I was skeptical at best about performing as professional DJ at a Bingo Night Fundraiser but wanted to support my friends at Ticket 2 Eternity Productions. They are a group of fun and talented actors and writers who also happen to be gorgeous. But a professional DJ at a Bingo Night? Really?
Really. It turned out to be so much fun! It was at Jimmy’s #43 in NYC.What we did is played a game of bingo followed by a small dance break with DJ music. We even had background DJ music during the bingo games themselves. Who knew you could dance at a bingo fundraiser? They did; further proof of their creativity and playfulness.
One of the things I tried to do was to keep it interesting during the games by playing low volume music from around the globe. For each game I chose either a new genre and a different continent to draw DJ music from. I used the subcontinent of India as its own continent since they have such a large scope of music and current popularity. Also I had two games of Latin music to express different moods with even a set of Flamenco!
Between games during our DJ dance sets, each break was a different genre. A fun and inspiring DJ challenge to meet the needs and moods of an electic bunch of high energy people.
If you are planning a fundraiser and are wanting to do something a little more creative, I invite you to try a Bingo night with a professional DJ. It is fun, playful and raises money easily while smiling and laughing with some dancing as an added bonus.
