What do you think of my mix?

So I've been mixing for a bit on my laptop using VirtualDJ, and this is the first one I've recorded.
I'm going to be the DJ for my school's "picnic dance" which is the last dance of the school year (its in june) and the very last dance for the Gr. 12's.

My school's really tight knit with 150 people so I know the gr.12s well and I want them to finish their highschool career with a bang, with something to remember.

With that in mind, I planned this mix to be the very last set with slow songs before and after, as well as our traditional song to finish off a dance "Home for a Rest" - Spirit of the West.

Tell me what you think, give me some suggestions and feedback!

Thanks guys!

I think you should cut off the ATC song at "the kisses of the sun..." because it sounds really sloppy with everybody dance now and the other song.

Personally I think you should just crossfade some songs together instead of trying to mix them together. Keep working at finding what sounds nice though. Maybe you should get acapellas and instrumentals and put them together so it doesn't sound so sloppy.

ok I'll try some instrunmentals + acapellas
how do you do that though with only two turntables (or in my case virtual turntables)
Should I make like pre-mixed stuff and try fade them together?
