AmaChron Information

AmaChron the Entertainers has been in the mobile dance business since April 3, 1970.

As the longest established and most successful entertainment on wheels AmaChron has done hundreds of proms, homecomings, parties, wedding receptions, club events, and general dances. Sponsoring groups and organizations number more than 1,000. Many sponsors have booked AmaChron for 10,  20, or more years. 

AmaChron units have 360 degree sound and lighting. That is, speakers and lights are located all the way around the dance area. Overhead lighting includes mirror ball, chasers, strobes, and multicolored lighting. Special effects including bubbles are used at all events with the lighting to complete the transformation of any room into a genuine dance atmosphere. Every song has a different light show.

The sound systems include up to eight speakers around the room. AmaChron speakers are specially designed for dance events and are not as overpowering as the long-throw, excessively loud concert equipment used by most other operators.

AmaChron the Entertainers has all types of music (20,000 songs available) and it is played by request. It is possible to entertain people of all ages at the same event. The sound system is operated by an audio engineer so there is no DJ yakety-yak or embarrassing antics.

AmaChron can do a dance practically anywhere electricity is available, including outdoor events. There is no hourly rate. The sponsor may run the dance at any time on the day of contract. Background music is available for proms, weddings, or other dinner type events.

AmaChron the Entertainers has done more that 6,500 dances entertaining more than 1,600,000 people.

HISTORY:

The first dance entertainment by AmaChron was done April 3, 1970, at the Jubilee Roller Rink in Amarillo. However, music for this type of activity had been provided as early as March 1965, when the AmaChron Chronocontrol sound system was hauled to Palo Duro High School for a journalism class event during "49ers Day".

In the early 1970's, most bookings were for birthdays, back yard parties, and private events. By 1975, local schools had discovered this new "disco" form of entertainment which provided a higher quality of music reproduction and presentation than a live band . The first prom done by AmaChron was for Pampa High School in 1976. The disco era boom of the late '70's, brought a great increase in business and AmaChron became the established leader in the field.

AmaChron the Entertainers operated as the Z-93 Entertainers from 1976 through 1992.

AmaChron units were traveling up to 300 miles for events by 1980. Sponsors called from the five state area around Amarillo to book their events as much as a year in advance. Additional units were added to the fleet to meet the demand and by 1985, there were more than 350 dances a year.

The One-millionth person to enter an AmaChron dance passed through the doors at the M.S. Doss Youth Center in Seminole, TX on January 10, 1992.
