5,4,3,2,1 Happy New Year.... Get Down Tonight.

DJ Jon Hood and I (DJ Megan Taylor) rocked the New Years Eve Party at Transitions, sponsored by Fig Media, Wright Institute, and Transitions. The party was spectacular and it was honor to play music to such an engaged vibrant crowd. I had one of those "on nights" because I felt confident in all of my sets and alive and engaged with our MC James Gustin. There were two main obstacles of the evening that taught me about setup. One was the speaker setup..... we had to create great sound in all areas throughout the cafeteria and the bookstore. We had to create an atmosphere where people could boogy and also engage in conversation. We setup a 6 speaker setup placing speakers throughout the store on stands, behind curtains, and on the floor to create the dancefloor base. Another obstacle was having 4 wireless microphones that could be used throughout the space. The microphones were tested and ready to go, but after the space had been filled with 200 plus the dynamics shifted and we had to do last minute adjustments. These are skills that I am developing and want to master. Sound is important and delivery is a must. My sets ranged from great 80's, to funk, hip hop, and disco. I think I really was myself at this event positive, supportive, and excited, so I felt great supporting James with dance off's and raffle. Jon and I performed better than ever and we really supported each other my talking a lot, expressing our feelings, yelling with excitement, and switching on and off. I feel proud of the job I did and my ability to have an excellent time.
