Semper Gumbi - Always Flexible at the VILLA ROSA

I have to first give credit to Rich Allen, USAF Retired, my former boss from the early 90's after our stint in Desert Storm, and one of the first leaders that I ever looked up to who coined the phrase Semper Gumbi.  Semper Gumbi is Rich Allen's catch phrase.  He took the US Marine Corps motto Semper Fi (Always Faithful) and made our own RADIC Ranger motto.  RADIC stood for Rapidly Deploy-able Integrated Command and Control.  The new motto was Semper Gumbi, as you may know Gumbi is a very rubbery 80's cartoon character.  Thus Semper Gumbi or Always Flexible was born and we utilized this motto in our RADIC Ranger lives. We could deploy anywhere in the world on a moments notice.

DJ PorkChop has now applied this Semper Gumbi Mentality to our business model.

Saturday Night we had a great wedding.  It all began outside on the lawn at VILLA ROSA aka 53 Buddy Street in Santa Rosa Beach.  Great place for a wedding and we know because we have been there quite a few times now.  The only thing is, the place is so big it is hard to keep everyone in one place to knock out the formalities.

On one side of the VILLA ROSA complex is the yard, then the gazebo leads you into the pool, then the driveway, then the main house.  Way big!  Big enough for a very large family to spend an entire week in and not get to each other.  Plus it is only a short walk to the beach, perfect for ceremonies and receptions to follow.

Now with experience, we always start on the pool deck and end up in the living room.  Without fail, every time we have been there we have learned a lot about flexibility. This home has taught us as disc jockeys, performers, planners, and masters of ceremony that the amplification systems must be flexible and portable.  We have to be able to set up in different areas and be able to move at a moments notice.

This weekend the temperature dropped suddenly and we set up our back up battery PA system while we retrieved our amplified back up speaker and computer set up for the indoor party.  All the while my wife DJ Ting aka "THE BOSS"  tore down the primary system and loaded it up.  What we learned a while back was as a Professional Disc Jockey we needed 3 systems. One Primary for the large areas, one back up to flex with, and a battery powered shoulder carried PA to be mobile and to be able to perform ceremonies with.

This demonstrates why you should always have a Disc Jockey with the knowledge and flexibility as well as the equipment to keep your event flowing.  We deployed our equipment on 3 occasions in one night in 2 key areas and kept the event going for a little more than 8 hours.  Now that is Semper Gumbi - DJ PorkChop style!
