St. Mary's Prom 2010

Another prom that stood out this past season was for St. Mary's, which took place at the AZ heard museum. This was our first prom for St. Mary's and we sure hope to be a part of their proms in the future. We provided DJ, Sound, Lighting & Percussion services for St. Mary's. Special thanks to Steve for programming the lights for us, Sean for Drumming, Ruby Rideout for the Images & Eric Ludwig for providing video coverage, not posted here.














Goldwater Prom 2011

Our last prom for 2011 was for Barry Goldwater High School, which I graduated from 4 years ago. It was hosted at the Arizona Science Center, which by the way is a phenomenal venue with outstanding staff who helped make our Proms possible. This was also our second prom that took place at the Science Center.

We were fortunate to be a part of this event due to Mr. Steve Swangroon of Swang Entertainment. Steve, a dear friend as well as an inspiration for me and our team. Steve aka DJ Cheeno has been in the business much longer than we have and him being on board for advice and help is making our team so much better. Steve worked Goldwater's proms previously and asked me to be part of it. And our collaboration definitely gave Goldwater a show they could remember forever. I met Steve on the tennis courts at Goldwater back in 2003 when I played for the school team. I was not even dreaming of becoming a DJ when I had first met him, a about a year or two after meeting him, I was into deejaying and was excited to know a DJ. But fate had in store for me the life I never imagined of and someday deejaying with one of the finest DJ's in the industry, DJ Cheeno, a Prom for the school I attended.

The night of the show was quite memorable for me and the team. Sadly, some of our team members were not able to attend this event, we made up for it by having even more fun. We had Steve on his Turntables, Myself on my own, Sean Michael Fay on the drums, Stephen Tsang & Amarjoyt Singh on the Cameras, Gabrielle Fay on the Light Controller, Sean Gray and Akanimo Okon for setup/takedown AND our hype men Rahul Prasai & Jevin Hodge. Played all sorts of music to have the 500+ Prom attendees on their feet all night long.

It was a pleasure to work with everyone, and I am already excited for the Homecoming season coming up.











McClintock Prom 2011

We worked the second prom with McClintock at the Arizona Science Center. McClintock is definitely one of the greater schools we work for. Although a school very small, but they are one of the most heart-warming schools. From their security guard to their principal, each member of the school with an exception of few students :P everyone is great to work with and great just as a person. The high school itself is like a family, and each time I am on campus for an event or a meeting, I miss my high school days quite a bit. This year we were inquired by Jevin Hodge, who is the Student Council president, and a pretty neat guy who was very enthusiastic about the schools prom.

Anyways, we broke our setup time for a Prom with less than 3 hours and with just 4 people. Usual setup take about 6+ and 8+ people. With the cooperation and greatness of the AZ Science Center's staff, we were able to pull off in 3 hours.


















McClintock PROM 2010

Out of all the proms we did and are doing this year, McClintock's Prom was the most elaborate one. I fulfilled a lot of goals this night and outdid myself by a LOT. I knew after going into this gig that it was going to be one HECK of an event....and that plus 10 times more is what it turned out to be. Broke many records for this event. Amount of lights used, amount of power, amount of watts, amount of manpower, amount of help, number of crew, amount of songs, glowsticks, projections. We did almost everything for this event. At the companys' full potential, we gave McClintock its BEST prom yet.

My debut with my drummer, Sean Michael Fay was this night where he and i had a set of about an hour and a half where we had a DJ and a Drummer duo. After first being exposed to Travis Barker & DJ AM years ago, i was really inspired to start something of this sort and had been on a lookout for months for a chance to jam with someone who was into music as much as me and was a great drummer. We went on about 9:30 and played till 11 together and so far as we know it, majority of the crowd loved it. As we played, it had me jumpin up and down along with the crowd and many students air drumming as well. I would say on a rating between 1-10, I was at a 10 this night.

Our performance, I believe was near perfect, and we had very minor flaws that were easily overlooked by the greatness of the rest of it. I think i was way too happy to not brag about this.

However, we got tons of compliments before the event, from the event coordinator at the venue, from the event coordinator at the school, the teachers, the security even and of course the staff that assisted us to complete our biggest show yet.

Also, last year i had about 2 HUGE shows. This year i have outdone my last best show over 5 times. Without our team members, the great friends who help me hand in hand run this company of ours, i would be nothing and this night would not be there to remember.

April 24th 2010, The 5th Biggest show of the year for In-The-Mix Entertainment, and definitely the most fun me, our team has EVER had at an event. We hope for tons more like these, and i appreciate all your support. Enjoy the pictures and the video attached.
