High School Dance Dj taking over the  San Jose Area (San Jose dj serving Sunnyvale, San Jose, Milpitas, Los Gatos and Santa Clara)

 

This has to be the best homecoming season for us this year. We did proms for schools and they invited us back to do their homecoming.  We love really love doing high school dances. They give us songs that fuel the dance floor and what we do is we build off each list so the playlist is full of energy. We have 6 high school lists to work off when we step into prom season. Each school is different. Typically, someone from the school body will send us a playlist via Spotify or google doc. Then we add their songs to our playlist and we make sure we have clean versions.

 

Los Gatos told us not to worry about the lights. We just showed up with our sound and their light show was amazing. Our dj said it felt like he was doing a festival. Los Gatos did bring their energy.

Evergreen had an outside event and it was very festive. A lot of kids showed up and it was a huge party. Evergreen always comes to play hard!

The Kings Academy had their homecoming after their football game and we rocked it in the gym.

Independence had their homecoming in the middle of the school outside and they provided a playlist that bumped and the students loved the vibe.

Yerba Buena is happening  next  week and we always have a blast with them.

James Lick is having their homecoming this Saturday and the Saturday before Halloween is always a good time.

 

Thank you high schools for helping us providing the soundtrack of your memorable events!

California Academic Decathlon “Nerd ball 2023” (Bay Area Dj serving San Jose, Santa Clara and Milpitas)

 

 You may ask what is a Decathlon? How many miles does that consist of? Well its sort of like a race but with the mind. These are some of the top scholars of the state where they compete with their minds. They spend so much time prepping for this big show. This year they decided to do something different for their scholars. Usually these students spend a lot of their time studying and they wanted the kids to be kids and let loose. Black and White Affair were in charge to make that happen. This party had so much energy for the entire 3-hour event! We played at a great location at the Santa Clara Marriot. The ballroom included an outdoor patio that was wired with our speaker to provide audio inside and outside! We kept the big boy speakers inside to keep up with the energy that was in the room as the one solo speaker was handling its own for the patio area. As soon as the event started and music started playing, dancing immediately began, filling in the dance floor quickly. People overflowed to the dinning areas and outdoor area as there were a lot of people in attendance. Various amounts of request came from everyone, songs the had the biggest reactions include Baby-Justin Bieber, Boys are Liars pt 2-Ice Spice, sky- Playboi Carti, the undefeated Caballo Dorado with Payaso de Rodeo, and Yo Voy by Xion & Lennox kept the dance floor shaking.

Graduation at Christmas Hill Park (Bay Area dj serving San Jose, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Sunnyvale, Fremont and Pleasanton.)

I would usually do the sound for graduation for Mt. Madonna in Gilroy. I did it 2018 and 2019 then the world was closed for a bit. 2020 and 2021 there were no graduations for the public. This year we were now open and we had a nice graduation celebration in Gilroy. Students invited their guests to come to the celebration.

 

It was not too hot for this graduation. I brought two 15 inch speakers and it was enough sound for the amphitheater. I used my older 15-inch speakers since they can take a licking and keep on ticking. Even though I had the tanks working for me I had a few more speakers in reserve in my car. Back in 2018 the Gilroy heat took out one of my speakers. Luckily I had another that took its place for the event.

 

Thirty minutes before the graduation I play the preceremony music while the graduates are getting situated. This time around I went will old school that everyone knows and did something different. I threw in acoustics of songs that everyone knows. I was playing Ed Shereen songs and Rihanna covers.

 

I like the graduations at Mt Madonna since they have a rose dedication ceremony. The graduates give a rose to someone who was there for them. I play a 3 minutes song, which is plenty of time to find that special someone to give the rose to.

 

At the end the graduates officially graduate and its party time. I played a festive song and threw in a Spanish banger just to finish things off.

Homecoming at Kings Academy (Sunnyvale Bay Area DJ)

Homecoming at Kings Academy

This is the first time I am doing a dance right after a football game. The dance starts at 9 and will finish close to midnight. I had a list of over 300 songs. A lot of the songs were very good dance music. These were the songs I can use for the event and could not stray from the list. It does have a feel good vibe with the music. 

 I was underneath a huge tent and my power was close by. I was able to set up my big boy speakers and lights in an hour time. It did take some more time since I had to take my gear through a few gates from my car. 

 I loved the positive energy. Once I was set up a girl from the leadership team asked if I needed a drink or snacks. Then she came up again and asked if I was ok. That was awesome!!!

At the end of the night I got assistance in putting my gear away which was a big help.

 

At the beginning of the dance I knew it would be different. At the start, students were at the front and cheering in all the students that came in. Imagine hearing the applause when you walked in! Some students would run in. Some of the artists that were on the list were Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. The list itself was preapproved so the content was student appropriate. I did notice they would like to bounce with the cool house/edm songs.

Overall a fabulous night with Kings Academy. These students were ready to dance and they had the positive vibe!
