NC ADJA 2009 Chapter Of The Year

DJ Steven Dail — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:44:00 GMT

ADJA: Charlotte, NC – Press Release

Charlotte, NC Chapter Wins National Recognition

Local Association Named Chapter of the Year

Charlotte, NC – February 15,2010- Disc Jockey entertainers from across the nation converged on Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the annual Mobile Beat DJ convention. When festivities wound down, the Charlotte NC chapter of the American Disc Jockey Association had been recognized as the 2009 Chapter of the Year.

Charlotte ADJA Founder and Past President Brian Hines said many elements contributed to the prestigious award. “Although the chapter is approaching just it’s 2nd year of existence, ADJA members have already been privy to a nationally-recognized industry speakers such as Mike Walter, Troy Ackerman, Peter Merry, Scott Faver and National ADJA President Dr. Drax. These speakers along with other local, regional and national representatives spoke on a wide range of informative topics to enhance the efficiency and profitability of DJ entertainers in the Tarheel State.”

In announcing the award, National ADJA Secretary Brian Graham recognized the Charlotte chapter for the successful hosting of the Mobile Beat Summer Tour. The road show, meant as a pre-cursor mini-convention of last week’s Las Vegas event, came to Charlotte in August and drew more than 100 area DJs for seminars, gear demonstrations and networking. Organizers of the Mobile Beat Tour say the Charlotte ADJA chapter was “the grand champion among all chapters, drawing more attendees than any other stop”.

Graham said the Charlotte chapter was also instrumental in 2009’s National Association of Catering Executives Convention held last summer at the Westin. Founder and Past President Brian Hines served on the NACE Planning Committee while other Charlotte chapter ADJA members served as seminar facilitators. For the first time ever, NACE opted to utilize DJ entertainment for their closing gala. ADJA member Mark Pezzela and Five-Star Entertainment’s impressive presentation of sound, lighting and video had NACE members packing the dance floor through the group’s grand finale.

In addition to hosting these events, members of the ADJA Charlotte chapter meet each month to network and increase their awareness of cutting-edge trends and technology through seminars and equipment demonstrations.

In Las Vegas to accept the 2009 Chapter of the Year award for the Charlotte ADJA were Founder & Past President Brian Hines, Current Vice President Steven Dail and ADJA Member Mark Pezzela.

Famous Quotes for "Excuses"

DJ Steven Dail — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 02:27:00 GMT

I received an email today making excuses for someone's actions.
I found these Famous Quotes for "Excuses".

Do you find yourself making excuses when you don't perform? Shed the facade and face reality. Excuses are the losers' way out. They will mar your credibility and stunt your personal growth.

"Excuses are tools of the incompetent, and those who specialize in them seldom go far."

Alexander Pope: Quotes: Excuses
An excuse is worse than a lie, for an excuse is a lie, guarded.

Aldous Huxley: Quotes: Excuses
Several excuses are always less convincing than one.

Kimberly Johnson: Quotes: Excuses
Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

Thomas Fuller: Quotes: Excuses
Bad excuses are worse than none.

Elbert Hubbard: Quotes: Excuses
Don't make excuses, make good.

Publilius Syrus: Quotes: Excuses
Every vice has its excuse ready.

Benjamin Franklin: Quotes: Excuses
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

Gabriel Meurier: Quotes: Excuses
He who excuses himself, accuses himself.

Henry Ward Beecher: Quotes: Excuses
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you, never excuse yourself.

Yiddish Proverb: Quotes: Excuses
If you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld: Quotes: Excuses
Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.

Napoleon Hill: Quotes: Excuses
The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.

Thomas Szasz: Quotes: Excuses
Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.

H. V. Adolt: Quotes: Excuses
We are all manufacturers. Making good, making trouble, or making excuses.

Abraham H. Maslow: Quotes: Excuses
We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, and callings.

Rudyard Kipling: Quotes: Excuses
We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse.

Bill Clinton: Quotes: Excuses
“Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.”

George Washington Carver: Excuses
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

Doug Brown: Excuses
It is easier to find an excuse than to find a reason.

Eric Hoffer: Excuses
For many people, an excuse is better than an achievement because an achievement, no matter how great, leaves you having to prove yourself again in the future; but an excuse can last for life.

Laura Schlessinger: Excuses
People with integrity do what they say they are going to do. Others have excuses.

Questions to Ask a Wedding/Party DJ Before You Hire Them!

DJ Steven Dail — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:07:00 GMT

Questions to Ask a Wedding/Party DJ Before You Hire Them and "Our Answers"

♦ Is the DJ available?

Begin your conversation by indicating your name, the date, time, location and type of event.

♦ Are you experienced?

Yes. We have been performing all over the Carolinas since 1994.

♦ Is the disc jockey willing to meet with you for an interview before you hire them?

It is important that the DJ you choose be a professional who is willing to dedicate time and effort to your event. This commitment should start before any agreements are made, and a dedicated professional should be happy to meet with you to answer any questions.

A great deal of planning goes into having a great wedding. Your DJ should be just as committed to making your special day wonderful and be willing to meet with you at least one additional time prior to your wedding. The DJ should be available to discuss necessary details by telephone and email throughout the entire planning process.

♦ Do you offer a contract?

Absolutely. Our contract is straightforward and written in plain English so that you can understand the terms before signing. With our contract you can have a peace of mind knowing that there will be no surprises or hidden extra charges. We will also give you a copy of the contract for your records.

