Its been a long time since I posted anything to my blog. I've been busy with DJ work but managed to get some photos and video at this last wedding. Here is a video from the wedding I did last Saturday in Rocky Mountain House Alberta.

Lets see... where have I been? The River Cree Marriott again, The Edmonton Golf and Country Club, and The Killam Community hall in Killam Alberta.<div><br /></div><div>All the weddings were allot of fun of course. One highlight occurred during one of the ceremonies I was providing audio services for. During the middle of the vows one of the groomsmen just fainted to the ground without warning. He took out a whole whack of decorations along with him and managed to give himself a nasty cut on his eyebrow on the way down. This drew quite a gasp from the audience, needless to say. He was alright after some first aid attention and everything carried on as normal 10 minutes later. I guess he had been feeling sick all day. Anyways, the evenings dance was a big success. Sorry, no video of the fainting.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a few video compilations from the action at a few of the latest wedding dances.</div><div>I have two more weddings to DJ this upcoming weekend.</div><div><br /><br /><object id="vp19hC3t" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1284047675&f=9hC3tSFp7CHdaYAJmpaZxA&d=208&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed id="vp19hC3t" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1284047675&f=9hC3tSFp7CHdaYAJmpaZxA&d=208&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object id="vp1ebcx8" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1284047720&f=ebcx8ZqDeML27FC58128pA&d=440&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed id="vp1ebcx8" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1284047720&f=ebcx8ZqDeML27FC58128pA&d=440&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object><br /></div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-16139353203641012992010-08-25T10:05:00.000-07:002010-08-25T10:28:34.256-07:00Edmonton Wedding DJ Soundsations at the Royal Mayfair and the Palace<object id="vp1IgTgJ" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1282756022&f=IgTgJZ09LLItAdHV33OX7w&d=197&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed id="vp1IgTgJ" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1282756022&f=IgTgJZ09LLItAdHV33OX7w&d=197&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div>Here is a video from one of the weddings your <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Edmonton wedding DJ</a> Soundsations performed at last weekend.

Both parties were a great success though. There was probably more dancing at the Friday wedding, but Saturday went pretty well too.</div><div>One difficulty at the Palace was that they had me set up right in front of the big drop down projection screen. They did have a slide show presentation, so I had to try to set equipment up so that it didn't block everyone's view of the screen. That's actually impossible to do, so that is something to keep in mind when planning things. I think the banquet facility should know better but it's kind of out of my control.</div><div>Two more weddings coming up this Friday and Saturday so stay tuned.</div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-23963441150347390922010-08-14T11:55:00.000-07:002010-08-14T12:13:14.764-07:00Edmonton Wedding DJ Soundsations Wedding season heats upI have a couple of videos here from recent Edmonton wedding DJ Soundsations recent events.<div>I have been busy every weekend with weddings.

It was a classy affair with a great time had by all. As usual the food and service was fabulous and once the dance started the dance floor was kept busy all night.

