It is with high hopes that Mixed Impressions DJs begins another year that will be as successful as last. 2010 was a great year for us, with more weddings than ever and keeping the business very busy for only the two of us. That would be my brother Mark Haines, and myself.

As stated on this website (which needs to be updated), the business started in the late 80′s. We have enjoyed our highs and lows, but mostly highs. We have entertained in three states, entertained at several various state wide conventions at both the high school level and adult level. 

With any good business, when you do good business, you get return business. Mixed Impressions DJs has had that pleasure of working with many businesses and schools over the years for years at a time. Schools like Ephrata, Palmyra, Penn Manor, businesses like Murray Insurance, and Dean Witter, PSBA, and fund raiser events like the 4-Diamonds.

We appreciate the business of all the referrals that we continue to get from our former clients. To all of you out there that Mixed Impressions DJs has entertained for in the past, we sincerely thank you. Again, we look forward to another great year in 2011. Keep those referrals coming and I wish all the newlyweds from 2010, and all our past clients all the prosperity in 2011!  

The year ended for MIDJs on December 17, 2010 at probably one of our best patrons for years. The Ephrata Recreation Center. Not only have they contracted us year after year for at least 8 dances through the school year, but also a couple of pool parties at the Ephrata Pool as well.

As we have stated before in the Blog, a lot of our business is through referrals, and that is another area the Rec Center has done for us. Not just birthday parties for the younger crowds but weddings too. Thank you Ephrata Rec!

On December 3, 2010 MIDJs pulled a double with Manor Middle School and Centerville Middle School. These are two junior high schools that we have a year long contract with and have them for several years dating back to the early 2000′s. Two awesome schools to work with both faculty and student wise.

We look forward to 2011 and on-going. Thanks for another great school year.

It was truly an honor to entertain the fathers and their daughters at the annual Formal Dinner Dance. Although this event has been going on for over a decade, this is the first year that Mixed Impressions has entertained for this big event. What a great event. Just check out some of these fathers enjoying their time on the dance floor.

The daughters did show the fathers how to do the “dances” as you see in this picture where the fathers watched them do the moves to the Cupid Shuffle. However the fathers did join them for the Cha Cha and other fun songs! A wonderful meal was prepared by the Bent Creek Country Club and we simply had a fun night with the Fathers and Daughters. Check out some more pictures below.

On November 13, 2010, we traveled to the beautiful Fireside Inn in Strasburg for the students of Solanco High School 20 years ago. They didn’t change a bit. It was great to see about 50 students show up for this event. We even had some dancing too!

Here is the best part about this event. In the neighboring room, Solanco also had a 30 year reunion going on and we had some of the “former students” from the 30 years come over and dance at our party! Thanks to ALL those students in attendance.

What a fun event on the eve of Halloween, October 30, 2010. The adults took this time to dress up for a fund raising event to benefit the Palmyra football boosters. There were some amazing costumes like the one below.

It was a great night of some of the greatest classic songs or the 60′s through the 90′s and even a few of the hits of today! We had blast and they did successfully raise over $1000.00! Check out some more fun pictures below.

On Thursday night October 28, 2010, we went to an entertaining costume party at Hershey High School. It was a smaller event, but those in attendance looked good and had fun. You can see them all below in the pictures we have on the link. Students come up with the wildest outfits and team up with other students to make for a great Halloween party. Enjoy!

On the date of October 23, 2010, Mixed Impressions DJs pulled a double and entertained our biggest event of the year. Hempfield High Homecoming dance with an estimated 1400 students! Look at the sea of students in this picture.

We had speakers set up at points around the gym so everyone heard the hottest hip hop dance music mixes out there today! DJ Mark Haines kept the sound thumping and the lights dancing around the packed gym. Here a group of students stopped to pose for the camera.

What a fun night, these students know how to have a good time. We have more pictures on the link below of the hundreds of students just dancing the night away.

We traveled to Cross Keys Motor Inn on October 23, 2010 for the Eckert / Glatfelter wedding. It was a beautiful night for a beautiful event. It was a fun night for all as you see in this picture, our newlyweds take time while dancing to talk to their guests.

I entertained the groom’s relation back in June and was honored to then entertain here in October. Mixed Impressions business is primarily referrals for my wedding part of our business. Check out more pictures below.

October 22, 2010 was the first of 5 of dances at Manor Middle School. MIDJs signs a yearly contract with Manor and brings a nice little light show along with fun dance music and the infamous “Dance Circle” to the event.

These kids were kicking it good for the first dance of the year. They packed them in with over 250 students!
