The Blue (Ball)

The Shedd hosted for the first time Blue, what was formally Shark Ball, at the end of July during Venetian Festival. The co-chairs hired fig to be the music experts and dj's for the event. The night included cocktails by the reef aquarium, with a fig dj Alvin playing cool lounge and bossa nova music. Then moved to the terrace where they had cocktails, and could mingle and lounge on pillows in the grass as the Venetian parade floated past. I (Megan Taylor) played music on the terrace and then traveled down into the cafeteria turned into lounge for dancing. The party brought in 800 guests and was held on a perfect night. This was definitely one of the most challenging DJ nights I have ever done. I ran a team of 4 people, in charge of 3 huge setups and only have one hour to do each. It was a challenge and a success as our fearless team pulled off a stellar night.
