Santa Barbara's Notre Dame School had it's annual fundraising auction this year at the Bacara Resort and Spa. We were very fortunate to have been a part of this year's event, providing all audio (multiple sound systems) and visual (rear projection screens) equipment, as well as draping, uplighting (LED and incandescent), spotlighting (stage and auction items) and staging. Kudos to amazing event planner, Emma Lombardi, who put together a very successful and well coordinated event. Thanks for having us - we hope to be a part of next year's event as well :)

Proms are always a fun time. But it would be hard to come across a prom as amazing as Cate School 2012!

From start to finish Cate School did it up in a big way. GRP was hired to come in, not only to provide a DJ and Karaoke System, but also to add the impressive "Starry Sky" LED backdrop and white silk entry way draping. That, combined with the wonderful decor provided by the volunteers and teachers of Cate School created a perfect setting for a record breaking party. 

After a luxurious boat cruise aboard the Channel Cate, the 60 Cate School Seniors rolled into the Santa Barbara Hyatt for hours filled with dancing, dining, photos, and performance. Things got off to a quick start with DJ Epik warming on the floor and our MC Rooster getting everybody worked up for the night to come and handing out glow toys to add some color. 

After a short dance set, dinner was served and everyone quickly took their seats. Mark the Magician made his rounds entertaining everyone and the karaoke got started with a performance of 'Wanna Be' by the Spice Girls! The kids were eager to get back to dancing though, and it didn't take much to get everyone out of their seats and packing the dance floor. With the Photo Booth and Portrait Photographer in full swing, the Hyatt staff opened up the dessert buffet but even with all these great activities the kids still kept the dance floor packed while DJ Hecktik laid down his usual stellar set. 

The hours flew by and before anyone knew it it was time to call last song; even that didn't stop these kids from dancing! Rooster had to tell them three times to get off the dance floor and get ready to head on to their next part of the evening, Golf n' Stuff! At 10:45 the music was shut down and people reluctantly shuffled out the door. 

Proms are always fun, but not every prom is as awesome as Cate School 2012! Thank you Cate School for having us, we had a great time and hope you did too!
