We had a great weekend!  Jason and I had the opportunity to entertain and provide sound for the St Michaels School 125th Anniversary Gala and fund raiser on March 1.  This was the third event that we've done for them and the biggest to date.  It was a great time and we always enjoy helping out in the community and St Michaels is a great school and means quite a bit to Penn Yan.

 There were a number of really great baskets that were raffled off and helped in fund raising and the fund raising ended with a live auction.  Mike Healey served as auctioneer and was really great and running the room and getting the group involved and had great energy.  Sports memorabilia was on hand to be auctioned as well as a 42" LCD TV and beautiful full length antique mirror.  The TV was prominently displayed and we offered to provide video for the evening using it and they loved it!  We displayed information on the items and winning ticket numbers via the text feature in our DJ Platform and we played Ambient video for cocktail and dinner hour and although we had a short time for open dancing we turned it into a video dance party on the spot!  Its great being prepared, and digital as it allows us to change things on the fly and to provide more and better service to our clients.

 Today Jason and I made a trip to RIT where we were vendors for the NYS CLSA which is a student leadership conference.  We were one of 3 DJ services there the others being Whirling Disc out of Rochester, and Bobby K out of the Elmira area.  Bobby K runs a great operation and although they stated as a DJ service they really excel in event rentals, inflatables and some really great game show and party rentals including fantasy casino.  We had the chance to meet Bobby's daughter and it was nice networking with other professionals. The conference was attended by about 600-700 students and their advisers from all over the Finger Lakes Region and Rochester and Syracuse.  We hope to increase our business to school events and teen dances and parties and have added some great services and we're always looking for the next big thing to add to FLE.

 Please take a look at our off shoot of FLE FLEDJ.com.  Its a website aimed at a younger audience and cliental and we want to separate our Wedding and Corporate events from the School and Teen functions to serve them both better.

Today ended with Jason purchasing some additional equipment and we have added another 18" powered sub woofer to our already powerful arsenal.  As Jason said there is no event we cant do at this point.  I'm sure we'll be challenged but we are ready to move into larger events and really look forward to it.