I'll take some of the credit, but this was a great crowd that didn't need much prompting to get the party started. Everyone was very polite and friendly and most guests came to dance. There were lots of great requests made ranging from country 2 steps to old school rap and hip hop to polkas and I was happy to oblige.</div><div><br /></div><div>As usual, I caught some of the action on camera and have made a short video compilation.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><object id="vp1EAjjh" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1277787994&f=EAjjh0qh4vtKliiXwisI1A&d=204&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed id="vp1EAjjh" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1277787994&f=EAjjh0qh4vtKliiXwisI1A&d=204&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-51249593823447543322010-06-16T22:23:00.000-07:002010-06-16T22:42:31.196-07:00Graduations and wedding timeYour <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Edmonton wedding DJ</a> Soundsations Music has been busy over the past few weekends having fun Dj'ing a huge graduation dance a small town high school reunion and a big wedding. The high school graduation had about 1500 guests so some extra sound reinforcement was brought in to really rock the joint. It was held at the cavernous Northlands Agricom. Needless to say lots of top 40 dance music was on the menu that night and the dance floor was given a real workout.<div><br /></div><div>The next day I was off to the small town of Sedgewick Alberta about 2 hours southeast of Edmonton for a 10 year high school reunion. There was only about 50 guests at the small hall but we still managed to party like it was 1999 (actually it was the class of 2000, so pretty close).</div><div><br /></div><div>This past weekend I did a big wedding at Fort Edmonton Park in the hanger. This is another huge venue. The hanger doors were open until about 11:00 pm so guests could hang around on the patio outside too. To accommodate this extra speakers were brought in to provide music inside and outside. This dance took awhile to heat up, but from about 11:00 till 2 in the morning we really rocked out. With all the extra stuff to pack up I didn't get home till after 4 am.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am posting a video compilation of some of the action from the past few weeks for anyone that's curious.</div><div><br /><br /><object id="vp1N02ZJ" width="432" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1276751720&f=N02ZJk3XgJ3UqDhre7lrhw&d=115&m=a&r=w&i=m&options="><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed id="vp1N02ZJ" src="http://static.animoto.com/swf/w.swf?w=swf/vp1&e=1276751720&f=N02ZJk3XgJ3UqDhre7lrhw&d=115&m=a&r=w&i=m&options=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="240"></embed></object><br /></div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-57676200093932349462010-05-24T10:09:00.000-07:002010-05-24T10:47:09.725-07:00Edmonton DJ Wedding Season is heating upHello again.<div><br /></div><div>It's that time of year again when your <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com">Edmonton wedding DJ</a> Soundsations music starts getting out to a wedding just about every weekend.

There was abaout 150 guests and soundsations was there to provide cocktail and dinner music before the first dance got underway around 9:00 pm. We were able to keep the dance floor pretty busy all evening, fitting in lots of standards as well as some more unusual requests. </div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday brought us out to Cardiff Alberta for some more wedding action. The crowd was about the same size as the previous night, but this group really came to dance. Not much encouragement was needed from the DJ and lots of great requests were made and played.

It turned out to be an awesome audience. They really seemed to enjoy the music and kept the large dance floor packed from start to finish. The party didn't fade out as they sometimes do. The crowd stayed 'till closing time at 2 AM and the dance floor got busier as the evening went on. You can see from the posted video that a good time was had by all.</div><div><br /></div><div>Killam is almost a 2 hour drive from Edmonton so after packing up everything, I didn't get back home 'till about 5 AM. I was pretty tired the rest of the weekend but it was such a fun show it was worth it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope to be back to DJ in Killam again soon. Until next time...</div><div><br /></div><div>Chris.</div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-18593271838296070742010-01-19T20:49:00.000-08:002010-01-19T22:23:25.432-08:00Soundsations Edmonton DJ at Marriott River Cree<div><br /></div>In my last post I mentioned that Soundsations (My <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Edmonton DJ Company</a>) would be entertaining at the Marriottt River Cree in Edmonton for their staff party on January 10th. I am happy to report that the event was a huge success. The staff from the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald provided their services for the evening in exchange for the Marriott staff having served at their function earlier in the year. It therefore goes without saying that the food and service was first class.