Play Ball! Rock The House vs. Jerry Bruno

Cleveland Event Entertainers Go For Softball Glory

May 22nd will feature the first of what we hope to be an annual softball match-up: Rock The House Entertainment vs. Jerry Bruno Productions. Both event entertainment companies share a friendly relationship that will make this game all the more fun. President of Jerry Bruno Productions, Scott Jones, has been asking his industry friends in the “Taco Tuesdays Group” to attend the game as spectators. Likewise, members of the Rock The House team have contacted our fellow ISES (International Special Events Society) members to come and root for their favorite team.

Anyone is welcome to attend. Admission is simply one (or more if you’d like) canned food item. We will be donating all items to the Cleveland Foodbank. The game will begin at 6:00 PM at Winik Field located in Valley View Woods (13005 Schreiber Rd. Valley View, Ohio 44125). Anyone is welcome to bring food and drinks to this pot-luck game.

Panelists:

Team Member of The Month – Ernie Scales

Ernie ROCKS!

Rock The House Entertainment is rolling out a formal Team Member of The Month program coming out of our 2012 All Staff Meeting this April. That meant that management was faced with setting a precedent and prototype for this honor. What a relief it was for us to have just the person…Ernie Scales.

Head of Human Resources at Rock The House, Ryan Konikoff said:

“Selecting Ernie was an easy choice. So far, he holds the lead for the most requests in 2012 by clients. Every MC always asks to have him on their events, and he lives the idea of leading by example. Ernie takes dance classes in his free time to learn all different types of dance that may help him as a RTH dancer, he always has a smile on his face, and you can tell he just really love the job”

In the year and a half that Ernie has been with us, he has shown a eagerness to learn, consistency, drive, and character . This isn’t even mentioning his amazing skills! Don’t just take our word for it! He made it farther than hundreds of other competitive dancers at the 2012 “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 9 try outs in Los Angeles. You can read more about that fascinating experience here.

Ernie says it best:

“What makes me a unique dancer is my passion. I use dancing to describe who I am and how I feel. I basically use dance to let people see my true personality. I live for dance and I dance to live. What makes a dancer unique is not about their moves it’s about heart.”

When we told Ernie he was selected to be the Team Member of the month he was grateful. He then told us he didn’t feel like he was a member of a team, however. To him, he’s a member of a family. We could’t agree more!

Award Winning Corporate Event Entertainment

ISES Wow Awards – Ohio’s Event Industry Best

Rock The House is really excited to come back from Columbus to our office in Cleveland with our ISES Wow Award for Best Meeting or Conference over 100K. Rock The House was nominated for State Chemical‘s 100th Anniversary Conference and Events from November 2011.
Watch this video to see highlights from our ISES WOW win in Columbus, Ohio:

The State Chemical Anniversary weekend had a lot of components and involved every division of the company. In addition to the Videography division’s many important contributions, the lighting division was all over this event! Creating effects in a variety of rooms in two different divisions, this event had a large-scale production feel without overwhelming the guests. Uplights, gobo company logos, stage lighting, andpinspotting were all being controlled by our lighting designer who was orchestrating the atmosphere. The DJ / MC Entertainment and Photo Booth Divisions also played big roles in this grand affair. One highlight of the event was this Glee themed opening session video:

Your next event should have award winning entertainment and production! www.RTHgroup.com

When Asked to Participate – We Said: I Do!

Marriage Equality Rally & Mass Wedding

March 24th, 2012 was an important day for marriage equality supporters in Ohio. The state’s largest mass “illegal” wedding took place at The Galleria at Erieview. Prior to the over 200 couples who were married, there was a massive rally on the stairs of the Cleveland City Hall. Politicians, activists, and allies were on-hand to sign petitions, register to vote, share stories, and support each other.

A variety of news sources covered the event including The Advocate, The Plain Dealer, ABC Cleveland, and WTAM.

Rock The House selected to provide the support of sound production as well as playlists of music before and after the ceremonies at The Galleria. The organizers of the event wanted to involve the very best Ohio Wedding Professionals and we were on their list.

Lake Erie Monsters Pink The Rink 2012

Cleveland DJs at Pink The Rink

Rock The House enjoys a great partnership with The Lake Erie Monsters and the annual Pink The Rink event is yearly highlight of that relationship. Each year, The Lake Erie Monsters Hockey team raises awareness as well as money for cancer research. Quicken Loans Arena was awash in pink-clad hockey fans ready for a great time and we are proud to have helped.

Rock The House dancers had a great time with many of the kids attending the game. Our Rock The House stage on The Q concourse had dozens of kids of all ages dancing, singing, and having a great time between periods of the game. Our DJs, MCs, and dancers were able to both have fun and show off their skills. For instance, check out this video of Ernie:

Another reason everyone at Rock The House looks forward to Pink The Rink is that the entire team is welcome to attend the event with their families. We had over 100 tickets and that’s one big group!  One of our sections was even on the score board. Here’s a picture of Matt and Ryan that 1000′s saw live at the game.

Rock The House also was retweeted on the score board from this tweet:

@igotrocked: @tweetqtube The best hockey fight is when The Monsters fight cancer! #PinkTheRink

This event is for such a great cause and we are really excited to have been asked to help. If your next event is looking for that something special to bring it to the next level, give us a call.

We’re in the business of wowing guests and putting smiles on faces. Let us show you how – www.rthgroup.com

Rock The House Auditions 2012

Do They Have What It Takes?

With another year of growth we face another year of expanding our staff. This year, we took a cue from some of the more popular reality shows for our auditions!

Hosted at Cleveland’s House of Blues, hopeful MCs, DJs, and Dancers went through the first stage of our tryouts with full-time managers, dance captains, and support teams watching, testing, and asking many questions.

We were VERY pleased with the turnout and excited to see that there are many in Cleveland very interested in working for Rock The House clients on events in the future. This was only the first stage, however. Those that made the fist cut were asked to come to the Rock The House headquarters to learn more about the company and meet more of our team. This session was more hands on and targeted qualities like teamwork,  passion, and customer service skills.

We have some great new talent this year who will be working hand in hand with our senior MCs, DJs, and Dancers. Let us know what type of event entertainment you need for your upcoming Wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Corporate Event or Fundraiser – www.rthgroup.com
