The Art of the Quinceañera

By Cheryl Q.

TRADITIONS, PAGEANTRY AND MUSIC: THE QUINCEAÑERA IS AN IMPORTANT CELEBRATION IN THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY

Quinceañera (pronounced keen-see-ahn-yair-ah) traditions have a long history dating back to the Aztec Indians and are very symbolic. The custom celebrates the 15th birthday of a Hispanic girl who is leaving childhood behind and now is assuming the responsibilities of womanhood. It is very religious in nature beginning with a Catholic mass where the Quinceañera reaffirms her faith in God. Family is important in this rite of passage.

VIPS

Some key people who may be acknowledged during the reception or may be introduced as a part of the entrance are:

• Abuelos (ah-boo-ay-lows) – Grandparents
• Padrinos (pah-dree-knows) – Godparents, whose spiritual responsibility to the Quinceañera ends.
• Patrones (pah-trown-ace) – Sponsors, who are people who contribute to the success of the celebration.

The Quinceaños (“fifteen years” – one of the three terms used to identify the celebration—see if you can find the other two in this article) is a very elaborate event (even more than some weddings), is very expensive to put on (thus the importance of the Patrones), is usually a formal affair, and may revolve around a theme. Since this is such a major event, and involves extensive, wedding-style preparation on the DJ’s end, I typically charge the same as I do for a wedding.

The Quinceañera (also referring to the guest of honor) is dressed in a princess-like ball gown complete with petticoats and hoops. She has an Honor Court consisting of Damas (dah-mas) and Chambelanes (cham-bay-lahn-ace) similar to bridesmaids and groomsmen. Her escort is a Chambelan. While past tradition dictated 14 couples in the Honor Court (one couple for each year of the Quinceañera’s life), current trends are toward seven couples (one person for each year).

TRADITIONS

A number of traditions are usually part of the event, including the following.

Crowning – This is usually done by the mother and can be done at the church or reception. The crown signifies that the Quinceañera is a princess in the eyes of God. It also signifies the responsibilities she is now assuming. If your client says the crowning will be done at the church, you don’t have to do anything else. If it is going to be done at the reception, then ask who is going to do it, when it will be done and if any special music is required.

Changing of the Shoes – It is thought that up until this time, the Quinceañera hasn’t been able to walk in high-heeled shoes. It isn’t unusual for her to wear flats during the religious ceremony. At some point during the reception, her shoes will be changed from flats to high heels. This is done by her father, brother, padrino or other important male figure in the Quinceañera’s life. This signifies leaving behind childhood and entering adulthood. Special music is usually played during this tradition. Your client will let you know if they are going to do the Changing of the Shoes, who will do it, and when.

Presentation of the Last Doll – This is the last doll the Quinceañera will ever receive as a child. There are a number of ways the presentation can be made. There is a dance with the doll that may or may not be done. If the Quinceañera is not going to dance with the doll, I suggest that her grandmother present the doll to her.

The Dance (El Vals) – The highlight of the entire celebration is a well-rehearsed and choreographed dance involving the entire Honor Court. This is one of the first things the Quinceañera does as an adult. To be prepared, I strongly suggest that find out who the dance instructor is and go to some of the rehearsals. This is also a great way to cultivate new clients and meet an important vendor who can send business your way. The dance instructor may provide the music for the dance (or dances, if there will be a second special dance). They may also help with the entrance.

In each of these traditions, it’s important to let the guests know what’s going on and why.

MUSIC

Latin music and how it is used in the event is a regional matter. For example, in Arizona salsa is only something that is eaten, while in Miami it is something that is danced to. Rancheras, Bandas, Boleros, Cumbias, Nortena, and Corridos are some of the styles popular in the western states, while Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, Bachata, and Reggae are styles most requested on the east coast. Promo Only has “Tropical” (East Coast) and “Regional” (West Coast) music collections available, and TM Studios has incorporated both on one disc. Latin Grammy CDs are also a good source for a wide variety of popular music. The DJ Intelligence Top 200 has lists of wedding music that can also be used for entrances and dances with parents. Keep it age-appropriate when helping your client select their music. Interestingly, most of the requests I receive are first by type of music (such as Salsa, Bachata), then by artist, rather than song title.

