World Party started as the vision of Pastor Wes Dupin at Daybreak Community Church and turned into the largest millennium celebration in the Midwest.

De Lux Productions co-produced the event with Daybreak. WP was a mixture of elements; the pageantry of a half time show, with the energy of a rock concert and the dancing and singing of a Broadway review.

Creative arts director Mark Courtney and director & choreographer Keri Keaney wrote the show, which featured a time-themed presentation with 12 period pieces - nostalgic flashbacks of the past 100 years. With a cast of nearly 700, a massive 80'x 140' stage, a 30' diameter circular video screen, and custom vintage video footage the show was both heart-warming and amazing.

At the end of the evening the nearly 10,000 guests were amazed by a spectacular pyro display and over 500 pounds of confetti and balloons coming down to celebrate the new millennium.
