The Candy Man made the World look Good

The Candy Man made the World look good, especially for the residents and families at the Masonic Home in Union City. Who could pass up a chocolate kiss, especially when an adorable marionette with mini-tray circled the Masonic Home to Sammy Davis Jr's iconic hit "The Candy Man."

Dog Day Afternoon at Danville shopping center

The dogs had their day in the sun at a Danville shopping center. To gain admission to what was billed as "Yappy Hour," dog lovers brought their cherished pet(s) for doggie games on an astroturf lawn and doggie bowls filled with dog biscuits. A DJ played "You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog" and a caricaturist drew the lovely pet(s) with their proud dog owners. Celebrity Gems arranges caricaturists in Danville, Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and San Mateo.

Rock and Roll Thursday at middle school-Celebrity Gems arranged Rock and Roll band in Castro Valley

Students at a Castro Valley Middle School had their own End of the Year Celebration after an academic year of grammar rules, math equations, and science labs. What a wonderful way for them to be energized for their summer of relaxation and fun with a nine piece rock and roll band with dancers. Students rushed to the dance floor and grooved to the electric slide, hip hop, and uptown funk.

Students followed the singer and dancer

Uptown Funk and Bruno Mars

Guitarist adds Ambience at Model Home opening

A guitarist added that classy touch at a San Ramon, CA,  model home grand opening. Arranging music, in addition to staging homes, is a proven method to showcase an open house. Other musical ideas include Caribbean music with steel pans; Jazz trios, and Latin trios.
We welcome feedback. According to the event planner, "Thank you, Stan, Dix was great."

There was a Carnival at a College

Hey college students, join the circus

Three club juggling by carnival booth

It was down the midway with carnival games for "Back to School" at De Anza College (Cupertino).  

Sponsored by Student Activities, students signed up for their favorite hobbies and interests adding a balance to college academics. A juggler on a unicycle with a bright yellow parasol attracted the students to different booths. Students made their own carnival attractions-knock down the milk bottle and balloon toss. Celebrity Gems arranges jugglers and magicians in the San Francisco Bay Area.
