This year’s Trunk or Treat in Burbank at our local elementary school was an absolute hit! After last month’s lively Back-to-School Night, we kept the fun rolling with a Halloween celebration full of music, games, and community spirit.

The evening kicked off with upbeat, danceable Halloween tracks that had both kids and parents moving to the rhythm. While our Back-to-School Night was more “poppy,” this time we turned up the energy with festive hits perfect for dancing and spooky fun. From the moment the first song played, everyone knew it was going to be a night to remember.

Students had a blast playing games like “Wrap the Mummy,” where they raced to cover friends in toilet paper, and “Ring Toss on the Cone Hat,” which turned out to be a crowd favorite. The laughter and excitement filled the air as each grade competed in friendly challenges for prizes and bragging rights.

When the competitions wrapped up, it was time to dance! We got everyone involved — kids, parents, and even teachers — with classic group dances like the Conga Line and Line Dancing. The energy was contagious, and soon the whole crowd was on their feet.

Of course, no Trunk or Treat would be complete without the decorated cars! Families went all out this year, transforming their trunks into spooky, funny, and creative masterpieces. There were contests for originality and presentation, and every car handed out plenty of candy to happy trick-or-treaters.

Our Burbank Trunk or Treat event was more than just Halloween fun — it was a wonderful way to bring our school community together once again. We can’t wait to see what creative surprises next year will bring!

Not everyone can speak Spanish. What happens if you find a really good dj but his Spanish is non existent? I have been a part of many Spanish weddings. Some weddings playlist have been all in Spanish. There have been times where the bride and groom offered to have a guest make the announcements in Spanish. Most of the time they just want to make the grand entrance in their language then the rest of the announcements the dj can do. They mostly do that so that the last names are pronounced correctly.

My Spanish is ok but I do have assistants who speak perfect Spanish so if the bride and groom want that then I make sure that assistant is available.

Also what helps is to have a script of what they are going to say. Some people say they are professionals and want to wing it but I advise to have a script. When it comes to announcements I like to repeat what is being said then rephrasing it so the folks that are not paying attention can follow directions. I do not advise using google translator for the Spanish translation because sometimes its translated but it’s not the correct meaning. If a Spanish script is written then it should be translated by a fluent speaker. 

For most Spanish weddings, I like to play a lot of cumbias. It’s the cumbias that gets everyone out of their seats and onto the dance-floor. Best bet is to have a playlist from the couple with Spanish music.
