On Call



I love hypothetical situations. Let us describe one for you...

It's 7 on a Saturday night. You're a senior at a 5A school, one of the largest in the Beehive State with 2,100 enrolled students.

You're excited for your school's homecoming 'cause the boy you used to punch in grade school, the one you wrote notes to in middle school (with those check boxes to see if he liked you "more than a friend"), and the same boy you've been going to the football games with this year finally asked you to the dance-- Saturday, at 7.

You all spent too much money on your dresses and too much time on your hair, but Homecoming only comes once when you're a senior. Besides, Hank was nice enough to spend too much on the salad and ice-water you had for dinner, and he spent way too much on the flowers that are wilting around your wrist.

So...everything's pretty much perfect. But it's quiet. And while you can talk and laugh and suck on your hair (flavored hairspray, maybe), you'd rather dance. Problem is, the DJ hasn't shown up. And it's hard to suck on your hair and dance at the same time when there's no beat.

It's 7:15 p.m. and PowerPlay gets a call. Of course we're happy to bail you out.

In fact, it's something we've done quite a bit in the past few years- not just for school dances, but for weddings too. Saving that extra hundred bucks or so by hiring the kid using a couple kickin' car stereo speakers for sound, and a couple flashlights for sweet effects suddenly doesn't seem like such a good deal. All the planning in the world doesn't do much if you don't hire a capable company to provide the most important services of the night.

Save yourself the agony of a date where you actually have to talk with a guy you don't much like. We promise the music will be loud enough you won't have to talk at all. And if, for some reason, you don't hire PowerPlay- at least have your DJ sign a contract. Then, if you still get stood up, feel free to give us a call-- we're always happy to help.

Hunter High was about an hour drive away, but the decision to hire PowerPlay to rescue the dance didn't just save their homecoming--the subsequent decision to contract their remaining dances to PowerPlay will be saving the rest of their '05-'06 school year.

Thank you for letting us help, Hunter. We're excited to work with you this year.

Big thanks to N8 Dizzle coming all the way from Park City to throw down another successful PowerPlay production. That TT is fast.
