Education

 

Saturday May 20th, 2006, I received my Bachelor's of Arts & Sciences degree! If you know of a good place where I can start a great job, please let me know! hotdjdwray@hotmail.com

Tuesday, August 20th 2005, I received my A.A.S. Degree in "Information Technology"! I am now one of the very few DJ's around using PC DJ programs who actually has a degree in Computers!!

Saturday, May 15th 2004, I received my A.A.S. Degree in Criminal Justice! This degree is an emphasis on Loss Prevention and Asset Control, which correlated well to my studies in computer networking and network security. It also reinforces my experience as an Air Force Security Specialist back in the 80's.

 

Sunday June 26th through Wednesday June 29th, 2005 I attended the Mobile Beat DJ Convention, this one was in Niagara Falls. Thanks to all of those who have supported me in my endeavors and dreams!

Monday August 30th 2004 thru Thursday September 2nd 2004 I attended the DJ Times DJ Convention in Atlantic City! As good as I am, I learned even more about crowd interaction, production, music, equipment, and lights. I hope and expect to incorporate some of these ideas into my shows and company ever strengthening my status as the best Disc Jockey Service in the region!


The American Heart Association

HOT DJ Derrick Wray played for the local Chapter of  The AMERICAN  HEART  ASSOCIATION's  "Heart Walk" at Y.S.U. again this year! It was on Saturday, Sept. 17th, 2005 . We started around 9 AM with announcements and getting all of the walkers organized. The walk actually started at 10 AM and went to about noon . If you are interested in participating next year or donating, please log on to their website at www.heartwalk.kintera.org/youngstownOH -or- call them at (330) 965-9230.

UPDATE

Saturday September 18th, 2004:

This year went off without a hitch! The electricians at YSU went over the wiring and the weather cooperated despite what the news media said! Thanks to everyone who came out and made the day a success! To get involved or make donations, the address is: 840 Southwestern Run Youngstown Oh 44514 E-mail: Lynn.Whetson@heart.org

Saturday September 13th, 2003:

Yes, HOT DJ Derrick Wray provided the P.A. and music for the Heartwalk, after a slight delay (the power lines to the field had a short!) But the grounds crew at Y.S.U. did a great job in hustling up a generator and away we went. And so did the walkers as the American Heart Association surpassed their goal for the day! Congratulations!


The Animal Welfare League

HOT DJ Derrick Wray again provided the sound and lights for the 2006 fashion show at the Avalon Inn. The show had to be put together rather quickly this year, but the show went very well due to the professional's who were involved. This was in spite of the limited time and all of the things that can go wrong with a show of this magnitude. Here's the link to the Animal Welfare League in Trumbull County.

Sunday November 7th, 2004 Their annual fashion show in conjunction with the Eastwood Mall at the Avalon Inn. This years theme was "Winter Fantasy".

HOT DJ Derrick Wray provided the P.A. and M.C.'d for the Animal Welfare Leagues' Chinese Auction, Sunday May 18th, 2003 at the Packard Shelter House.


Angels For Animals

HOT DJ Derrick Wray played for the "Angels For Animals" Fun-Run & Walk Fundraiser @ The Canfield Fairgrounds on Sunday, April 24th, 2005! Unfortunately it snowed all night, which hindered the participation somewhat. Fortunately, everyone who came out had a good time playing games for prizes and getting exercise with their dogs. References If you would like to donate to or participate in Angels for Animals, here is the number and address:    (330) 549-1111 - 4750 St. Rt. 165 Canfield, Ohio 44406

UPDATE

on 2003's performance

Once again we had a great time with the singers all afternoon and played a lot of requests that evening. We did use our full sound system including the new Horn Sound System, which was louder and cleaner than even our expectations! I do believe that we now have the biggest and best sound of any DJ Service in the region, if not the country! So now we are #1!

on 2002's performance

We had a great time with the singers all afternoon and played a ton of requests that evening. This is the largest crowd that we have ever played for, with  nearly 50,000 people showing up during the fireworks display! Of course we used our full sound system which is now rated as one of the two top DJ sound systems in the region! We are looking forward to going back again next year with even more sound reinforcement to ensure that we are #1!
