There’s nothing quite like a high school reunion — and Leland High School knows how to throw one! We were thrilled to be part of Leland’s 40-Year Reunion, continuing our long-standing relationship with their amazing alumni community. After working with them for their 35th reunion and returning last year for their 40th celebration, it was an honor to bring the energy once again for another incredible class milestone.

One of the event organizers, who attended last year’s reunion, reached out to us to make sure we were part of this year’s party — and of course, we said yes! Our team was excited to recreate that same fun, nostalgic vibe that everyone loved. We even brought back last year’s perfect playlist, filled with timeless hits from the 70s and 80s that got everyone singing, dancing, and reliving their favorite high school memories.

Adding a special touch, one of our DJs is a proud Leland alum, and he knew exactly how to keep the crowd on their feet all night. His insider knowledge of the school’s spirit and music taste made the night feel even more personal and unforgettable.

From setup to the final song, the dance floor was packed with smiling faces, laughter, and great music. We love helping old friends reconnect through music and memories — and we’re already looking forward to the next Leland reunion!

If you’re planning a high school reunion, let us help make it a night to remember. Our experienced DJs know how to bring energy, nostalgia, and fun to every event!

I was fortunate enough to do a party in the Bay Area recently and it was a good celebration. They just wanted party music. I was told just get Cumbia music and some old school. So I did set up the music but realized so what do they are going to listen to when they are eating. I was scheduled to play for five hours. Usually the first hour or so they will be eating then it is the dancing. I was told the party will be going on before hand and they will be eating before I start. This is my kind of party! More time for some dancing.  They had a speaker connected to a phone and they were playing like slow songs for dinner. I can tell it was not music the party planner selected but it was something the venue put together. And I was right since the phone belonged to someone at the venue. They were going to have a performance at 430 so I was asked to be already set up by that time so I would not be a distraction. I said no problem. I got there around 4 and I was set up by 417. It was an easy set up. The performers asked if I can connect to their phone. It was 430 and I wasn’t supposed to start till 5 but I happily obliged and connected the phone and made the microphone available. They had a Hawaiian performance and they had dancers from all ages get down. They had a few drummers but it was very lively.

  From 5 to 10 we went straight cumbia. We probably did 80 percent cumbia for 5 hours and did some ranchera music. We did a little old school but it was Spanish that got everyone on the dance floor.

Mt Madonna had wonderful graduation ceremony at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy for class of 23. We have done the last 4 celebrations but we did take two years off from Covid. Mt. Maddonna is so awesome to work with since they give us the schedule so its so easy to follow.  The amphitheater is a beautiful spot to hold a graduation. All you  need is two speakers to reach the whole audience.  The city runs the facility and all we do is make a phone call to get them to open up the  power  for us. It is nice to have that support. Such a beautiful place to walk the stage, grab a diploma, and share memories with loved ones! We provided the microphones, music and sound and made it memorable! We played a little background music as people settled in, the main song was Pomp and circumstance as the graduates walk in, rise up by Andrea day played in the back as students got up and shared a rose with someone who supported then along the way. Tomorrows people by Ziggy Marley played after every graduate had received their diploma. Final hits at the end of the day that were played were Celebration by Kool and the Gang can’t stop the feeling by Justin Timberlake, Firework by Katy Perry, Congratulations by Post Malone, 24K Magic by Bruno Mars, and many more fun songs were played that day. Congratulations to the Class of 2023!

In 2016, we did a fun sweet 16 party in Morgan Hill. They were an awesome family and I remember how awesome hosts they were.  They made sure we had food which was so nice of them. We played in  heir spacious home and the set up was in the garage but we had a 3rd speaker in the outside. Then 7 years later, the family calls me up to do a monumental 90th birthday party.  This was an exciting event because we know Dad is 90 years old and can still dance up a storm. This time we took the party up North from the Morgan Hill Area to Half Moon Bay.

It doesn’t matter if your turning 10, 21 ,40, or even 90! We received a fun playlist from the family to make you to make you move! In this case it was a 90th b day party.  In the beginning it was a relaxed setting at first while the guests were having dinner and drinks, and out of nowhere, everyone rushes to the dance floor as soon as they hear that first dance hit of the night. This song that hit so hard was no other than 50 cents in da club (its your birthday) song. And of course the birthday man himself dancing away like he’s only 30, the night continued on till the very last second with the nights top hits mambo italiano by Dean Martin, Yeah-Usher, Titi me Prengunto-Bad Bunny, Cupid Shuffle-Cupid, and Cha cha Slide!

This was a truly fun party because of the fun music and the energy of the birthday boy.

Silent Disco is an incredibly unique and fun experience, and round 3 of Silent Disco at SCU was no exception! The event featured three distinct channels of music to choose from, all provided by the wonderful DJ Gamble. Whether you were a fan of hip-hop, EDM or R&B, there was something for everyone.

On this particular night the weather outside was dreary and rainy, but inside the venue it was all about the beats. DJ Gamble played two premixed mixes as well as some live music. It was an amazing atmosphere full of people dancing and singing along to their favorite tunes.

