They’re a little bit overdue (it took place at the start of the Summer

The Dance Screen [1.7 MB QuickTime]
At once dance area, they set up a large translucent screen and aimed a

and towards the DJ booth.

Hmm... the link on "why it was composed" was blocked by the firewall here at work (judging by the domain name, I guess they've got a keyword filter or something in effect).
