As I mentioned last week, we've been in major planning for the Heart Gala at the Nashville Schermerhorn Symphony Center last Saturday. Months and months of planning went in to make this a special night and to raise money for the American Heart Association. It was a terrific success!
Here are some pictures to chronicle the day...
Preparations began early Saturday morning as we began to build the set and prepare the room

After dinner there was a late night party where the band played and everyone danced the night away!
My lovely go-go dancers! (Mary Roberts and Alina Williams) They are such sweethearts and did an awesome job Saturday night. If you remember last year when I did the Chinese Dragon show in Atlanta, Alina was one of my dancers there. She is a Radio City Rockette but is based out of Nashville. She's worked ships for us in the past. Mary was a new find and a great dancer. She's off to do a contract for Holland America but hopefully we'll be seeing her again!
Go Alina!
Everyone had such a blast dancing! Our buddies, Mark and Holly Whaley were the life of the party. Holly and I work together a lot on different events. We really love them!
We had such a great time!

This clip....priceless. Gary...I'm thinkin' definite blackmail.
All in all it was a fantastic night! Definitely one of the coolest events I've gotten to work on. The band was incredible and everyone seemed to have a great time. Thank you, Alyson, Holly, and the rest of the gang at the AHA. Looking forward to working with you all again!
