My typical event is I show up set up my gear and play music. Every once in a while there can be others involved in the entertainment. I have played with a mariachi, or a banda, or just other musicians and or singers. If anything else is involved other than me playing I have to prepare for it. I knew the wife of the birthday boy was getting a samba group to perform at the party. I reached out to the group to make sure I had the music they needed. I had to play them in a certain order right after one another. 

 At the party they were giving toasts and I had to cue the samba team to get ready. 3 dancers came out with a drummer. They brought the energy with them. They danced to about 8 songs then they were interactive with the group the whole time. They brought in guests to do a routine and everyone loved what they saw. They had a contest on who danced the best from the guests. The lead Samaba Dancer took the wireless mic and was leading the new dancers.

It was an awesome show and entertaining. It is one way to spice up a party is to have an interactive dance group lead the entertainment. I can tell the guests enjoyed themselves. They were easy to work with since they were able to share their playlist with me and I was able to cue their dance song for the guests to learn  at the right time. If you look up the group it is called Sambaconmigo. I was very impressed.

Trivia: Everyone loves trivia. A Trivia host would need a PA system and a projector to display their questions. Different departments will face off with other departments to show their intelligence. Or better yet mix up the teams so different staff members can work with other members they would not typically work with. (www.Brainstormer.com)

DJ: The Dj can bring the party to the corporate event. They can include the lights for the dancing portion and also provide the music for the soundtrack of the night. Also they can provide the PA system for the host of the corporate event. (www.bwadj.com)

Karaoke Set Up: Some Djs have a Karaoke add on and can host the Karaoke event. Send the dj your list of retro hits so they are prepared. Team members can sing duets or in bigger groups. Make sure your dj brings multiple microphones for the karaoke singing.
