On Friday the Dynamic DJ crew headed out to STM to DJ the third dance of the year, the St. Patrick’s Day dance. We arrived and were greeted by a slew of enthusiastic students and staff. We arrived around 6:30PM and were all set up ready to go at 7:00 which was the time the dance started. The event was mostly populated by 6th & 7th graders. There was a very low turn out of 8th graders at this event. We were told that the 8th graders currently think they’re “too cool for school” because they are graduating this year.
The dance really got started at around 7:30 when mostly everyone who was coming was there. This was when we really started to play the jams.
New equipment
This is actually the first event that we used our new equipment which included 2 new full range PA cabinets (Behringer Eurolive B215A) and a new whopping 18″ subwoofer cabinet (Behringer Eurolive B1800X Pro). They worked absolutely great! We love them! They filled the gym with crystal clear sound which was absolutely amazing. The students seemed to enjoy the new equipment as well. We used our standard lighting tree which consists of two dance effect lights and two DMX intelligent lights.
Requests
We got many requests for a whole array of different songs. Most requests were for the Top 40 hits that are out now. We enjoy receiving requests as they give us a chance us to play what the audience wants to hear. At the same time, we use our best judgment as to whether each song is appropriate for the event.
Conclusion
Overall, we believe that everyone had a great time at the event including the students, staff, and parent chaperones. This is the last dance we will be doing at STM this year. Next year we will probably be asked back which is a great honor for us and especially for me because this is the middle school that I graduated from.
