Replying to DJing my High School's Winter Formal Dance
I'm a senior this year at my local high school and decided I would ask my administration to DJ our dance hahahaha. They for some reason granted me the privilege and gave me $375, so now I need to figure out what the fuck to do.
Speakers/lights are taken care of. I bought a massive PA system and will be borrowing more PA's and subs from friends for plenty sound. I have DJ lights too- mushroom lights, can lights, lasers... The basic bullshit.
I need help figuring out how to make this the best dance of these kids lives. I want awkward freshman boys to get pussy, I want management to ban a student from ever doing it again because it got so wild, and most importantly I want kids to talk about how winter formal wasn't fucking lame as always.
Some things are obvious, I won't play cha-cha slide or cupid shuffle, and I WILL sneak in some Wu and Biggie... But what else? There is a fine line between awesome and shitty when it comes to music choice. I would love to play asap ferg but not only will the management hate it, but 95% of the student body will too. I want to use dope ass music that will hype the kids and piss of the mgmt. Songs like "shots shots shots" and "gas pedal" (the the chicks). Let me know what you guys think.
Also I have $375 to blow on dumb shit. I was thinking about buying glow sticks in bulk and wasting them all on the dancefloor, or maybe buy blacklights and make a dope ass scene. Let me know what you guys think.
Sidenote- Once I'm playing, the administration will not make me stop... They need music.
Sidenote 2- My SOLE goal is to get the kids hype... Not strictly piss off the people that are making it possible. If I could make kids and administration happy that would be best, but in the past I've found thats pretty damn hard.
