Rock On Jordan!

The classic Varisity Theater in Dinkytown was the place to be for Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah celebration.   And wow, what a venue.  This was my first time photographing there and it really made for some great atmosphere from the minute you walked in.  Jordan and family arrived via a big party bus out front by the marquee and the party was on. Klezmerica was the first band on stage for the evening featuring some great Klezmer music that warmed up the crowd during cocktail hour.  They capped off their performance with a rousing Horah that filled the entire dance floor with friends and family.  Jordan’s father and uncles really put on a great show in the center of all the action.  Once everyone cooled off, a former music teacher of Jordan’s came up on stage to perform a special song written in Jordan’s honor.  A wonderful dinner was served and after everyone had a chance to relax for a bit it was time to Rock On!  The Road Crew, a band made up of students and friends of Jordan’s from the School of Rock fired up the amps and put on a fantastic rock and roll show with some classic tunes.   For the big finale, Jordan joined his friends up on stage playing guitar and house went wild. It was an extremely fun evening and I think we got some fantastic photography for Jordan and his family to remember it by.  Check out the video for fun look back and the hit the link to see all great photos from Jordan’s Bar Mitzvah weekend.  Mazel Tov to Jordan!
