Powerplay DJ had the chance to entertain many young trick or treaters this Halloween. The Fargo Jaycees held their annual Community Halloween event at the Scheels Arena (formerly the Urban Plains Center) for children of all ages to trick or treat at. There were blow up games, a maze made out of straw bales, many fun games the kids could win candy at, and of course great music from Powerplay DJ. The attendees also had the chance to donate to the food shelf and help out the community. We here at Powerplay DJ believe that this event is such a great way to help out the community by providing a safe and fun environment for kids to trick or treat on Halloween. Great job again to the Jaycees, the West Fargo JROTC, and the many other volunteers who helped out with this event!

Powerplay DJ has had the chance to perform for over 10 high school homecoming dances this fall. We had a great time performing for some of the best shows that we have seen in a long time! Every school danced the night away and rocked our socks off with some amazing dance offs, break dancing, and dance circles. Needless to say these high school students really knew how to have a great time and we look forward to many more homecoming dances like these in the future. We hope to see you all at your proms next spring!

On Friday June 24, 2011 Powerplay DJ had the chance to provide our services for American Cancer Society Relay For Life in Fargo, ND. We played music and karaoke throughout the evening and were astounded by the amount of support that was given to cancer survivors everywhere by all of the participants. Relay for Life is an overnight event that celebrates cancer survivors and helps raise money for the American Cancer Society. With over 240 participants and 38 teams they were able to raise $60,659.75 for research and programs for the American Cancer Society. A big thanks from Powerplay DJ to all of the participants and survivors who were able to help support this noble cause!

This past weekend Powerplay DJ had the chance to support the Fargo Marathon participants, over 22,000, by performing in the 2011 Bands on the Run. We were located at mile 18 of the marathon on the front lawn of Mary Noel and Ross Zink’s home, who are pictured to the right dancing. We kept the music rocking all morning and into the afternoon as the runners made their way into the last quarter of the marathon. Everyone seemed to have a great time and were more than happy to help support the 2,211 runners who participated in the full marathon in their effort to complete the 26.2 miles. We would like to thank Mary and Ross for being gracious hosts and also for allowing us to join them in cheering on the runners. Congratulations to all of the participants and great job!

Powerplay DJ recently had the chance to collaborate with FPN Gaming for a Casino Night held by Thrivent Financial. The set up included multiple gaming tables, including Texas Hold ‘Em, Black Jack, Roulette, and Craps, as well as karaoke provided by Powerplay DJ. With a chance to win multiple prizes provided by Thrivent Financial the players had a blast trying to accumulate as many chips as they could for more chances to win a prize. For many it was a learning experience but with the help of the professional dealers all of the players seemed to grasp the games very well and have fun in the process. Karaoke was also a big hit with a long line of singers ready to sing their favorite songs and many people dancing the night away on the dance floor. With this Casino Night being such a great success I would recommend a Casino Night for your next company party, after prom party, or after graduation party!

This past fall, Powerplay DJ had the chance to rock the socks off of Minnesota State University Moorhead’s (MSUM) incoming and currently enrolled students. The first event we performed at was the freshman orientation black light dance that was put on by the Student Orientation Counselors of MSUM. This dance was held for the incoming freshman during their orientation week before the start of the fall semester. The dance had one of the best turn outs they have seen in many years. With over 1,000 students showing up to dance the night away. Having been a Student Orientation Counselor myself for three years I was quite blown away by the turn out and I was honored to be able to DJ this event. The second event that we performed at was MSUM black light Halloween dance at one of the Dragons After Dark events. It was held in the Comstock Memorial Union and we blew the roof off of the place. We set up a dual system that included four BOSE speakers, four BOSE sub woofers, our giant screen and projector for music videos, and black lights surrounding the dance floor. The turn out for this dance was astounding with 575 people signing up for the costume contest alone. Both of these events had great turn outs and were a great way for the students of MSUM to have an amazing time in a safe and friendly environment. We are honored that we were asked to provide the entertainment for both and hope to be able to have more great dances like these in the future.

This past weekend, Powerplay DJ had the great opportunity to DJ the 6th annual Freaky Fright Night which was put on by the Fargo Park District. This was a great event for families to come out and have a good time in a fun and safe environment. There were many different costumes to be seen, including Buzz Lightyear, Snow White, and Transformers. Besides dancing, kids could make crafts, eat all sorts of food and candy, drink dragon snot punch, and if they were brave enough, enter the haunted house! One of the most interesting parts of the night was when Larry the magician took the stage. He wowed kids and parents with his juggling acts which included: machetes, balls, bowling pins, plastic bags, and rings. Larry also made a handful of balloon animals for lucky guests of the audience. This was a great event that the Fargo Park District put on, and we feel honored that we were asked to provide the entertainment again this year.

This last weekend, Powerplay DJ got the chance to play at one of the newest venues in the Fargo/Moorhead area, Rustic Oaks! Rustic Oaks is located 10 miles South of Moorhead on Highway 75, and lies right on the Red River. This was just the second wedding to be held at Rustic Oaks since it’s opening. The dance was held in the second story of an old barn with a huge deck overlooking the banks of the Red River. The reception and ceremony were held outside amongst the trees and flowers, which were a beautiful backdrop for the wonderful couple, Jenny and Chad. The dance was a blast, and it was exciting to have the opportunity to play at this unique venue!

Powerplay DJ was recently asked to provide services for the annual Midwest Kids Fest held at beautiful Island Park in downtown Fargo. Midwest Kids Fest is an all day event for kids and their families to participate in. We were there providing karaoke entertainment for the guests. After a slow start, the singing picked up and we were busy all day!  The weather cooperated beautifully for the all day event, which is always a blessing in June! It was great to see so many families participate!
