The Young Associates Black and White Gala is a fundraiser for the Asper School of Business. We performed in the VIP room in the Paddlewheel (at The Bay) which was a very cozy atmosphere. The stage was small, the lights were bright and the audience was a sea of flapper dresses and sharp suits. The crowd was warmed up by a jazz ensemble from the U of M, setting the mood.
The afternoon before the show we did a brief walk through and a sound check and playlist order. The songs were already set up but they needed to be paused in between so we could clear off and introduce the next act. Unfortunately when showtime arrived the sound tech was someone different. While he tried to figure out the iPod there was feedback and skipping songs. Thankfully Amanda, the wonderful event organizer, rushed over and put things to right! We were a little late in starting but once we got going the going got good!
My first act:
Ain't Misbehavin'!
Okay ... maybe I was misbehaving a little bit. ;-) Pictures, of course, taken by the fabulous John Ohm.
Saucily yours,
Miss Scarlet
