Portland School Dance & Prom DJ Guide

1. Your dance needs a professional sound system

When you're hiring a DJ, you are not just getting someone who can pick out popular music. An experienced Oregon DJ will also bring their own professional sound gear. This is essential if you want to create a fun and festive atmosphere for your school event. Speakers are not a one-size-fits-all solution. At DJ Cutt Entertainment, we have a wide range of sound equipment and we will tailor a sound solution to fit your venue and the number of participants.

Speakers aren’t a one size fit all solution. If your DJ only has one type of speaker, then you’ll want to find someone else who is able to match gear to your specific requirements. At DJ Cutt Entertainment, we have a wide range of sound equipment and we will tailor a sound solution to fit your venue and the number of participants.

It’s important that the music not be too loud or two soft, but evenly cover the dance floor. That’s our goal at every event.

2. Music for both the kids and the adults

You want your students to have fun and be able to listen to the music they like. But you also have a responsibility to only play appropriate music at an official school function. At DJ Cutt Entertainment, we give the students a chance to pick out the songs they want to hear before the dance. Use our music planning tools so parents, teachers, and administrators can review and approve the playlist in advance.

At DJ Cutt Entertainment, we give the students a chance to pick out the songs they want to hear before the dance. This also allows parents, teachers, and administrators a chance to create a no-play list and have final approval over what songs are allowed. We also know without being told which songs are inappropriate for a school setting.

3. Lighting schemes to match your dance theme

Sound is only one half of the school dance equation. A professional DJ will also bring premium lighting effects that create just the right atmosphere. From laser light shows, wall effects, and LED screens playing music videos, we can design a custom lighting package that matches your budget. We can create lighting scenarios that complement your dance theme, including custom lighting displays that feature your school logo or slogan.

4. DJ and photo booth

Adding a photo booth to your school dance or prom is one of the most popular upgrades we offer. Students love taking home printed memories from the night, and it keeps energy high throughout the entire event.
