Its the event we’ve all been waiting for. The annual CADC party is here. This time, we’re doing it big, and with one of sponsors Heist & CO. With the purchase of every pre-sale ticket, we’re giving away a free collabo t-shirt we did with Heist & CO. These are limited, so make sure you guys get it this week!


Our editor was going through our events and hesitated when he came to pictures from our college foam party we had just finished. Jimmy ran it by Kedar and I, and we made the decision to post them up ANYWAYS! To be honest, it was one of the craziest college parties we had ever set up for. The event followed an undie run at a college we will not disclose here for obvious reasons. Thousands and thousands of guests showed up ready to party in their best looking under-garments. Inside the gym we setup a giant blow-up foam pit, with flying foam machines pouring thousands of hypoallergenic foam into the pit (yes, hypoallergenic!). Surrounding the in-door pit were lights, lazers, hazers and speakers. Top 40 and electro was played all night as some swam in foam, and others danced their butts off on the stages. Our team had a great time as we managed the pit in our swim trunks and kept the foam coming. At the end of the night we brought out the floor drying machines and sucked up all the water, and left the gym completely dry and spotless. Hope you guys like the PG-13 edition of our pictures ;D

Prodigy was recently offered the opportunity to work with the UCI Care-A-Thon. We took it, and we believe it was a success. After putting our heads together, we came up with some great ideas. Care-A-Thon brought in Stonefire Grill for dinner for all the guests which was good food. Outside was a booth offering free kettle corn, a personal favorite for me (because I'm hopelessly in love with it). Next to it, Prodigy setup an airbrush tattoo team giving all the kids and guests their own personal tattoos. Inside we also setup a giant rear-projection screen for Rockband as well as Street Fighter 4, and by it, a photobooth for people to get their pictures taken and printed. The usual music and lighting were done of course and some extra mics for the bands were provided.
Congratulations to those that helped put together this incredible fundraiser. We had a great time working with you guys, and would love to do it again soon.
P.S. The bands and dance teams that performed were awesome!

Yes, the title of this post needs to be in full capital letters. This is the event we've all be waiting for. Prodigy's Team and fans put on an event twice a year. This is our first event for the 2009 year. Its a time for Prodigy to really give back to its fans and throw one big party for everyone. So come out and party with us as we get ready for the summer! Elite was great, and our last CADC event was spectacular. This one will be.. wait for it.. LEGENDARY!

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.
