Let
Rene Rancourt,
the legendary voice of the
Boston Bruins sing our National Anthem at your celebration
!
( When we have used Rene in the past it has been "out
of control" with guests swarming him for autographs
and photos, especially since the B's won the cup in
2011 )
Here is how it works:
During your grand entrance, after first dance, the
DJ will ask everyone to please take their seats as
we prepare to toast our bride and groom. As soon as
your guests are seated, Just before the toasts we
will intro Rene by saying “And
now A special musical surprise - a present from the
bride and groom to their friends and family attending
today….
He… is the legendary singer of the national
anthem for the Boston Bruins . Here he is direct from
TD Garden. Please rise put your hand over your heart,
as our National Anthem is sung by the one and only
RENE RANCOURT !"
DJ plays the national anthem, Rene sings it and then…
At the end of Rene’s song, he will blow kisses,
fist pump and salute … and he will make his
exit, into the next room, or into a wing of the stage,
so that we can transition into the toasts. Our dj
will do his outro “how bout it for the one and
only RENE RANCOURT…please take your seats…it
is time to toast our bride and groom.
Rene will be waiting, ready for the next segment.
Our DJ will then transition into the first song of
dinner music. And during that song Rene will come
and get the wireless mic and position himself down
on the dance floor. The very next song will be the
first song on Rene’s program . ( He may be overwhelmed
with photos and autographs so there might not be any
more singing. If he can sing, he will tell the DJ
which song or songs to play )
Our Dj will stay at the controls and be ready to play
any number track off the cd that Rene tells him. Rene
will simply wait till the end of one song…then
he will, over the mic, ask the dj to please play whatever
track he wants next ?
Rene will spend most of his time up near the DJ area,
but will also “work the room”
DJ will have to keep an eye on Rene. When the end
of one song comes, if Rene is not ready for the next
song because he has been asked to pose for photo’s
etc… our dj will realize this and will start
to play a canned song from our dj music collection.,….them
when Rene is ready he will motion or speak to the
DJ and say what song he is now ready to sing from
the program cd…
Sometimes the photographer will drag the bride and
the groom and Rene and maybe others out the center
of the dance floor and it turns out to take several
minutes, our DJ will simply keep the “in between”
music playing until Rene indicates that he is ready
for the next song…
Rene will sing approximate 5 or 6 songs depending
on the feel, in addition to the national anthem, and
then photo‘s … and then he will quietly
disappear ? At the option of the bride and groom,
Rene is willing to stay if he is issued a table seating
assignment with the guests of bride’s and groom’s
choosing
