boston ballroom is huge that is true, but Dana Marcos Events designed an elegant “diamond-in the clouds” design that had to seen, to be believed.

For the six hours of music, I went with upbeat club classics as the guests entered this wonderland for about an hour. Doors open as “Diamonds” by Rihanna played. Then, the food stations were the main focus so, I provided R&B classics & jazz standards.

Then, I changed the pace to contemporary dance music with sets of diverse party classics from years back.

The dancefloor rocked with Pitbull, Nicki Minaj (“Starships”+“ Va Va Voom”), Rihanna, Flo Rida, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Tiao Cruz, Bruno Mars, Calvin Harris (“Let’s Go”+“We Found Love”), “Party Rock Anthem” and yes, “Gangnam Style”.

Some sets included “Clocks” (in Cuban cha-cha style), Celia Cruz, Juan Luis Guerra… and “Mandolay” by La Flavour. Then, party anthems by Salt-N-Pepa, “It’s Tricky” by Run-DMC, “O.P.P”, “Pump Up The Jam”, “Gasolina”, “Good Life”, Michael Jackson, and Whitney’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”.

Swing dancing to “Chattanooga Choo-Choo”. “Rocking Around The Clock” to some 45′s like “Oh Pretty Woman” and “Fever”!

Later “Born To Be Alive”, “Get Down Tonight” and Donna Summer closed the night.

This mega-sound system consists of the DJ computer console (www.ProDJpc.com) and a pair of JBL(G2)EON and a pair of QSC-K12 speakers. The biggest indoor crowd I have ever played for.

*New Feature* : INSTANT MUSIC REQUESTS WITH FACEBOOK. Due to the large crowd in the ballroom, guests could (and did) make instant music requests by logging onto my Facebook page (DJ Mr Ed) and posting their request. I received the request on my IPad and turning my phone into a Mobile Hotspot, since there was no Wi-Fi in the ballroom.

Firing on all cylinders that Saturday night.

Thank you to Cheryl Cormier at Cubist Pharmaceuticals in Lexington MA, Samantha Mahoney (hi to Ted Daniels) at the Westin Copley Place, Boston and Dana Marcos and the DME crew! Jan 2013.

NE Bio Labs Holiday Bash In 2011, Now In 2012! Four Sound Systems Simultaneously! Seriously!

admin — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:34:09 +0000

New England Bio Labs, Ipswich MA. 2012. For the two years in a row, the NE BioLabs party planners have created a Holiday Celebration like no other! With 500 attendees, there was a lot to prepare. Dana Markos Events designed an classic Hollywood theme that was astounding! The day-to-day NE BioLab headquarters was transformed into several concept rooms. Vinwood Caterers took over the kitchen and developed several creative menus.

For the music, I had four separate sound sytems playing simultaneously! Really.
ONE: Blackjack Hideaway.
TWO: Peter Lawford’s Lounge.
THREE: At the Casino.
FOUR: The Dance Floor. Full party rockin ’til midnight.

The 500 guests toured (their own work place) the new look atrium, cafeteria, lounge, hallways with wide eyes. So much to taste and sip. So much to see and talk about. So many kinds of music for all ages and preferences.

Thanks to Pam Ireland, again! See you next winter!

Y.M.C.A. [by the Village People, 1978. VH-1 ranks it as #7 on the 100 Greatest Dance Songs of the 20th Century. Being featured on American Bandstand with Dick Clark (Jan.1979) boosted the song immeasurably.
