Baltimore Karaoke posts

Baltimore Karaoke had the pleasure to provide dance music, karaoke, music videos, and sound reinforcement during the week of March 3rd through March 8th 2019 for a national conference held by the American Criminal Justice Association.( A.C.J.A.) The ACJA, which is based in Sacramento California holds these national conferences every year but in different states. This year the ACJA elected to have their national conference in Baltimore, Maryland at the Delta Hotel by Marriott in Hunt Valley Maryland.

The Convention Services Manager at Delta, Zeborah Cameron, did an outstanding job of overseeing the organizing and implementation of hotel services for the conference event.

The ACJA event is comprised of college students, faculty and administration support personnel which numbered almost 400 folks this year. The students are studying various disciplines, Criminal Justice and Crime Scene Investigation among other studies. During the day students and instructors participated in various workshops around the hotel and some folks were involved in a live ammunition handgun competition shoot at Continental Arms in Timonium, Maryland.

Evening events included very tasty and eye-appealing dinners and deserts followed by Baltimore Karaoke providing dance music, karaoke singing and music videos. Speaker presentations included the awarding of Trophies, a Baltimore County Police Department Honor Guard Service and a speech by Baltimore County Chief of Police Terrence B. Sheridan.

Wednesday evening was talent night as various students, faculty and staff performed poetry, gymnastics, dance routines and one group actually dressed up and performed as the rock band Kiss! Baltimore Karaoke provided the back up music and microphones for the skits. Friday night was the last night of the national conference with lots of DJ dance music. A great time was had by all!

I had the pleasure of hosting a Corporate Event recently that included games, karaoke and party music. The object of the games for the employees was to build team loyalty and cooperation with a touch of competition. My job was to provide music for the players while they performed the contests. The owners of the company were very pleased that I took the time and effort to find and play songs that were related to the event, such as Magic Carpet Ride and Red Solo Cup. I also encouraged the owners of the company to use one of my wireless microphones to explain and run the games. The owners hosting the games created a bonding between them (Owners) and the employees that would not have been possible if I had been running the games.

In addition to the physical games we also had a karaoke game called “finish the lyrics” the object of this game was for me to play 30 to 45 seconds of a song then cut it off. The contestants had one minute to write down the lyrics that they could remember and then they had to sing the song karaoke style on my TV monitor to see how much of the lyrics they got right! It was loads of corporate fun and entertainment!

So if you are planning a Corporate party feel free to contact Baltimore Karaoke at: 410-828-9168 or Text To: 443.790.7100 for further information and date availability. Please review the videos below and click on the link to my Youtube channel for more videos of other events.

HI, my name is Joe DeSantis owner and operator of Baltimore Karaoke and DeSantis Entertainment.

Your special day only comes around once, so it’s very important that you chose the right entertainer. I understand that you have multiple choices to pick from and maybe a tight budget that you are working with, but you are not sure what questions to ask. You might be tempted to go with the lowest priced vendor but keep in mind that DJ’s are not all alike in background, experience, temperament and skill level so you need to be prepared to ask important questions. The following are a suggested list of questions: (1) Do you carry liability insurance for example if a DJ speaker fell on a guest?(Many venues these days require the entertainment to carry liability insurance) (2) Does the entertainment bring professional DJ equipment to your event such as Denon, Pioneer, EV, Qsc, does the DJ bring backup equipment in case of component failure? (3) Where does the DJ entertainment get their music? From a high fidelity playback subscription service like Promoonly, RPM, VJ-Pro? You would be shocked if you knew how many so-called DJs show up at important events with no insurance, home type equipment, no backup equipment and rip all of their music from Youtube. (4) How much experience do you have for the event I am seeking coverage for? Do you take requests and play to my crowd or do you just play (dj) what you want to hear? Does the DJ entertainment have a properly prepared contract and event planning forms or are you asked to just fill out information on a blank sheet of paper? Does the DJ act as a Master of Ceremonies for introductions, announcements and does the DJ work with other vendors and help keep the event running smoothly?

