For the fifth consecutive year, I have had the priviledge to lead the photography team for the Rusty Ball. This year, the venue was again in the lower ballroom at the Duke Energy Center. The demand for tickets has been so overwhelming the past two years, and this year was no different. The last count I heard on the day of the event was 3900.
This year, the Rusty Ball had a new performance added before the concert. The Millennium Robots took the stage and totally rocked the house. I have never seen a performance like that before and I can’t wait to see them perform again. The sound track they danced to took full advantage of the 5-ft subwoofer units in front of the stage – the name of the track was Cracks by Freestylers (Flux Pavilion Remix featuring Belle Humble). Great track that now resides on my iTunes.
The silent auction and basket tables were full again this year due to the generosity of our beneficiaries and sponsors. It’s a real pleasure to meet so many wonderful people at this event. If you haven’t had a chance to attend the first five Rusty Balls, let me encourage you to get your tickets for next year. It is a fun and exciting event whose proceeds benefit the charities in your local neighborhoods. A great band, a great cause, a great match.
Thank you, again, Rusty Griswolds.
