My day started at 8:15.I wanted to get up earlier but I wake up slowly.I got dressed brust my teeth etc and had a cup of tea.Then I went about the tasK of loading my DJ gear into the car.
When I got there Coey Sherman was unloading his gear off his truck.Amps and speaker were already set up for the band.Tyler and the others arrived shortly after.
After getting Set up Sheryls husband Joe and I realized my extention card would reach the outlet and he got me an extention to the extention.All went well.There were announcements before the Sherman brothers went on.A few high school kids read speeches they wrote on why they care for the enviroment.
The sherman brothers did great and Ed Austin played well too.Afterwards a group of young girls tapdanced and they were really good.
Then they did a hoola hoop cantest and I played Jack Johnsons song reduce reuse recycle and other upbeat songs.
Then a band called Soup sandwhich came on.The did some cool rock and surf instrumentals and did a cool rendition of Soul Finger.
Meantime I headed off for a bite to eat.I had a burger and a coke and then I walked around to check things out.
The DARE car is always impressive.The first aid trucks are too.Lots of work goes into both drug awareness and the first aid squad and sadly enough they are also feeling the economys pinch!We need our Teachers,emergency services and our law enforcement.I tried to stress that on occasion.
Near the end Sheryl and her posse tossed out a bunch of beach balls and I already had celebrate good times cued up so I played it.The kids were having fun.The song wemnt along perfectly.I was so happy.
I stayed till almost everyone was gone and provided good music for those folks packing stuff up and breaking down tents,tables etc.
The last song I played was "so long farewell" from the sound of music.
They had one of the guys with the go carts haul my gear to my car which I was thankful for.Loading up and breaking down is exausting but its a labor of Love so I still happy at the end of the day when those 35 lb speakers go into the closet.
I planned on a nice quet dinner...Then I saw I got a CD in the mail from a fellow mix maker.I had to play it.
Back in a few days with that and other news!