I could go on, but I think you get the idea! Baltimore Karaoke and DeSantis Entertainment always carry two million in liability insurance, uses only professional DJ equipment, brings backup equipment and gets it music from professional music subscription services. In addition, I have over thirty years experience in a very wide variety of events. Baltimore Karaoke and DeSantis Entertainment acts as Master of Ceremonies, works in conjunction with other day of vendors and guides your event smoothly and professionally from beginning to end!

After expending time exploring Baltimore Karaoke by visiting local bars during a local Karaoke night and by singing with buddies and a Karaoke player, it seemed like the English translation for Baltimore Karaoke might be “don’t quit your day job.” However, a little more research turned up the true meaning: “empty orchestra.”

The first karaoke system was invented in the 1970’s in Kobe, Japan, by Daisuk Inoue, a musician. He leased his karaoke player for 100 yen, and Karaoke soon became the fun thing to do. Unfortunately, he did not get a patent for his invention, and someone else went on to patent it under a different name, “Minus-One”. As you see, his Minus-One system didn’t catch on near as well as the catchy “Karaoke”, so Daisuk still got his claim to fame. Word of Daisuk’s new machine spread, and from Japan it has now become wildly popular all across Asia, Europe, and the USA

Perhaps karaoke players are most popular of all in Finland. Finland holds several world Karaoke records. They have more karaoke bars per capita than any other place in the world. They hold the world record for the largest amount of people singing the same karaoke song at one time: 80,000 people! What song were they singing? Hard Rock Hallelujah! Finland also holds the world record for the longest round of non-stop Karaoke singing: 240 hours!

Establishments who use KJ Hosts (Karaoke Jocks) or are planning to hire one should always ask the KJ the following questions: Brought to you by Baltimore Karaoke.

1) How much do you sing?:  Although it can add some fun to the mix, you don’t want a KJ that will be hogging the show by singing every chance they get.  This is a turn-off to customers who are waiting their turn. If you have a KJ with an outstanding voice who is singing all of the time this can also be intimidating for the average singer.

2) Will you promote my establishment?  Will your KJ Host talk up your establishment’s food and drink specials and any other entertainment you might offer? Does your KJ Host have a business FaceBook page or MD Party page or a web site to promote your place?

3) Do you have professional music equipment as well as back up equipment?  Does your KJ have the right size equipment for the square footage of your place? Does the KJ have a back up amplifier or mixer if the main system malfunctions? No quicker way to end your Karaoke night then when the equipment stops working!

4) Where do you get your Karaoke music?  Many KJ’s now use computers to play the music. Some copy hard drives from other sources that are illegal under the copyright protection act and can put the KJ Host and the owner of the establishment into legal hot water if discovered by one of the regulatory agencies such as the RIAA.

5)Does you KJ act as a professional so as not to bring discredit to your place?  Does your KJ Host drink to excess and become rude to your guests? This is another quick killer for your Karaoke night.

6)Does your KJ Host keep up on new music? Of course it’s not practical to try to buy every new song that comes out every month but the KJ Host should have a good representation of new music and should always try to have any new songs patrons have asked for by the following week.

7)Does your KJ Host abide by the Rotation method?  If you KJ Host bumps people ahead of other singers for money or friendship you can kiss your night goodbye!

8)Is there “dead air” between singers? Your establishment probably has an in house music system that is always on except when you have outside entertainment performing. Imagine when your in house system stops working for some reason…the whole place gets sooo quiet and the party feeling then fades. Same thing if there is no ‘bumper” music playing between the time one singer finishes and the next singer starts. Does you KJ Host provide bumper music?

I hope this has helped you when it’s time to find or replace a KJ Host. In an upcoming blog I will discuss more about hiring a KJ for your club, brought to you by Baltimore Karaoke singing and musical entertainment.
