More than 650 people from The World Water Park Association had their annual re-union at Rapids Water Park in Riveria Beach Florida on Oct 1, 3013. It was my pleasure to DJ/ MC and entertain this large group. First, I want to say that the group consisted of folks from all over the country and of many different ages which allowed me to play a wide variety of music. The evening started with Surf, Beach and Tropical music followed by hits from the 50s to modern times. It was not unusual for people to be dancing to The Beach Boys and then later, the same people danced to music by Adele. One of the highlights of the evening was seeing so many people reacting to The Orange Blossom Special!
At another point we had to organize everyone to gather in one area for a group photo which will appear on the December 1st front-cover of the organization's monthly magazine. Getting 650 people to gather was no easy task but I was able to climb to the top of a Water Slide with a cordless mic and get everyone's attention. The photographers followed and got some great pictures.
I want to give special acknowledgement to Hugh's Caterers who did an extraordinary job with a beautiful presentation. They were a joy to work and their professionalism surely helped with the success of this event. I want to mention The Proslide Technology Group which sponsored the evening event along with The Lifefloor group. Bob Morgan and his Rapid Water's Park staff were, as always, a joy to work with.
