What happened at Vincennes in 1779?

George Rogers Clark led 170 American and French militiamen on a brutal 180-mile winter march from Kaskaskia, wading through chest-deep floodwater, to launch a surprise siege on the British-held Fort Sackville. The fort surrendered in just two days. The victory secured the entire Old Northwest Territory — an area nearly as large as the original 13 states — for the United States.

Is Vincennes really Indiana's oldest city?

Yes — founded as a French trading post around 1732, predating the United States by over four decades. Vincennes University, founded in 1801, is Indiana's oldest university.

Corporate Event DJ & Production · Vincennes, Indiana

170 men waded through chest-deep floodwater to win a territory. Your event deserves the same kind of commitment.

In February 1779, George Rogers Clark led 170 American and French militiamen on a 180-mile winter march from Kaskaskia, through prairie flooded chest-deep in places, to lay siege to British-held Fort Sackville. It fell in two days, and that single victory secured the entire Old Northwest Territory for the United States. Vincennes was already Indiana's oldest city by then, founded as a French trading post around 1732 -- more than four decades before the country it helped create. I bring the same show-up-no-matter-what approach to every corporate date I run here.

Where corporate events happen in Vincennes

Vincennes University

The Pantheon, 702 Main Street
A civic hub in downtown Vincennes, regularly used for business functions and community gatherings.

What I actually cover

Conference and presentation sound
Wireless lav or handheld mic, a PA sized to the room, confidence monitor if you need to hear your own slides without turning around.

Corporate galas and recognition dinners
Background music through dinner, a clean mic for remarks and awards, then a DJ set once the formal program wraps -- one system, one operator, all night.

University and civic events
Faculty retirements, department functions, and community programs at venues like Vincennes University and The Pantheon -- built around the honoree or the occasion, not a generic playlist.

Holiday parties and staff celebrations
Full sound, MC, and dance floor lighting, run with a corporate playlist and a schedule that respects a workday the next morning.

Who you are actually hiring

I am Terry Tunks. I have been running sound since 1987 and producing events since 1992. I do not send someone else in my place -- if Spectrum Sound is on your invoice, I am the one setting up the gear and running the show, in Vincennes or anywhere else in the Tri-State. I also work as a subcontract AV tech for four national AV companies on their pharmaceutical meeting circuit, so the standard I hold myself to on a Vincennes conference is the same one I hold on those national-brand events.

Corporate event DJ FAQ — Vincennes, IN

How much does a corporate event DJ cost in Vincennes?

Corporate work runs $595 to $2,000+ depending on scope, plus the flat $100 Zone 2 travel fee. A single-room meeting or presentation sits at the low end; a full-day conference or gala with lighting sits at the high end.

What is the travel fee for a Vincennes event?

Vincennes is Zone 2 on my published travel-zone list, a flat $100, shown as its own line on your quote. It is disclosed up front and never added after you have already signed.

What happens if a microphone or speaker fails mid-event?

I run backup wireless mics and a backup amp on every corporate date, so a single equipment failure does not stop your program. That standard was set running national brand activations at 10,000-plus attendee events, and I have not lowered it since.

How far ahead should I book for a Vincennes corporate event?

Weekday conference and corporate dates are more flexible than weekend weddings, but Vincennes University's academic calendar drives busy stretches -- commencement and homecoming weekends book up first. Four to six weeks out is comfortable for most corporate bookings.

"VU faculty retirement event, 30-year career, about 100 colleagues and family. Terry had the playlist and program built around the professor's era. Asked the right questions beforehand instead of guessing."
