What kind of music do you play?
We can play ALL kinds of music.

What age group do you perform for?
Ages 4 to 99.

Can we come see you at a "live" event?
Only if event is open to public.
Sorry, no party crashers. Most events we do are private functions and we do not allow people to come to those parties. We base our bookings on "word of mouth advertising" or by people that "have seen us perform" or by "on line testimonials". However if we perform at an open function such as a local community open to the public dance than of course you can see us, but sorry no private affairs.

Is there a video of your performances of parties you have done for promotions.
Sorry, we do not put out videos. We rely again on "word of mouth advertising" "people that have seen us" and our on line "testimonials". We do not want other companies to see our videos and take our ideas, so we do not send anything out. We are very unique in our approaches even to simple dances such as the "chicken dance" and do not want to give away any information to other companies. And to make videos would increase our overall price of parties being booked.

Can you give me a list of references to check out?
Yes, there are lots and lots of references for all types of parties we have done listed on our website in the "TESTIMONIALS" box.

How soon do you arrive prior to each show. Normally 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to each show, depending on type of show and the set up we need.

Do we have a specialty?
Yes we can teach over 275 dances.
We are extremely knowledgable in all genres of music. We are very interactive, and we offer many different services as noted through our web site, carnival games, mini golf.

Do you use computers or cds, turn tables?
Computers, we have many back up systems.
All music has been purchased.
We use all professional equipment and have backup equipment for each job.

With kids and adults playing carnival and golf games collecting and returning balls and coins can germs be spread?
**We disinfect all game coins, balls, golf clubs and holding utilities and wipe down all games with a disinfectant spray and cloth after every booked carnival or golf event.**

Can we meet you in person?
In todays society, there is no need to meet in person prior to any event, anything needed to be said or discussed or shown can be done via, email, web site, web cam or telephone. We respond within 24 hours to all inquiries. You can contact us as much as possible, but there is really no need to meet.

But what if we wanted to meet?
There would be a fee of $120 per hour for any meeting. We just feel that what ever you have to say or need to know, can be done, email, phone, web site. We recommend you save money and do it the quickest way by telecommunicating.

Can I chose the music for my party?
Yes, we encourage you to. We put requests sheets out at each party for your guests to write down their favorite songs. All songs must be clean edited versions and fit in with crowd.

Do you give out prizes?
Yes, for contests that we perform, we include the prizes in the original price. We do not give out inflatable objects because people usually just wind up hitting each other with these objects.

Who controls the volume of the music?
You do! If it is to loud or low we will adjust to your preference.

Do you offer video services?
No, but anything we do not offer in the music/entertainment business we will lead you in their direction. We only work with the best in the business.

Are you insured?
Yes we are fully insured as well as registered with the state as a business and incorporated as a company. We belong to an organization called N.A.M.E
(National Association of Mobile Entertainers).

Are you lisenced by BMI, ASCAP?
No mobile DJ's are not required to have a lisence for private parties. Any place that hires us (the venue) is required to have a lisence if open to the public. Most of our jobs are private functions and not even open to public, like weddings, sweet 16's.

What type of speakers and mixers do you use? Which one's will you bring to my party?
