School Dance Rules

1. I work with School Staff to create the atmosphere of YOUR choosing.
   
   
2. I use only clean radio edits but cannot do anything about 200 students filling in the blanks. I try to avoid these songs altogether.
   
   
3. I will not play anything brought in since I have no idea what will be on it.
   
   
4. I will not play anything I feel is inappropriate for the evening or age group.
   
   
5. I do not allow students back behind my table due to the amount of wiring on the floor and it will be mostly dark behind me.
   
   
6. I will stop the music immediately if a disruption in the crowd develops.
   
   
7. I will not play any head banging music that kids could start slam dancing to. (eg: Korn, Limp Biskit, Metallica, Ozzy) Remember this is a SCHOOL DANCE!
   
   
8. I will have a pad and paper for kids to write their request on and will try and play them (if appropriate).
   
   
9. I try not to repeat songs just because someone got there late and it was their favorite. If I can work it in later in the evening I try to accommodate.
   
   
10. I DO NOT allow anyone to give a "shout out" as they call it to anyone in the crowd using my microphone. You never know what a teenager might say and screaming into a quality microphone will rupture the diaphragm of the mic.

 

Crowd Interaction - High School
In contrast, at most high school events, I am there to provide my awesome sound and lighting system, and play the music the students want to dance to! In most cases, high school students are not interested in games and contests, but I am happy to provide this approach upon request.
