Party was at 6 and I was set up with plenty time to spare. Decided to do the spooky songs when it got darker. I was mostly playing pop songs since it was an elementary school.  As the night progressed there were more announcements. They were going to have a dance mob to the song Thriller so I made sure I did not play that at all. 

  The folks leading the dance brought their own speaker but it is always better to connect with the main system since there are two raised speakers as opposed to one speaker on the floor. I made sure I had the connection for the laptop   already set up on the mixer. There were about 30 folks doing the Thriller dance. Then later they were giving lessons on how to do the dance for anyone who wanted to learn and gave them the chance to perform it.

  I did a function for the school a month ago so I didn’t want to do the same line dances plus the same games. It is good to switch it up.  We did the musical chairs which is always a hit and we made sure we had the younger folks with the younger folks then moved up with the older folks.  We ended up doing three rounds.

  We did have a big crowd right before we were supposing to close so we went 30 minutes longer. I was going strictly by their playlist then at the end I took some fun pop requests.
