Best DJ Ever?What did the kids mean when they said, ‘You are the best DJ ever’This junior high crowd was blown away when I played all 10 pages of their special requests. Does that make me the best DJ ever? Not necessarily—but it does mean the kids had the best time because they got to hear the music they wanted, live on the spot. Other DJs from “big companies” had disappointed them in the past, often refusing requests with excuses like *“I don’t have that in my library.”* That wasn’t the case here! Highlights of the night included:Cold Spark Machines– No one expected them, and when they went off, it felt like a real concert. Glow sticks & light-up glasses– A must-have for an epic dance party! Projector– Played music videos to go along with the songs. Haze Machine– A subtle effect that enhanced the lighting. Pro lighting setup– Big enough to fill an entire school auditorium. The energy was high, the music was perfect, and the kids left with an unforgettable experience!
