The
1998 GHAMMA DJ EXPO was held
on Sunday July 19, 1998
12 NOON to 7:00PM
Location: Humble Civic
Center,
8233 Will Clayton Pkwy. Humble, Texas 77338
This
fourth annual event was a major opportunity for mobile music related
vendors to receive exposure to hundreds of prospective customers.
The beautiful and spacious Humble Civic Center provided the ideal
setting for product demonstration. There was four free industry related
seminars held throughout the day, a music and equipment swap meet,
and several door prize drawings. This year's Expo had two separate
vendor areas: One for vendors wishing to provide sound demonstration,
and a quiet area for vendors who do not wish to compete with the noise.

GHAMMA DJ EXPO
GHAMMA has found that the best way to promote our
organization is with our annual DJ Expo. This year's big event
was held July 20 at the Humble Civic Center. Over 600 DJs were
on hand for a full day of exhibits and interesting, informative
seminars. Among the topics discussed were: "The Ethics of the
Mobile DJ Business", "The Latin Music Scene" and "DJ Marketing
on the Internet". Wrapping up the Expo was a drawing for door
prizes which included a Pioneer CDJ-500II CDP (from Century
Sales and The Core Store), followed by a DJ Swap Meet. For information
on next year's DJ Expo, call the GHAMMA infoline at 713-861-6460.

 Houston DJs Strive for Higher
Standards
The Greater Houston Area Mobile Music Association (GHAMMA)
was established January of 1993 as an off-shoot of an informal gathering
of DJs that have been meeting since 1992. GHAMMA currently has 19 members
represented by a five-member elected executive board. The association
endeavors to assist members in obtaining the highest standards of professionalism
in their performances and marketing practices. Although new members must
submit references for check and review by a panel of current members,
even the founding members are subject to censure and expulsion if they
become lax in their business practices. Current GHAMMA president Larry
Fox (Fox Mobile Music) says, "We're certainly not trying to be elitists,
but rather to upgrade the level of DJs performing in the Houston area.
Our goal is to set our standards as high as possible, and then see that
our members maintain those standards. Our customers will soon learn that
when they hire an association member, they are getting someone who's qualified,
experienced and has quality, professional gear and a legal music library."
If you are interested in joining GHAMMA or want more information on the
group, contact Fox at 281-438-2430, or Vice President Cecil Knight (Knight
Sounds) 281-568-2057.
