The Fabulous Winter Ball

Poofy dresses, frindged tuxes, the king and queen, cheese balls, cup cakes, disco, big hair, football jocks, band geeks, the popular girl, air guitar, snow flakes, shimmering shoes, beer bongs, tequilla shots, and so on.

Picture all of these pieces put together for one night at the American Legion Hall in Arlington Heights. Jennifer Alese and Kathleen Gabriel, friends from Arlington Heights, planned and organized a high school reunion bash featuring music played by fig deejays Brian and Megan. We had an air guitar contest where dudes and dudettes jammed to Guns and Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine." They all should have won! Kathleen prepared 100 shots made of ice for the tequilla shot, with lime of course. Before the King and Queen were announced a red carpet, rather construction paper, was rolled out to accept the winners. We played Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" as our King and Queen shared a wonderous moment. The rest of the winter ball guests joined them, and our dance floor was packed.
Again the song "Paradise by the Dashboard of Light" surprised me. It was a big hit. Deejays, don't be scarred of this song, it is loved by many.

The party was a such a hit that it was published in the Daily Herald. Check out the article online.