<br /><br />Once the formalities were done with and that dance started at around ten o'clock, it only took about 30 seconds for the dance floor to get packed and it stayed that way right through to the last song. It was really a dream gig in terms of the crowds response to the music. There were so many requests, I couldn't possibly play them all in one evening but almost every song played was a request and they loved it. It really looked and sounded great with the lighting effects and the sound system pumping pretty loud and clear. I have attached a video made from some of the photos I snapped that night.<br /><br />It looks quieter now in terms of the number of functions coming up (until wedding season kicks in), but I'm sure a few jobs will pop up.<br /><br />'till next time ...<div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw5EoIPpLOEQFnq3UK2aqaDS2mgmwgxfM8al7bQmCqbzdWQvKF7mGxYh4BvkRK6_Zi3vdTP-UHYoaWoDJ8S4Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-60963493199644546282010-01-02T20:43:00.000-08:002010-01-02T21:07:34.479-08:00Edmonton DJ does Boxing Day Wedding and New Years Eve in Nisku<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/S0AlwQqcSCI/AAAAAAAAA9I/2iYkIOqO6BA/s1600-h/DSC_0159.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I am now recovering from the two events I managed to squeeze in between my last post and the end of the year. My <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Edmonton DJ</a> company Soundsations performed a Boxing Day wedding at the Hotel Macdonald and a New Years Eve party at the Nisku Inn.<div><br /></div><div>The wedding was a great success despite a late start to the first dance. Dinner can take a while at the Hotel Macdonald (it's worth it though) so late starts there are normal. The dance floor was kept busy after the dance finally started. I have posted some photos from the event.</div><div><br /></div><div>The New Years Eve party was also a great time although it was a lower than expected turnout probably due to minus 30 Celsius temperatures outside.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am looking forward to 2010 being as busy as last year with my first event scheduled for January 10th at the River Cree Resort (their staff party). Should be lots of fun.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-83974775431933116432009-12-19T16:47:00.000-08:002009-12-19T17:32:44.952-08:002009 Soundsations Edmonton DJ videoWell there is only a couple of events left to DJ this year. Here is a video showing some of the action from the 2009 season. Soundsations provided DJ services at many events in the Edmonton area this year including lots of weddings, school dances, and Christmas parties. This video will give you some idea of what the set-up looks like and some of the fun you can expect to have at an event with <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">DJ services by Soundsations</a>.<div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzDddyhWWEymdXK1LiiCVvcFJv_oqqetAyMQ-KjITiDSfrbS7UQ6yStpRZ8S0qCh-kNM0uA6l9gV0RY0qcaXg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-36325138524523708052009-12-07T20:16:00.000-08:002009-12-07T20:39:26.293-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T8LAKiCI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/ppkOmsPXlPI/s1600-h/DSC_0125.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T8LAKiCI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/ppkOmsPXlPI/s200/DSC_0125.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715357868296226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T7yoOyHI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/eVmHT3KgqwI/s1600-h/DSC_0124.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T7yoOyHI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/eVmHT3KgqwI/s200/DSC_0124.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715351325460594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T7mtBbGI/AAAAAAAAA6I/d3JFL0m9GcY/s1600-h/DSC_0123.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3T7mtBbGI/AAAAAAAAA6I/d3JFL0m9GcY/s200/DSC_0123.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715348124331106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqpaLX7I/AAAAAAAAA6A/f8OBoApWXiE/s1600-h/DSC_0122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqpaLX7I/AAAAAAAAA6A/f8OBoApWXiE/s200/DSC_0122.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715056792821682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqUaGmXI/AAAAAAAAA54/uZ1tN_q-n5A/s1600-h/DSC_0122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqUaGmXI/AAAAAAAAA54/uZ1tN_q-n5A/s200/DSC_0122.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715051155364210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqHvaH6I/AAAAAAAAA5w/CFvVF77IvaY/s1600-h/DSC_0115.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TqHvaH6I/AAAAAAAAA5w/CFvVF77IvaY/s200/DSC_0115.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715047755063202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TpobtxvI/AAAAAAAAA5o/iKt3WwKaiqs/s1600-h/DSC_0114.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TpobtxvI/AAAAAAAAA5o/iKt3WwKaiqs/s200/DSC_0114.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715039350966002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TpX_0ZcI/AAAAAAAAA5g/z69jmTGaaCw/s1600-h/DSC_0113.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Sx3TpX_0ZcI/AAAAAAAAA5g/z69jmTGaaCw/s200/DSC_0113.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412715034938992066" /></a>It's Christmas party season again and I've been busy DJ'ing at three different parties over the last two weekends. There's another two big ones to do next weekend as well. My <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com">Edmonton DJ service</a> Soundsations does weddings for most of the year, so it's a nice change to switch things up a bit from the usual.