I had the opportunity to DJ for the Del Monte Spring Break Beach Bash Dash in Daytona Beach right on the beach in front of the Plaza Resort and Spa in March 2013. It was a six day event on March 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13.
Del Monte was looking to expand their brand to college age spring breakers with an obstacle course. They had several obstacles including a plank walk, puzzle dig, fruit toss and a pit fall.
The beach was pretty cold with one morning being 38 degrees, but spring breakers were still out giving the obstacle course a try. Not a bad way to stay warm if you ask me.
The music was mostly top 40 and high energy house music. I played a lot of remixes to keep things interesting. I think it made a lot of them move a little faster. A lot of people were dancing at the start and finish line waiting to get in on the obstacle course.
With all the hype around the Harlem Shake song, we created a Del Monte Harlem Shake video (password: delmonte) with the photographer / videographer. Take a look at the video in the link above. It started out as a bunch of the Del Monte staff just hanging out then the next frame was banana madness. I’m in the second frame holding the speaker.
