On Friday my friend Carmen invited me back to Dj the Richmond Training Centre's 12th Annual RTC Gala. About 180 parents, friends, honoured guests (Richmond Hill Mayor David Barrow and CBC commentator PJ Kwong made it out!) and figure skaters filled the Sheraton Centre North for the annual fundraiser.
This was my second time DJing the event and this time around just like last did not disappoint. Both parents and kids were ready to party and it didn't take long for the dance floor to fill up.
The set list was very top40 heavy given the younger crowd. Doing these types of events with a large age gap can be tricky. Music with sexual references and profanity is pretty much the norm these days so you have to be care full in your music selection. Luckily being a member of the ZIPDJ music pool downloads come in many flavours including clean edits without swearing. I cringe when I ref hockey and there is a young lad playing music off his smart phone during stoppages in play....yes Eminem is great...but he uses the F word a lot!
As soon as the party started glow sticks were handed out and the lights turned off. With my small light set-up the dance floor was rocking right off the bat and stayed that way well past most of the kids curfews!
It is apparent this is very tight nit group of individuals. The support for each other was apparent throughout the night especially during the awards ceremony. I guess you have to be. Figure skating being an individual sport can put a lot of pressure on an athlete therefore support is all you can rely on sometimes when battling through adversity.
In all it was a great group of people last night and I hope to work with them again in the near future.
