Mixed Impressions DJ’s started the year off at the beautiful Fireside Tavern in Strasburg for the Solanco Class of 1989. A great crowd was a present for the fact it was 20 years. Surprisingly, still quite a few reside in the southern end of the county.

1989 was a good year for music, one of the biggest hits out of that time was Love Shack by the B-52s. Bon Jovi was big and plenty of others. We played a mix of music from the late 80’s till today’s hits too!

A good crowd, we had some dancing and plenty of reminicing. It was a good time had by all! We will have pictures coming.

We have had the pleasure of entertaining the students of the Pennsylvania School Board Association Conference since 2006. The annual Conference brings faculty and students from all over the state to the Harrisburg area for this 4 day get togehter. MIDJs gets the honor of entertaining them on a Thursday night. These students got together and danced!

Although from different schools throughout the state, they came and got to know each other and had a blast. Below we see some that posed for a picture.

Check the rest of the fun picks below and take notice of the students showing off their great dance moves!

On June 3, 2009, we traveled to the Millersville Pool to play music for the graduating seniors at Penn Manor High School. They have practice in the morning, then come to the pool for an afternoon of eating, swimming, basketball, volleyball, and Bingo! Bingo for big prizes, and just a fun time for the graduating seniors. Mixed Impressions comes in and plays fun music for all to enjoy listening.

But the biggest event of the afternoon was the Belly Flop Competition! Here is a tease of what you will see in the pictures.

Although, it may not be musically oriented, they simply enjoyed music being played throughout the afternoon! Thanks Penn Manor School District for another fun year of events at both the high school and middle schools. Check out this slide show in order, it will be much more appreciated that way!

What an event. The first ever Virtual Charter School graduation. Family, friends and students from the eastern part of the state came together at Willow Valley for their graduation.

After the ceremony, and dinner, then it was time to shine for Mixed Impressions Disc Jockeys. We played music for the rest of the night out in Palm Court and we had people from all over the state on the dance floor. We had to move tables to make room for everybody.

We apologize but were unable to post pictures for the event. But know this, they danced the night away till we had to shut it down.

The following weekend, April 4th, 2009, we entertained for our fourth and final High School Mini-THON at Hempfield High School. This was the first for Hempfield, and they started out witha huge success! Look below at the sea of students who came out to help raise money for the 4 Diamonds Fund.

Hempfield had great support from the school and faculty with over 70 teachers coming in throughout the night and around 400 students! They would like to double that for 2010! This is a “Battle 4 the Kids” and Hempfield played a big part in helping that battle. The great thing is the total amount raised as you see below!

That’s right, three great Lancaster County schools got together for one great cause! The 4 Diamonds Fund. For those that don’t know, 4 Diamonds is an organization that raises money to fight the battle of childhood cancer.

On March 28, 2009, the day after the Hershey THON, we traveled to Garden Spot High School, the sponsor school, and they were joined by students from Cocalico and Ephrata for a fun filled evening of dancing and games all for a great cause.

Check the fun of dancing below.

Games to many to list, but to highlight some, tug-a-war, ice cream eating, pie toss, the list goes on. All three schools came together to raise money for a great cause. Of course MIDJs were there for the music! You see below some more of that fun!

We look forward to going back next year. Now, the wonderful news about all of this…The three schools raised over $18,000.00! Great job to all involved.

We love these events! On February 27, 2009, we had our fun at Palmyra for a 4- Diamonds Fund which is an awesome cause for children. The 4-Diamonds Fund is a fund set up to fight and conquer childhood cancer. Click on the link above. As a result, many area schools have sponsored “Mini-Thons” to raise money to help fight the battle. Palmyra has done just that here again in 2009. Mixed Impressions had the pleasure of being part of this and entertaining the students with music and karaoke throughout the night.

Above you see the t-shirts made for the event that many of the students wore throughout the night. Almost 250 students participated in this great event! Way to go Palmyra! They had games from board games, to games in the gym, they had “spoof games” like the Newlywed Game and Family Fued. They had volleyball, basketball, handball. The list goes on. Plenty of fun activities for all the students to enjoy. All for the purpose of raising funds for the 4-Diamonds.

That they did! Palmyra raised over $22,000.00 to help benefit the fund! Again… Way - to - go - Palmyra!

How appropriate that on Valentine’s Day we traveled to the Revere Tavern and entertained for Joan and Bob Lorenz’s, 50th wedding anniversary! Although we don’t do many of these, it is always fun to see the wonderful families of people like the Lorenz families.

We played some games and music, and had some questions for the couple but I have to note the biggest event was when I played the Anniversary Dance backwards. We started with all couples married the longest to come to the dance floor. Our longest marriage was 63 years and going strong. Till we got to the 50th, we already had 8, yes that is 8 couples happily married for more than 50 years.

It wasa great afternoon! Congratulatoins to Joan and Bob for many more years!
