HIGH SCHOOL EVENTS

Our students were from across the state and from very diverse backgrounds.  Showtime Entertainment selected music that the students recognized and kept dancing throughout the night.  Afterward, I learned that they even bought a few non-traditional songs just for our event.  I was very impressed by the entire experience from start to finish and strongly recommend their services!  -- Renee Welk - Iowa Jobs for America's Graduates (IJAG) [4/19/07]

By Far The Best.  Deb was friendly, fun and professional.  If she thought a song request was questionable, she would check with me before playing it.  Thanks for an unforgettable night!  There's nothing like watching 200 students doing the cha-cha slide.  Amazing!  Students were able to request songs and everything was incredibly organized.  It was great going to school on Monday and not hearing anyone complain about the music.  The fog and bubble machines were a hit!  The students loved them!   Showtime Entertainment was worth every penny!  The music helped to make Prom 2006 an unforgettable experience.  I LOVE the fact that you play radio (clean) versions of songs!  Showtime Entertainment provides excellent service!  -- Michele Barker - Grinnell High School 2006 Prom [4/29/06]

Easy to work with to make arrangements.  Professional operation, including equipment and personnel.  Accommodating and flexible.  Always willing to share microphone for event announcements.  Provided background music and karaoke perfectly.  Encouraged singers to begin.  Accommodated all requests and kept a large crowd (750+) entertained all night.  Professional, high quality equipment.  Price was affordable for our event.  -- Marie Harms - Valley High School 2005 After Prom [5/14/05]

From the beginning to the end, Showtime Entertainment was a pleasure to work with.  Rick was very friendly, professional and accommodating when making arrangements, and a lot of fun during the event.  The dance ran very smoothly and everyone had a good time.  That's a big deal, because it's difficult to please 50 teenagers with diverse interests in music.  A great variety of music was provided for our dance.  It was fun for all ages and the students really enjoyed the games and specialty dances.  The sound and lighting quality was exceptional.  Considering the quality of services provided to our group, the price was very reasonable.  It was worth every penny.  I think the comments above sum it up.  Showtime Entertainment is easy to work with and affordable.  The selection of music is great and they make an effort to get everyone involved.  Keep up the good work, Rick!  Excellent overall service!  --  Cindy Roby - Simpson College Upward Bound [7/15/04]

Thank you!!  I know the kids had good time with karaoke.  It was fun listening to them!!!  -- Karlen Howard - Waukee High School 2003 Post Prom [4/12/03]

The students truly enjoyed this event.  They are still talking about it.  Great songlists!  Something for everyone.  I thought the equipment was very adequate, well, better than that!  High quality!  Would have Showtime Entertainment back again.  --  Gilbert High School [12/20/02]

It's nice that you offer things like line dances and other ice-breakers.  The feedback we (student council) got about you from the students was tremendous.  Thank you!  Everyone enjoyed the variety and had a great time.  Many students commented on the night and thought the music was wonderful.  We liked the mood you created with your equipment and music selection.  Things flowed nicely and the night ended too quickly!  Wonderful!  We will have you again soon!  --  Tom Blaine - Indianola High School Back To School Dance [9/4/92]

Kids in the Student Council have positive things to say about you and would like to have you back.  The lighting was great.  --  Ronnie Evans - North High School in Des Moines [9/29/90]

Felt you kept it flowing smoothly.  We appreciated the selections you made for us.  Really tried to get the kids involved which at times can be difficult to do.  Very happy with the service.  --  Ladonna Van Zee - Pella Christian High School Banquet [4/23/93]

MIDDLE SCHOOL EVENTS

I feel that it went very well, the kids really seemed to enjoy it.  You provided everything you said you would and we were completely satisfied with your services.  Thanks again!  -- Bart Jones - Van Meter Schools [12/15/07]

Your service was great.  Great for this crowd.  Outstanding.  Top rate.  The kids thought the fog was the coolest.  The school normally pays a standard rate but I paid the extra myself to make up the difference to get you.  I felt it was worth it.  I think what you do is wonderful.  Not only are you easy to talk to during the booking but you are also completely flexible in terms of getting things accomplished.  Your music for this age group was well selected and you kept all the kids involved and that is the MOST important thing at this type of event.  Thanks so much.  Your service was good quality.  --  Rochelle Becker - Waukee Middle School (Athletic Club) [10/25/03]

Enjoyable, wide-variety, organized, volume controlled, requests were taken, specialty dances, ice-breakers, games, age-appropriate for the middle school level.  State-of-the-art, high-quality sound, high-tech computerization of music, lighting, worked perfectly in our space at the middle school.  Keeping a good mix of music -- fast, slow, rap, interactive, rock, etc.  The students really danced all night and had a great time.  I have been pleased with the quality of service and the overall mix of the music.  The DJ keeps the music and dancing going all during the 2 hours.  The students enjoy all the different activities to dance and have fun with their peers.  --  Jan Petheram - Weeks Middle School [5/9/03]
