And Then We Played the Chicken Dance…

Don’t let the title fool you, nothing but fun was had on November 4^th. I assisted Tim Musho at McDonalds University in Oakbrook for the Halm wedding. Admittedly, we were both a little nervous going to an event with a must play list including Chicken Dance, Electric Slide, and Cheeseburger in Paradise.

After getting only slightly lost in Oakbrook, we found our location and got everything set up. The evening began effortlessly with music for cocktails and we transitioned smoothly into dinner. Tim and I were challenged by the layout of the room and not being able to see each other during introductions, but we made it work. We played great dinner music and got pumped up for dancing. Tim was getting nervous to play music he is not typically used to playing. It turned out he had nothing to worry about. His skill as a versatile, energetic, and trained DJ led him to totally rock the dance floor.

The floor was packed the whole night. Guests were having a blast, dancing like it was their job, laughing and celebrating. Then 11:00 hit and we were scheduled to play Cheeseburger in Paradise while waiters brought trays filled with McDonald’s cheeseburgers. This was such a hit! We followed the Jimmy Buffet song with Garth Brooks, ‘I’ve Got Friends in Low Places’. It was wild. It only got better as we played the long awaited ‘Chicken Dance’ accompanied by an actual dancing chicken. Tim and I, no longer Chicken Dance virgins, rocked the rest of the evening.

The bride and groom complimented us on what a great time they had and how glad they were to see everyone dancing. They said it went exactly how they hoped. After that evening I realized that Fig can provide truly outstanding service for any type of event, wedding, or celebration.
