The Florida Keys in fall offers a seasonal wedding delight…

academydjs — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:04:53 +0000

Fall is a busy time for people in the wedding industry. The cooler temperature offer a more inviting atmosphere to all involved. The same is true even when heading south to the Keys. Islamorada Key to be exact. A couple from upstate Florida choose Academy DJs to entertain at their tropical vacation home getaway. The home was a perfect location for a wedding on the beach, two pools and a private beach with a million dollar view. Live steel drum music added the Caribbean flavor during the ceremony and cocktail hour. The reception had an eclectic blend of music ranging from country, hip hop, and even the traditional Jewish Horah dance was performed. Fun was had by all and I was privileged to entertain at this wedding reception.

Best Regards,

Music Video Dance Party by Academy DJs

academydjs — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:15:55 +0000

Do you love MTV, Fuse, and VH1? Music videos are an artform- why not play them over your dance floor for your big event? Have your favorite artists performing right in your venue, projected onto a large screen.

The same projector/screen can also be used to shoot live video footage of guests, as well as slideshows of still photos or home movies.

The music videos with projector and screen are the perfect touch for a lively wedding reception, a school dance, birthday or mitzvah. It is especially effective for reinforcing a theme, such as 80′s, Halloween, Luau, Las Vegas, etc. because of the visual impact of the large screen.

Check out www.AcademyDJs.com for more information on the music video service, and our other add-ons that would go with it. Try, for example, up lighting, fog machines, and laser lights to make the dance atmosphere complete!

Our experienced, professional DJs are VJs (Video Jockeys) too!! – Academy DJs – www.AcademyDJs.com

The photo booth is perfect for Florida school dances. Our photo booth is portable, and can comfortably accommodate small groups of people. With your rental, receive unlimited prints- which means all the students can get their photo taken without dollar bills/quarters, AND they get duplicate prints at no extra cost. Duplicate prints are perfect for keeping one and putting the other in the photo scrapbook (*included free with rental) or to split among friends. The dual printer systems allows for little to NO wait between photo sessions, and our attendant stays with the booth throughout the whole event to assist guests. PLUS you can get your school logo and the dance date/theme printed on each photo strip at no extra cost.

Text Live
Text live is a software program that allows students to text in their song requests and shout outs to appear on a large projector screen during the dance. No more waiting at the DJ booth for requests, and the screen allows for all sorts of contests, announcements, and more to be relayed in large readable letters.

Music Videos
Using a large projector/screen, Academy DJs can actually play music videos at the dance, which can also be coupled with LIVE video feed of students on the dance floor.

There is a lot to think about when it comes to a school dance. Trust the years of experience planning and performing school dances that the Academy DJs have.

Bar & Bat Mitzvahs by Academy DJs

academydjs — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:58:46 +0000

In Judaism, a Bar Mitzvah is a Jewish boy, and a Bat Mitzvah a Jewish girl, who has come of age. The terms are also commonly used to refer to the ceremony celebrating this coming of age.

Bar Mitzvah (pl. B’nai Mitzvah) comes from the Aramaic: בר מצוה, “one (m.) to whom the commandments apply”. (If it were Hebrew it would be בן (ben) not בר (bar). בר is “son” in Aramaic, and בן (ben) is son in Hebrew.).
Bat Mitzvah ((pl. B’not Mitzvah) is בת מצוה, “one (f.) to whom the commandments apply” (Ashkenazi: Bas Mitzvah).
