American Fork Idol

American Fork 3rd ward just had their annual American Fork Idol Lip Sync. The youth get into groups and perform a lip sync to their favorite song. This year we had Queen - Somebody To Love, Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby, Bruno Mars - Grenade and several others. I played the role of Ryan Seacrest and did a much better job - LOL! We had some leaders play their roles of Steven Tyler, J-Lo, Randy Jackson and even though she is not with the show we had our very own Paula Abdul. They nailed their roles right on the head. In fact that is why we had Paula back this year, she was so good at playing Paula we invited her back.

Got a lip sync coming up - Ablaze Entertainment will make it better then Idol...check out DJonFIRE.com for pictures and video of the night (coming soon).

Lindon 14th Ward

So Lindon 14th ward and another ward from Salt Lake got together for a small youth conference type of event. They wanted to have some dance lessons during the night so let the teaching begin. We started at 8:30 and began with West Coast Swing. We spent about 35 minutes teaching it and the youth loved it. We were going to teach other dances, but we thought the retention of one would be better. Most of the songs I played that night just happened to allow for the West Coast. You should have seen the youth out there doing West Coast to Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.

Insane night of music and cold. The event was up at Aspen Grove and it was bitter. The roads were barely plowed, but the snow was higher than the truck. There were icicles that I could not get my hands around - HUGE!

If you need lessons at your dance call ABLAZE ENTERTAINMENT at 801-380-7957 or checkus out at DJonFIRE.com

New Years Eve 2011

So this NEW YEAR'S EVE I was asked to DJ and young adult dance right here in American Fork. It was set to be a regional dance with people coming all the way from Salt Lake if they wanted to. Let's just say that we have quite a few from up north and down below. There were well over 500 packed into that gym. The music was jamming all night. I had a HUGE light show going on, thanks to my buddy Brady. In fact, we were pulling so many amps with the light show and fog that we actually blew the fuses twice during the night. It was pitch black in there but do you think any one cared? I didn't...the music and dancing played on and on.

The countdown was initiated and at MIDNIGHT - IT GOT LOUD! Darude - Sandstorm was played and the we continued to jam. What a night to remember.

This summer they asked me to come back and spin their Summer Party and with the reviews this dance got, I know this one will be even BIGGER! Hope to see you there.

If you have a giig that needs the best DJ - Call Stretch at 801-380-7957 or chack out DJonFIRE.com

Kristen and Chase's Wedding (Aug 1)

Wadley Farms was the location of last night's wedding. I had a blast again DJing this wedding. I did the music for the ceremony as well which took place near the fountain at noon, HOLY MOLY was it HOT! I had to take of my shades because sweat was pooling up inside of them as I bent over setting up my equipment. I do not think I have ever sweated so much...

They had a luncheon after the ceremony and WOW! Who ever did the catering made the best chicken ever, it fell apart with a plastic fork - so moist!

The reception didnt start until 6:30, so Annie met me and we jammed around town until then. I love my sweet wife so much, I have fun just hanging out with her. We really dont have to be doing anything and I fall in love with her over and over.

I made it back and relocated my system for the reception. I was only given 3 song suggestions to play all night, Zac Brown - Whatever It Is, DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide and Brooks And Dunn - Boot Scootin Boogie. Zac Brown was their first dance, so of course I played that, but the others did not get airtime as the Bridesmaids made alot of requests that took us throught the night. They ended about 20 minutes early and I was out of there.

Wadley Farms is such a beautiful place, I love working with them and look forward to everytime I do. I took some awesome pictures at this wedding so let me post them here (some of them)

Josh and Heidi's Wedding (July 18)

I was down in Santiquin DJing this wedding.

ONE AWESOME YEAR (July 17)

I have been married one year today, well not today as I am writing this on August 2nd. But what a year it has been...

Bennett / Tenney Wedding (July 11)

A buddy of mine from USSynthetic came up to me and asked me to DJ his daughters wedding. At first I was scared...I am getting old. If a buddy of mine has a daughter old enough to get married...WHAT? I am old...

I Djed Chantel Bennett and Stu Tenney's wedding. It was at Mellor Hidden Meadows Reception Center in Lehi. I was here Jan 3rd of this year for another wedding. The day was perfect, weather with a slight breeze, not too hot. I was setup for the ceremony in the upper gardens and then for the reception moved my equipment down to the lower gardens in a gazebo. I had a blast DJing this wedding. I took some real awesome shots from around the wedding and really do like photography, maybe I will offer either or DJing or photography, highly doubt I could do both. Anyways here are some pictures snagged at the wedding.
