Well that brings me back...
I was hired for a NYE dance at the Swingin Tern dance in Chatham NJ.
They were paying me well, so I felt obligated to do something a little,
um.., special. Before the big countdown, I stepped into the stage wing
and ended the dance in progress. I donned an Old Man outfit and mask,
and announced myself onto the stage. I made a few parting remarks, and
then came the big countdown. At 5 seconds to midnight, I whipped off
the old man outfit and mask, and at midnight I had transformed myself
into Baby New Year, complete with big diaper and sash proclaiming the
New Year. (This took practice.) We then launched into a waltz and
then broke for a dessert buffet.
Don't worry too much about the ritual. Work with the producers and just
have a fun, safe, time.
