Some Bar or Bat Mitzvah a geared toward the kids while others involving the children & adults. It’s important to focus your planning depending on which type of party style you want to experience. Either can be a success as long as you know which elements of the celebration are important. For example, if it is a kids party, the food needs to be only what the kids like. No fancy stuff because first the kids typically don’t like it & the adults that would wont be there. Another thought is that the DJ should be able to be very interactive if it’s a kids only party. There wont be many formalities so the DJ will be the one to carry the entertainment load for the event! The size of the venue is also a concern. Kids only usually means a smaller group which in turn requires a smaller venue. The energy will flow if the venue is the perfect size!

Sidney and her friends had a blast celebrating her Bat Mitzvah last night at The Club! Other than the adults sneaking in, she & the friends had a party all by themselves.

Rededication of Willie Mays Park

Willie Mays is the founder of a wonderful organization called “Say Hey” Foundation. Some of you may know that he is originally from Fairfield Alabama & came to town this past Saturday to rededicate the “Willie Mays Field” in Fairfield. Jeremy had the cool opportunity to play music & create a nostalgic Baseball atmosphere, and he got to meet the legend too!

I had the opportunity to DJ for Aaron Aizenman’s Bar Mitzvah this past Saturday night at Embassy Suites. The whole family was great to work with & everyone had a blast. Even Aaron & his friends wouldn’t stop dancing for the whole party! The staff at Embassy Suites were great to work with as usual & even though their photographer Barry Altmark was actually a guest, he still was able to grab some great shots. A great party, great family, Great Kid . . . It was FUN!

Stacy & Bubba’s wedding reception was great!

From the personalized introduction of the new couple to the very fun group of guests, the reception was unbelievable. I really think everyone enjoyed Bubba’s special dance moves with all the ladies!

The kids at Brookwood Forest Elementary School showed their talent at the Annual BWF Idol contest. The kids performed for 60″ to their favorite music to compete for the top performances. The DJ from JAMM hosted the event & assisted with the door prize drawings. The kids were awesome & the parents really came out to support the Idol competition & the silent auction!

Over a thousands kids & their parents came to the McWane Center to enjoy Kids Fest 09. Jay Carr from The Kids Directory created another great Kids Fest this year. Different vendors were there helping parents plan their kids birthday parties and even plan thier summer camp adventures. Deborah’s Party Rentals had a couple of inflatables & JAMM had an fun interactive DJ that played great music & played games with the kids!

The girls all had a great night partying with their fathers at the Annual Homewood Father Daughter Dance that was held at the Homewood Recreational Center. As they entered the facility they got their picture taken to capture the evenings festivities forever (http://photos.jamm.net). The dads were celebrating as the girls danced the night away.

Geoff  just returned from Las Vegas while attending the Mobile Beat DJ Expo. The saying “What Happens in Vegas . . .  Stays in Vegas” doesn’t apply here! JAMM use to attend the expo for several years but this was the first time in over 7 years that I was able to attend. The Expo offered several seminars & networking opportunities for all the attendees. These motivational & educational events allow DJs to offer more exciting options to their clients once they return. What does this mean to you? I’m recharged & have numerous ideas that I will be implemented in the next few weeks.