RECEPTION

A typical order of events at the reception is as follows:

1. Entrance – announcing the Honor Court and Quinceañera (special songs)
2. Dance/Crowning//Changing of Shoes (order can be changed) (special songs)
3. Specialty Dance (optional) (special songs)
4. Father-Daughter Dance (special songs)
5. Last Doll Presentation (possibly special song)
6. Toasts
7. Thank You’s (usually done by Parents and Quinceañera)
8. Cake Cutting (may need “Las Mañanitas,” a traditional birthday song)
9. Candle Lighting or similar (may need special song)

IMPRESS YOUR CLIENT AND HELP YOURSELF

When you impress your client, you have the opportunity to earn big bucks. Do whatever you can to help them make the event a success. Sit with them face to face and help them plan the reception. Use the correct terminology—call the Quinceañera’s escort a Chambelan and the grandparents Abuelos. Some of the traditions have gotten lost over time, so suggest them and let your client know what they mean. Work with them on the dancing and music suggestions. Go to the dance rehearsals. And lastly, give your client “stuff’ such as music selection lists or a handy checklist of items they might need for the day.

FINDING CLIENTS

As most of the Quinceañeras are Catholic celebrations, call your local Catholic churches and ask about advertising in their bulletins. Go to Mexican restaurants and leave some business cards or fliers. You might ask if they know any Quinceañera dance instructors. If so, call them, as well as your local dance studios. Partner with local photographers who do “Quinces.” And there are supermarket bulletin boards that are usually free.

Have fun with Quinceañeras, and remember, when you participate in one, you are a significant part of a family milestone that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Korg Mp-10 Professional Media Player

KORG UNVEILS MP-10 PRO PROFESSIONAL MEDIA PLAYER
- All-in-one MIDI instrument and dual-song player for the mobile entertainer -
MUSIKMESSE, FRANKFURT, GERMANY, March 24, 2010 – Korg has introduced the MP-10 Pro Professional Media Player – the perfect musical companion for mobile entertainers, solo keyboardists, singers and amateur musicians. This revolutionary, all-in-one product brings together a reliable and comfortable performance interface with total control over the most essential forms of media required by the modern performer.

As a media player, the MP-10 Pro features two independent media song players; each is able to play both MP3 and MIDI files* directly from the massive 120 GB internal hard drive. The motorized 60 mm crossfader allows creative DJ-style mixing. Songs can be saved into multiple playlists, and the database can be sorted using any criteria. Playlists can be easily imported, or even created “on the fly.” The Browser gives an immediate view of everything available in the selected genre. Using the Find function, the MP-10 Pro will carefully search the entire database for the user’s favorite song. Once found, the song can be immediately sent to either of the two players.
* .mid, .mid+G, .kar, .xf, .mp3 + lyrics, .mp3+G

As a MIDI instrument, the MP-10 Pro can play MIDI files from the song players. The internal sound engine uses the same EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) found in the Korg Pa500 arranger keyboard and can also be played from an external MIDI device. The front panel offers four assignable performance pads for triggering sound effects and musical phrases. Numerous on-board effects are available for the internal players and MIDI engine. For the entertainer, singer or master of ceremonies, the MP-10 Pro is equipped with a TC Helicon vocal processor offering compression, EQ and delay. A pitch shifter for changing keys, a time stretch function for changing the tempo and an advanced vocal remover allow MP3 files to be customized to suit the entertainer’s style.

The MP-10 Pro features Korg’s huge color TouchView^TM display, offering extreme ease of use. A comprehensive set of connections provides the MP-10 Pro with maximum versatility. In addition to MIDI and USB connections, there are connections for a PC keyboard that make naming and cataloging songs very efficient. Two microphone inputs (one XLR and one ¼”) assure compatibility with nearly any mic. The video outputs (S-Video and Composite) allow karaoke style lyrics, chord changes or even full scores to be displayed on an external video monitor. A headphone-based cue system is provided as well.

The MP-10 Pro will be available July 2010 with pricing TBA.

FoamMasters X-Stream Canon Foam Machine “Goes Back In Time”

FOAM CANNON X-STREAM “GOES BACK IN TIME” THROUGH SNOWMASTERS SPECIAL EFFECTS

The debut of the FoamMasters X-Stream Cannon Foam Machine at the 2010 George Lindsey UNA Film Festival’s “Back to the Future” reunion coincided with the appearance of a DeLorean time machine replica.