<div><br /></div><div>Above are some photos from one of the parties I DJ'ed at the Beverly ballroom at the Fantasy Hotel in West Edmonton Mall. This one was a big show with about 400 guests so I brought in extra speakers to cover the large room for dinner music and speeches. The other two Christmas parties I did were smaller affairs. One was at the Kingsway Legion Hall and the other at the Jubilee Auditorium banquet facility, both in Edmonton. The weather was terrible for the weekend of the last two shows so loading in and out was not fun, but the parties were all a big success, even though a few people stayed home due to poor road conditions. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm starting to get a lot of calls for DJ services for summer 2010 wedding season now, so it looks like next year will be another busy one.</div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-42751056291756758112009-10-20T15:57:00.000-07:002009-10-20T21:42:31.301-07:00Soundsations Fall Harvest Dance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qyf6mrHI/AAAAAAAAA4I/DfdNNX-2O40/s1600-h/22.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qyf6mrHI/AAAAAAAAA4I/DfdNNX-2O40/s320/22.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394908600871595122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qq7GNHgI/AAAAAAAAA4A/78xDM7YA4oI/s1600-h/7.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qq7GNHgI/AAAAAAAAA4A/78xDM7YA4oI/s320/7.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394908470729055746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6QkwkHkmI/AAAAAAAAA34/CS_tbFbZmUo/s1600-h/6.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6QkwkHkmI/AAAAAAAAA34/CS_tbFbZmUo/s320/6.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394908364822516322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qb2fOLiI/AAAAAAAAA3w/OJacQXl-98Y/s1600-h/5.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6Qb2fOLiI/AAAAAAAAA3w/OJacQXl-98Y/s320/5.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394908211793767970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6QGPSHb3I/AAAAAAAAA3g/cIN4H4eqKMs/s1600-h/4.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/St6QGPSHb3I/AAAAAAAAA3g/cIN4H4eqKMs/s320/4.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394907840492564338" /></a><br />Last Friday <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Soundsations </a>was busy doing a fall harvest themed dance at an Edmonton school. Everything looked great and the kids really got excited about the music and the lights. It was nice to work something other than a wedding for a change. Of course with this age group I had to play lots of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and so on. I always say though, I don't care whats playing as long as it's what the crowd will dance to. And that they did. Here are a few photos from the event (blurred so individuals are not identifiable).<div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-8652338213568166082009-10-12T22:01:00.000-07:002009-10-12T22:23:06.874-07:00Edmonton Wedding DJ at Union Bank Inn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOj0Wdk7I/AAAAAAAAA3Y/yk3LTHrmP7A/s1600-h/DSC_0060.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOj0Wdk7I/AAAAAAAAA3Y/yk3LTHrmP7A/s320/DSC_0060.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391950662380393394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOjbry8JI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/GLMKYiFzuw4/s1600-h/DSC_0055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOjbry8JI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/GLMKYiFzuw4/s320/DSC_0055.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391950655758987410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOixPEZvI/AAAAAAAAA3I/U8wWg6cURa4/s1600-h/DSC_0029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/StQOixPEZvI/AAAAAAAAA3I/U8wWg6cURa4/s320/DSC_0029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391950644364207858" /></a><br />I've been busy the last few weekends with <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com/">Soundsations </a>. Two weekends ago I did the audio for a three day convention in Calgary at the Fairmont Palisser Hotel. That was an easy gig as I only had to show up with my music on the laptop and patch in. Then I played music in between speaking sessions and when presenters were brought on and off the stage.<div><br /></div><div>This past weekend (Thanksgiving weekend) was another wedding, this time at the Union Bank Inn in downtown Edmonton. This was a great couple and once the dance started there was no trouble getting the dance floor full. They weren't ready for their first dance though until just before 11:00 pm. This didn't leave much time for dancing as we had to be done by 1:00 am. The hotel actually makes the DJ sign a letter promising they won't play past 1:00 am. They must have had some real unprofessional DJ's in there to have it come to making everyone sign a form.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways, some things are out of the Dj's control, and the dance started real late, but was a blast while it lasted. The decor in the room was fabulous as well. I've attached a few photos. I have to check to be sure, but I think that was my last wedding for 2009. It's on to Christmas parties soon enough. Appropriate since there's already snow here in Edmonton.