Footnotes:

(1) While some DJ companies have been around for a long time, the DJ
    they send may be an inexperienced beginner!  Make sure that your DJ
    has the experience you need!
    (back)
(2) Stu and His Crew always obtains written permission before inviting
    clients to visit a party.

(3) Radio stations and nightclubs don't buy their equipment at the local
    discount shop or appliance store!  Nor should your DJ.  Only
    commercial grade equipment can deliver the quality sound your
    event needs while handling the rigors of mobile DJ "life on the
    road."
    (back)
(4) All of our music has been encoded at 256 and 320 kbps to deliver the highest
    quality sound.  We also offer optional turntables do "turntable tricks" (scratching,
    etc.)  We have commercial quality cassette and MiniDisc playback capability on
    demand, and can also play back your music from your flash drives or iPods!