Lexington, AL March 25, 2010 – With a stainless steel body similar to that of the DeLorean automobile made famous in the “Back to the Future” trilogy, the FoamMasters X-Stream Cannon Foam Machine is built to withstand the test of time. This foam machine produces 4,000 to 4,800 cubic feet of foam in 8 to 10 minutes (that’s a maximum of 480 cubic square feet per minute). The foam cannon fills a 20 to 40 ft area with foam 5 feet deep and lasts 40 to 50 minutes per one gallon of High Dilution Foam (FG-HDF) concentrate, using a premixed solution in the foam machine’s 25 gallon reservoir. The cannon shoots twenty to thirty foot streams of foam and its stainless steel construction includes a swivel base with locking wheels for adding some fun and frolic to your party, you can take aim and redirect the foam. The foam machine is made in America and available in 110V or 220V. The X-stream comes with a lifetime limited warranty and 24 hour technical support. Foam Masters Labs constantly invents and reformulates solutions in order to improve the rich foam production for its foam machines. There are also many different foam scents available such as bubble gum, vanilla, cherry, and more; foam can also be tinted blue, green, yellow, and pink. There are many ways to contain the foam such as with inflatable foam pits, construction of a containment area, or if used outdoors, by just by finding a suitable grassy area.
After years of perfecting illusionary snow fall at SnowMasters Special Effects, FoamMasters has applied that technology to create the top of the line foam party machines on the market. Since the SnowMasters snow is comprised of dry suds, it was only logical to evolve the technology into foam. FoamMasters’ easy-to-use machines produce mountains of foam for kids parties, nightclubs or auditoriums. Foam products are available as non-toxic, hypoallergenic, non staining, and environmentally friendly. Foam solutions also include a moisturizer for the skin. Systems are available for sale or rental. FoamMasters also provides complete onsite performances. Now you can throw your own foam party right at home anytime. Foam can be used to create unique experiences at church events, children’s birthday parties, Bar Mitzvahs, summer camps, night clubs, and even fund raisers. Every one of all ages loves to play in foam and this machine requires little to no maintenance.

Mobile DJ Games: Perfect For Mitzvahs

For Mitzvahs, the games segment is (almost) a prerequisite. I begin with “passive” walk-arounds during cocktail hour. Laminating these 3 will make them permanent repertoire additions.

1. Large rebus puzzles. (Book stores have them.)

Both of these use 8″ x11″ paper:

2. Make a large triangle. Centering, print on 3 lines as follows:
Spread
some butter on the
the BIG sandwich.
As each kid reads it quickly, invariably most say “Spread some butter on the BIG sandwich.” But it doesn’t. It says “Spread some butter on the the BIG sandwich.” Adults get stumped, too!

3. Using a large, thick font, print one color on each line: RED ORANGE YELLOW BLUE GREEN PURPLE BLACK. But color them differently. Ask the kids to quickly tell you the colors. They’ll start by saying “red.” Wrong! It’s blue, etc.

Hand out numbered raffle tickets for every win. At the end, ask the Mitzvah kid his favorite number, then “OK, Josh’s favorite number is 2. If the last number on your ticket is a 2, you’re a winner!” 10% win. It’s fair, luck of the draw and no one complains.

When it comes time for the actual games segment, there’s life beyond “Coke & Pepsi” and “The Limbo.” There are contests which are SO much more creative. With new, interactive games, make your parties STAND OUT from your competitor’s.

Mobile DJ Games: Killer Activity For May Gigs

Looking for a killer activity? I’ve used my my set for, literally, over a decade! It just doesn’t get old. CO-OP A WALKS/BUDDY WALKERS provide competition requiring total teammate cooperation. Partners stand on boards resembling skis, each holding two ropes (secured from the base). The object: walk to the end of the dancefloor with a partner and return, handing off to the next two contestants on your team. (As a relay race, you’d provide 2 pairs.)

Simple it is. Easy it’s not. If one team member is moving his right foot and the other is stepping with his left, they’ll be stalled, going nowhere. Absolute unison is required.

Each team will scream encouragement, often frenzied, as the tide can turn very quickly.

This game is suited for ages 8-Adult and best for groups of 20 to 40. This way you’ll have 10 to 20 members per team and 5 to 10 round trip relays, taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Perfect! Fun to participate. Fun to watch.

Each unit is made of hardwood with a cushioned base. It’s suitable for either indoor or outdoor use. There’s nothing to “break” so it’s durable enough to last for years.

For larger groups (and a much harder challenge) CO-OP-A WALK/TEAM WALKERS are designed for 4 people at once, instead of 2. It’s tough!

Mobile DJ Games: LED Sign at Gigs?

I love providing clients with anything unique and customized. Of course, making them feel special adds to my professionalism at the same time. I do it easily with an L.E.D. “Edge Lit” Sign. Underneath my (permanently etched) neon logo, clients fill in personalized messages. As family members add their handwritten thoughts, I have the photographer capture the moment. It makes a perfect page in the album!

I use a blue sign for Mitzvahs. It’s also available in red and green, illuminated using high intensity 10-year LED lights on acrylic. I decided how much of the sign I wanted dedicated to my logo. After I received a proof, there was no problem making changes to the spacing.

