University College Marjon Plymouth 08/07/2009

This event was a first for R.J.Rhythm and the crew to be working at The Marjon University College also known as The College of St Mark and St.John in Plymouth. This was rather a late booking for us as it only came in from a couple of nights before as my friend Dizzy Daz from plymouth gave them my number. The Evening was to finish off a Summer School that they run for 16 year old students who are thinking of attending the College after the summer holidays, which I think is a great idea myself as we did not get opportunities like this when we were growing up.

With me on this booking was Freddie and Scott. We arrived at the venue about 6pm, Freddie and Scott carried in the equipment and helped me to set. We were booked from 8.30 till 11pm but we started at 8pm as the crowd were ready to go with lots of excitement. The evening was booked as a Karaoke and Disco Evening to celebrate the end of Summer School and the theme was Super Heroes. Almost everyone was dressed up as some sort of super hero but we also had the full party of the Smurfs, now obviously The Smurfs may of been super heroes to these kids lol but I am surprised they remembered them. Everyone looked great even some of the Tutors were dressed up and the atmosphere throughout the night was magnificent.

Well as I said we started the party off about 8pm and from record 1 we had people dancing.and within 10 minutes or so we had the first person up doing Karaoke. We had lots of Karaoke requests throughout the evening and I must say we has some brilliant singers too. I would go as far and even say some of them were defiantly X Factor material. Students and Tutors sang throughout the evening as we had a great party atmosphere all night long. As it was the finish of the Summer School towards the end it actually got quite emotional as you can guess as everyone knew that it was nearly time to go home after a week of excitement and making new friends. We did take pictures and video of this event which the college has but I’m sorry that they will not be uploaded to the internet for child protection issues.

Well we eventually finished at 11pm and I was quite sad myself to be finishing as we had what I would say one of our best nights of Karaoke on this evening. It took us about 45 minutes to pack away and get everything into the van. We eventually got home at 1.00am and were completely shattered again after yet another successful evening with myself and the R.J.Rhythm Entertainments crew.

I personally would like to wish all the students every success in what they decide to do for the future and would also like the thank the college and staff for making me so welcome and giving me the chance to work with these students.