</div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-86830657656035530472009-09-27T22:28:00.001-07:002009-09-27T22:57:25.680-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPjsd9dAI/AAAAAAAAA3A/zzmbqjDWqvk/s1600-h/DSC_0023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPjsd9dAI/AAAAAAAAA3A/zzmbqjDWqvk/s320/DSC_0023.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386392628985951234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPjJukQAI/AAAAAAAAA24/EDIQXm0hvA8/s1600-h/DSC_0022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPjJukQAI/AAAAAAAAA24/EDIQXm0hvA8/s320/DSC_0022.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386392619660361730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPiiPNQtI/AAAAAAAAA2w/oc96VTLr4-Q/s1600-h/DSC_0020.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPiiPNQtI/AAAAAAAAA2w/oc96VTLr4-Q/s320/DSC_0020.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386392609059848914" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPieG3hRI/AAAAAAAAA2o/PBNh21NSQhM/s1600-h/DSC_0019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SsBPieG3hRI/AAAAAAAAA2o/PBNh21NSQhM/s320/DSC_0019.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386392607951127826" /></a><br />Last nights wedding was at the University of Alberta Faculty Club in Edmonton Alberta. It was another great success with a fun time had by all including me (the DJ <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com">www.soundsationsmusic.com</a>). The bride and groom had allot of friends there as well as family and they didn't avoid the dance floor in favor of visiting and talking to everyone. The food is also always great at the Faculty Club which is a bonus.<div><br /></div><div>The only tough bit was that the couple opted to do the cake cutting about 20 minutes after the start of the dance. The cake was in another adjoining room so everyone left the dance area. It was a little tricky to sway them back over to the other side, but they eventually came around again and the party picked back up.</div><div><br /></div><div>There were lots of great requests, most of which I managed to squeeze in. Everybody including the bride and groom were quite polite and nice even while managing to consume a healthy amount of drink. I took a few photos to post. I didn't use any flash because I wanted the pictures to be somewhat blurred to avoid anyone being too recognizable.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050617451580125639.post-14651674860998723812009-09-22T21:13:00.000-07:002009-09-22T22:30:45.686-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Srmiz6oC8II/AAAAAAAAA2g/WmJqYaS_hkk/s1600-h/DSC_0257.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Srmiz6oC8II/AAAAAAAAA2g/WmJqYaS_hkk/s320/DSC_0257.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384513842292387970" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SrmiP14zjEI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/C4yQl7p2iyo/s1600-h/DSC_0324.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SrmiP14zjEI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/C4yQl7p2iyo/s320/DSC_0324.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384513222545214530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Srmh9C_p7EI/AAAAAAAAA2I/OE2TR3i8b58/s1600-h/DSC_0308.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/Srmh9C_p7EI/AAAAAAAAA2I/OE2TR3i8b58/s320/DSC_0308.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384512899646090306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SrmhxB6oh1I/AAAAAAAAA2A/-E3s4DXP_0M/s1600-h/DSC_0269.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vW_QeStPDy0/SrmhxB6oh1I/AAAAAAAAA2A/-E3s4DXP_0M/s320/DSC_0269.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384512693198161746" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Last post I said I would post some of my pics from Washington DC so here they are.

It took me a day and a half to recover from the late night of DJ work in Viking. I only played music until 1:00 AM, but with pack up time and an hour and twenty minute drive back to Edmonton, it was 3:30 AM by the time I got home. Then the equipment had to be unloaded from the vehicle as it's not too secure if left in the van overnight.<div><br /></div><div>I guess I'm getting older because I was dead tired on Sunday. Anyways the wedding dance was another successful <a href="http://www.soundsationsmusic.com">Soundsations</a> production. The biggest challenge from the DJ's point of view was that the groom and some of his friends were really into heavier classic rock (think Rush, Ozzy Osbourne etc.) that isn't so great for filling a dance floor. Of course I made sure I played a bit of their music every now and then. It got funny looks from some other factions of the crowd, so I made sure I announced that this was a special request from the groom. Nobody really danced during these selections, but sometimes that's alright and it keeps the rock fans happy. Luckily the groom was very nice and understood that I needed to DJ to the entire crowd to make the dance a success. I even ended up getting a tip from him at the end of the night which is always appreciated.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm taking a break this coming long weekend and I'm off to Washington DC. Hopefully I will have a photo or two of the U.S. capital to post on my next blog.</div>Chris Humphryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12246023535570590654noreply@blogger.com0
