Brandon Ferguson started his disk jockey business, Thunder Rose Entertainment, a year ago in February 1999. After attending the Entrepreneurs of the Future Camp last June, where Brandon wrote a business plan, his business really took off. He entertained at three dances in February and is being asked for return performances at many places. Thunder Rose Entertainment plays music of all kinds for dances within 100 miles of Chadron.
Pyrotechnics is indoor fireworks that make a dance quite a celebration.
Brandon started his business when his parents bought his first set of equipment as a birthday present. Since then the business has allowed Brandon to upgrade his equipment. Now if the crowd doesn't like a song, he can fade the music into a new song. The hard parts of owning a business, for Brandon, are the travel, late nights and going to school the next day. Most dances he DJs now are booked on weekends.
