NABSTMC Disco Night: Dancing for a Cause with the Buffalo Soldiers

Donna Jones-Eubanks • October 18, 2026

Great music, unforgettable memories, and a mission worth celebrating!

Some events are about having a good time. Others are about making a difference. The NABSTMC Disco Night brought both together for an evening of celebration, community, and purpose.

Amethyst Star Ventures was honored to be part of this special fundraiser benefiting the scholarship efforts of the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Clubs (NABSTMC).

The October 10, 2026 Disco Night took place at Holiday Inn Killeen Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas.

Behind the disco-inspired celebration was something even more meaningful: an organization committed to preserving African American history, serving its communities, and helping students pursue their educational dreams.

Honoring the Legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers

The history of the Buffalo Soldiers dates back to 1866, when Congress established six segregated African American Army regiments following the Civil War. These regiments were later reorganized into four, including the legendary 9th and 10th Cavalry.

Despite facing discrimination and significant challenges, these soldiers built a distinguished legacy through their military service, contributions to American history, and work protecting some of the nation's earliest national parks.

Today, the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Clubs helps keep that history alive.

Founded from a motorcycle club established in Chicago in 1993, the organization has grown into a nationwide network dedicated to historical education, community service, veteran support, and charitable giving.

Their mission is about more than remembering history. It's about using that legacy to create opportunities for future generations.

A Disco Night with a Greater Purpose

The NABSTMC Disco Night fundraiser was an opportunity for supporters, members, and friends to come together in celebration while supporting the organization's scholarship mission.

Each year, NABSTMC scholarship programs help deserving students pursue higher education and take important steps toward their futures.

That's what makes events like this so meaningful.

The music and celebration bring people together, but the impact extends well beyond the evening itself.

We love seeing organizations create opportunities for their communities to have fun while supporting causes that genuinely matter.

Capturing the Celebration with Amethyst Star Ventures

At Amethyst Star Ventures, we believe event entertainment should be more than simply taking a picture.

It's about creating experiences that guests enjoy in the moment and memories they can revisit long after the celebration ends.

NABSTMC Disco Night gave us the opportunity to be part of that celebration, capturing the personalities, connections, and festive spirit that made the evening special.

From guest poses and finished photo booth creations to the candid moments happening around the event, every image tells a little piece of the story.

And while the finished guest experiences are always exciting to see, there's another side of the event that we enjoy sharing just as much.

Behind the Scenes: Where the Experience Begins

Before the guests step in front of the camera, there's work happening behind it.

Guests gather between a panel light and a blue lit photo booth in front of a neon backdrop.

Preparing equipment, checking lighting, testing the experience, and making sure everything is ready are all part of delivering a smooth, enjoyable event.

Our Event Ambassadors are there throughout the celebration to guide guests, keep the experience moving, and make sure the entertainment stays engaging.

Those behind the scenes moments might not always make it into the guests' photo galleries, but they're an important part of what makes an Amethyst Star Ventures event special.

For this recap, we're sharing both sides: the polished guest creations and a look at the people and preparation behind the experience.

Because the experience doesn't begin when the camera flashes. It begins long before the first guest arrives.

Celebrating Community, History, and the Next Generation

We extend our appreciation to the members and supporters of NABSTMC for the work they do to preserve the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers and invest in the next generation through scholarships.

It was a pleasure to be part of an evening where celebration and community service came together.

The disco music may have ended, but the purpose behind the celebration continues.

And that's a memory worth keeping.