What makes Silent Disco so special is that even after a long night of music playing, your ears won't be ringing afterwards! Plus if you're looking for a change in music or atmosphere, you can switch over to a different channel with just a flip of a switch.

Overall, Round 3 of Silent Disco at SCU was an incredible success and everyone had an amazing time! From the diverse selection of genres to the lively atmosphere, it truly made for an unforgettable night!

It is crazy that 1982 didn’t seem like that long ago. I do remember the 80s. It has some of the best music of all time. There is so much to choose from. When doing a reunion, you have to see what year the group graduated and you can search the years. So for 1982 we were looking at 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. Its good to capture a year before they entered high school and a year after high school. I will look for the hits of the year. One of the theories I always come across is the late 70s folks were labeled two types: One type was the rockers and the other type was the disco folks. Rarely they were both it was one or the other.

Our contact gave us a list which I will post right now and it was pretty much all rock based. These songs that were included was Boston, Queen, Reo Speed Wagon, Elton John, Journey, Jackson Brown, Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, Lynard Skynard, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, The Cars, Foreigner, Styx, Van Halen, and Supertramp.

Its always good to prepare. We had all the rock music and in our back pocket we had the disco just in case. And it was good that we were prepared with disco since most of the folks wanted it at the event.

  Our first round we were in a gym rocking the silent disco. For the second round we were out by the steps by the mission. We were outside playing for the masses. The first time around we were playing on one channel and this time around we were notified we can do multiple channels. All we needed was another transmitter to send it to the headphones.

In the first channel we were playing more the the current music (even did a small Bollywood set) (always got to be prepared to play anything)  and on channel two we were playing more for the folks who like old school. We had our djs lined up next to each other mixing.

  Silent disco is the coolest thing since you can have multiple djs right next to each other and the music won’t conflict with each other. If we wanted to we could have 3 djs playing right next to each other. The set up of the silent disco took a few minutes. And another cool thing was the people were not even close and they can receive the music in their headphones.

It was neat to see the different color headphones in the dark. The color determined what channel the folks were listening to.

Love playing at Santa Clara University! We were playing for multiple ages and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Thank you Santa Clara for setting up a fun event for everyone.

Plan a Silent Disco Los Angeles Partygoers Will Enjoy

Hosting a party in Los Angeles is challenging. Not because there's a shortage of partygoers looking to let off steam on a Friday night, but because of the city's stringent noise ordinances.

Silent discos help you circumvent these strict rules that limit "noisy" hours to between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Now, you can host a party at any of Los Angeles' premium venues by planning a silent party Los Angeles night owls will enjoy.

Benefits of Hosting a Silent Party in the Los Angeles Area

Los Angeles isn't the only city where silent parties are overtaking event planning. They've become a go-to in most major cities because they're so beneficial and convenient.

1. Get Access to Preferred Venues

Because of LA's stringent noise ordinances, most venues and spaces choose not to rent to promoters, event planners, or individuals who intend to use the space to host a disco. This often means you'll have to find the most out-of-the-way locations when planning a party in Los Angeles. You can solve that issue with a silent party. You can get access to

2. Save on Costs

Besides ensuring you avoid the $500 fine for noise complaints or being promptly shut down at 9 p.m., you also don't have to

3. Attract More Attendees

You may not realize it, but the average silent party attendee may not be your typical nightlife prowler. Silent parties allow you to tap into a new demographic when planning a disco or get more of your friends to RSVP if you're hosting a party. That's because silent parties help attendees control the level of social interaction they feel comfortable having. Some don't enjoy parties because of anxieties when striking up a conversation.

4 Steps to Plan a Silent Disco Los Angeles Partygoers Enjoy

If you're convinced your next event should be a silent disco, this is what you need to do to get that going.

Find a Venue Suitable for a Silent Party

Space matters. If you haven't attended a silent party before, you may not know that attendees love to dance. Unlike your typical nightclub, where socializing and being seen is the purpose of the event, letting loose is the reason most attendees go to silent discos.

Try to allocate two to four feet of space to each attendee and use that as a gauge when hiring a venue.

Hire a Silent Party DJ

Throwing a silent party Los Angeles partygoers will enjoy is contingent on the DJ you're hiring. Like any dance or disco party, the DJ is the sole entertainment, and his mix matters. You want a DJ who can play to the crowd and read cues even though the party is silent.

You still want your silent disco partygoers to have a blast. If your budget allows, you could consider getting two or three DJs.

Rent Headsets from Reputable Rental Companies

The most important silent disco rental is the headsets. Your silent disco headsets should be noise canceling but also allow users to connect and maintain the connection at a distance. Sound quality is critical.

The headsets should suit the sound of the DJ and their mix, with crisp audio that adds to the experience.

Set Ground Rules for Attendees

If you're looking forward to avoiding the $500 in fines you can receive from going 5 decibels above the ambient noise, you need to relay a set of rules for your silent disco. The primary one should be silence. Talking is fine. But singing along at the top of your lungs should be avoided.
