Live In Living Color: Sarah’s Bat Mitzvah Celebration

Published October 23, 2011 | By Rich Ellis

After performing at a wedding Friday night, it was a quick turnaround for me the following day with a 12:30pm start on Saturday, October 22, 2011 for Sarah’s Bat Mitzvah Celebration held at the World Forestry Center in Cheatham Hall.

Guests arrived to a short set of background music before Sarah’s father Ken welcomed everyone and introduced a video he had put together. At the conclusion of the video, I took advantage of an excited group of kids to get the party started and ramped up the energy with a swing dance contest. Sarah’s family provided some great prizes, including Jamba Juice gift cards and mini-games.

While the adults engaged in conversation, I led Sarah and her friends through one event after another, including a hula hoop and limbo contest and two rounds of ‘Jukebox Eliminator’ interspersed with some of their favorite hit songs, such as ‘Dynamite’ and ‘Firework,’ the ‘Cha Cha Slide’ and more.

Sarah is also a big fan of musicals and the final 90 minutes featured many of her favorites from “Live in Living Color: Catch Me If You Can”, “Wicked”, “Suessical” and more. The kids had a great time acting out parts and singing along. I really enjoyed this group… they were a lot of fun and full of life.

Mazel Tov Sarah and thank you mom Michelle for choosing PRO DJs. -Rich