I hang my sign vertically over the black background of my DJ facade with the supplied chains. A knob allows ON, OFF or variable speed FLASHING modes.

I use the same 12″ x 18″ sign at every performance. But, as an upsell: since the neon pen is smudge-proof (you “erase” it with glass cleaner), instead of MY name etched into the acrylic, I offer my client’s THEIR name etched on the top of either a 18″ x 24″ or 24″ x 36″ sign. What an amazing sign-in board for their guests! If they’re going to buy one anyway, why not buy it from me? You can do the same.

High End DJs Need This From Shure

Shure Incorporated today reaffirmed its position as a worldwide leader in professional audio electronics by bringing personal monitor audio quality to a new level. The groundbreaking new PSM® 900 Wireless Personal Monitor System sets a new category standard by delivering an unprecedented combination of audio quality and RF performance to the most demanding professional events, installations, and tours.

“For well over a decade, Shure has been at the center of live performance with innovative wireless products that have allowed artists and performers to hear every nuance of their efforts while moving freely around the stage,” said Mark Humrichouser, General Manager of the Americas Business Unit for Shure. “With the PSM 900, we’ve built upon these innovations to create a new class of personal monitor, precision-engineered to deliver superior audio within a system that’s effortless to set up and unmatched in reliability. It’s an exceptional product with all of the hallmarks of Shure’s sound, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring it to market.”

At the heart of the PSM 900 system are a rugged, all-metal, ultra-thin wireless bodypack receiver (P9R) and a half-rack single wireless transmitter (P9T). The PSM 900 also will be available with Shure’s newly-introduced SE425 Sound Isolating^TM Earphones, which feature enhanced sound signatures and premium dual speaker technology in a small, lightweight design. Unlike earlier SE models, the SE425 features a unique, detachable cable and formable wire at the earpiece giving performers accurate sound and a secure fit.

The new PSM 900 Personal Monitor System combines the very best in features and performance including:

Superior, Accurate Audio Quality. Using Shure’s patented Audio Reference Companding – a more efficient process for compressing audio signals prior to transmission – and advanced digital stereo encoding, the PSM 900 delivers a more natural sound with less noise and greater dynamic range than competitive wireless audio systems. The result is a lower noise floor and crisp, clear sound at all audio levels. The PSM 900 provides tight, controlled bass response and unparalleled stereo separation.

Exceptional RF Performance. The PSM 900 takes Shure’s reputation for RF performance and reliability to a new level. Advanced technologies provide robust performance in difficult RF environments. The PSM 900 receiver features the same front-end filter as Shure’s UHF-R® Wireless System, as well as Active RF Gain Control that automatically reduces receiver sensitivity when an overload of RF signal is detected. The PSM 900 provides the most stable RF performance of any monitoring system on the market.

Compact, Ultra-thin Bodypack. The P9R is the thinnest personal monitor bodypack available, yet it doesn’t compromise features for form. For maximum flexibility, the PSM 900 includes CueMode, a patent-pending feature that allows users to audition up to 20 different monitor mixes on a single bodypack at the touch of a button. Any P9R can be used in CueMode so that monitor engineers can quickly hear each performer’s mix, without the need for any additional equipment. The all-metal P9R is also rugged enough to withstand the abuse of nightly performances but packs advanced features like MixMode® technology, which allows performers to easily set their own levels and create the mix they want without affecting others on stage.

Simple User Interface. Even the most demanding professional applications requiring multiple RF channels witness vastly improved efficiencies through a near effortless set-up. Utilizing Scan and Sync technology, audio engineers can easily analyze the RF environment for interference and identify available compatible frequencies within seconds. In addition, the dedicated RF Mute feature gives users the ability to set up audio and RF parameters without transmitting.

With the PSM 900 personal monitor, audio has never sounded so good and required so little effort. “The audio quality of the PSM 900 system is remarkable!” raved Earl Neal, monitor engineer for country superstar Toby Keith. “The use of colors in the LEDs makes the system easy to read at-a-glance, and I really like the construction of the transmitter and pack. I can’t wait to use a rack of these on tour.”

Pricing and Availability

Priced at $1,650USD (without earphones) or $1,800 (with SE425 earphones), the PSM 900 will ship in early to mid 2010. The systems will be available with and without premium Sound Isolating Earphones. The P9R wireless bodypack receiver and P9T wireless transmitter are available as separate components priced at $676USD and $974 respectively. All pricing listed is MSRP.

The PSM 900 carries a two-year limited warranty and can be purchased at select retail partners. Visit www.shure.com for a list of authorized dealers.

Highly efficient 36 MHz tuning bandwidth with optimized frequency ranges allows more channels on-air