♦ How interactive are your DJs?

Whether you want a conservative DJ or an outgoing Interactive DJ, it's your choice. By default, we're only as interactive as necessary to keep your guest having an incredible time on the dance floor. Even at our most outgoing level, we still remain totally professional and not "Cheesy" or "Corny." We do not take the spotlight from the guest of honor, but rather "enhance" your event with interactive activities. Simply put we are interactive in a "classy" way.

♦ How will you dress for my event?

It's up to you! Normally, we wear a tuxedo for formal events. If you want us to wear something more casual, we can. We always make every reasonable attempt to accommodate your code of dress. For instance, if you want us to wear a costume for your costume party, we will. We will ask you what you want us to wear. It would look ridiculous for us to show up to a casual beach party in a tux, so let us know. Some options are Black Tuxedo, Black Suit, Shirt and Tie, "Business Casual," golf style shirt, Hawaiian shirt and shorts or a giant gorilla suit. We do not charge extra for formal wear as opposed to casual (some DJs do, so be sure to ask)… but we will probably charge more for that gorilla suit idea.

♦ Do you have a reception planning form and can we meet with you in person before our wedding to discuss it?

Experienced wedding DJs have a Wedding Reception Planner to determine the timetable of events for your reception and the perfect song to accompany each event. Your DJ should be willing to schedule an appointment with you a few weeks before your wedding to finalize reception plans. Remember, your DJ is also your MC who will be coordinating all the events of your reception. The more your DJ understands about your preferences, the better job he will do.

♦ Are you licensed and insured?

We are licensed as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) by the state of North Carolina.We are fully insured by North Carolina Farm Bureau. We carry a $1,000,000 liability policy that will protect us and the customer in the event that the unthinkable occurs.

♦ Are you a member of any associations?

Although belonging to an organization or trade group does not guarantee the talent or professionalism of a disc jockey, it may indicate the companies willingness to network, learn and grow. Disc jockeys can learn through chapter meetings, national DJ conventions and seminars geared toward the entertainment professional. Booking a reliable Disc Jockey is a very important decision for the success of your party. Selecting a Disc Jockey who is an active member of the American Disc Jockey Association will provide you with the confidence that you have selected a trained professional. A.D.J.A. members are more likely to be involved with other Disc Jockey's who can help them out with an unexpected situation.
We are proud members of the American Disc Jockey Association and the Greene County Chamber Of Commerce.

♦ Do you "sub-contract" out to other DJs?

Be aware that some DJ companies act as booking agencies that assign many DJs to functions they book. To avoid any last minute surprises, make sure that you have spoken with the person who will be performing at your function before you book the event. Don't let your event be a training session for someone with little or no experience.We don't use sub-contractors. We don't depend on someone else to show up on time, with their equipment, their vehicle, and their music. We have it all, and it all leaves from our location.

♦ Will you make announcements if needed?

You bet. I am there to perform any master of ceremony duties and to keep the music and fun going.

♦ Do you take requests?

Yes

♦ Do you bring back up equipment?

Yes, I always bring it, but never have had to use it.

♦ What if you are unable to perform due to illness or an emergency?

Unfortunately, emergencies can happen. However, a good DJ will have a well-established back-up plan in place. In the unlikely event that illness or an emergency would prevent a DJ from performing, the DJ should take responsibility for securing a comparable replacement. A DJ should be a member of a professional DJ organization such as The American Disc Jockey Association (ADJA) whose members are always willing to assist a colleague. When asking your DJ this question, just be sure he has a plan to cover such situations. Stay away from the DJ who doesn't.

_________________________________________________________________________

Questions "Not" to Ask a Wedding/Party DJ

♦ ♦Can we come to a wedding to see you in action?

On the surface, this may seem like a reasonable request. Some DJ companies even claim they "have nothing to hide" and will invite their prospective clients to your wedding reception. However, most professional wedding DJs will not invite prospective clients to your wedding because they respect your privacy. It's not an issue of trying to hide something. A wedding reception is a private event intended exclusively for you, your family and your friends. The last thing you want or need at your wedding is a group of strangers (a future bride and groom with a Mom and a friend in tow) opening the door and walking into a hushed ballroom as your best man begins his toast.

♦♦ How much do you charge?

This is the first question you should ask only if you are looking for the least expensive DJ you can find. Rates for wedding DJs can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. If all you want is someone to show up with a bunch of CD's or an iPod and some speakers, then shop for price. Calling DJ's just to ask how much they charge for a wedding is pointless unless you already know the quality of service they will provide. How much experience does the DJ have with weddings? How much time and effort will the DJ devote to planning and preparing for your wedding? How good is their equipment? How is their music library organized? How are their microphone skills? How accessible are they for planning?
A wedding DJ is a service, not a product. You usually get what you pay for. As a good rule of thumb, "Good DJs are not cheap and cheap DJs are not good".

Who moved my cheese?

DJ Steven Dail — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 18:34:00 GMT

Who Moved My Cheese? is the story of four characters living in a "Maze" who face unexpected change when they discover their "Cheese" has disappeared. Sniff and Scurry, who are mice, and Hem and Haw, little people the size of mice, each adapt to change in their "Maze" differently. In fact, one doesn't adapt at all...
