With the beginning of the school year comes “welcome dance” season! This consists of homecoming dances, freshman dances, and of course the famous UCSD All Campus Dance. This year Prodigy was invited to come be the main-stage DJs. Neither Kedar or I had ever been to the UCSD dance, but we had definitely heard some stories about it. This year we saw first hand what all the hype was about. Here are some pictures of the setup, and the 6000+ guests. Thanks again University of California, San Diego, we had a great time!

As I promised, here is a recap of what went down at Battle Royale LA. We got their mid-afternoon and began setting up. We wanted to be sure to have everything set and done prior to tech time starting which was around 7:00. The setup was pretty small, but definitely did what it was supposed to do.

The room was long and very wide. This was something we needed to prepare for when setting up lighting, sound, and power. We brought in a truss arch with DMX movers and LEDs on and inside of it. On both sides we setup main and directional speakers to cover the length of the room. To light up the dancers we setup towers in the back with conventional lighting to make sure everyone was illuminated. For the judges, we setup a stage at the back where they were elevated and able to see the dance teams. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Remember to take a look at their website for more information about the fundraiser the event was for, and how we can help.

As you guys have probably noticed, here at Prodigy we are huge followers of the dance community. We collaborate on a lot of events with different teams whether it be for performances or fundraisers. We recently did the production for VIBE XIV last March (with LTD) which was really cool. The next event we are working on is Battle Royale LA with Omega Sigma Tau. The request for Prodigy was to create a concert/show for the competition, and then quickly transition the event into a full blown clubbing event with bars and alcohol, lights, lounges, dance stages, sound, and DJ setup. Prodigy has been working hard all week, but we have some crazy stuff planned for this event.

There are 4 teams performing which you may recognize from other competitions such as Vibe, Fusion, World of Dance etc.

Last Tuesday, Prodigy stepped in to help out with Kick-Mix Productions to setup for the LMFAO show at UCI. It was a small setup, but definitely exciting with the concert going on. We’re huge followers of LMFAO here at Prodigy, and was stoked to be able to watch the show up close and meet them in person. I quickly went over the pictures and pulled out some that I liked. Enjoy!

Some of our favorite fans. Thanks for the pose guys.
