Audience Requirements: Crowd participation is a very big part of this presentation. We never want to turn down any organization but if your program will have less than 75 people we ask that you try and invite other organizations to be part of this presentation. We have found that the bigger the audience the better the message is received. Logistics The following audio/visual and staging requests are designed to enhance the audience’s enjoyment of Playya 1000 and the Deeksta’s performance. The best speech can be undermined by equipment or room setup problems, so please discuss any changes in the room and audio/visual setup with us before hand. Microphones: 2 wireless handheld Mics are preferred or 2 regular ground mics. with at least 50 feet of cord. Audio: Playya 1000 uses a variety of music for his keynote presentations.

A multi channel amplifier should power the speakers. The system should be compatible with RCA adapter cables and set-up in the area of the assembly approximately 40 – 50 feet away from the audience. Note: if you are unsure or don’t have this set-up contact your local music retail store give them this paper and they cant get you all set-up, cost to rent this set-up is relatively inexpensive prices range from ($60 - $100) for the entire set-up. Lighting: A Bright, well – lit platform will enhance the energy level for the event. Audience set-up: If the assembly is to be held in the gymnasium please keep all students to one side of the gym, close together, working from the middle up and out. Many schools like the teachers to sit with students (It cuts down on mischievous behavior) Recording: Audio/Video taping is encouraged with Playya 1000’s and the Deekster’s authorization.

Playya 1000 will ask for crowd response the louder the better, so please make sure that any staff in audience is aware of this to avoid confusion. We want the audience to have a good time as they learn, the more enthusiastic the better. Water: A dry mouth is a speaker’s worst enemy. Help fight the war on dry mouth by providing Playya 1000 and the Deeksta with 2 bottles of cold water. Resource Table: Following the assembly Playya 1000 will have resources (CD’s, pictures, books etc.) available that can be of value to your student’s and teachers. Please allow for 5 x 8 table to be used for these resources. Sponsorship: Playya 1000 feels that each kid in attendance should receive a copy of their new CD 20/20 vision. Studies have shown that rap music is has a very strong influence on todays youth. Unfortunately the majority of it sends a negative message to our children. Playya 1000 and the Deeksta’s 20/20 Vision CD sends a powerful, fun and inspirational message that people need to hear. We are trying to give our kids options in hip-hop music so we work real hard to find sponsors for these CD’s so we can give each kid a free CD. If your school or organization or any other sponsor can help with this mission they can sponsor any number of Playya 1000 20/20 CD’s for $4 each to cover CD cost and help cover overall expenses.
