| 1.) | Q: At our last dance, we had poor attendance and everyone left early. Does that happen with your dances? |
| A: No. The only reason people will leave a dance is if they are not having fun. Most likely, they are not having fun because the DJ is not playing the right music or does not relate well with the mentality of the students | |
| 2.) | Q: What kind of music do you have? |
| A: Our music library consists of over 20,000 songs ranging from big band to rap and emo rock. All music is radio edited and playable at your dance. | |
| 3.) | Q: During a recent dance, a DJ who was not age appropriate arrived and played all the music he liked, but none of the music we students requested. What are your DJs like? |
| A: Personally, we believe that age is nothing but a number; however, younger DJs are typically more in tune with the newest music and trends. All Party Express DJs are in their early to mid 20s and relate well with students and faculty alike. | |
| 4.) | Q: Do you have lights? |
| A: Yes! We have a smaller light show for smaller dances and a nightclub style show that is included with the Club Xpress package. | |
| 5.) | Q: I saw Club Xpress on the web site, but what exactly is it? |
| A: Club X is our new concept in school dances. We combine the best in programmable lighting (like you see at concerts and in nightclubs) along with chest-pounding music all energetically mixed by the hottest DJs. Our goal is to bring the experience of a teen nightclub to your school in a safe mobile package. | |
| 6.) | Q: Do you perform activities like the YMCA, Macarena, and Cha Cha slide? |
| A: This depends on the students. Each schools students are unique, which makes each and every dance we perform different. Typically, Middle school dances feature many more activities than high school dances. High School dances are typically performed with all danceable music because students seem to dance more than middle school students do. A few activities in the mix keep middle school students happy! | |
| 7.) | Q: Do you DJ Proms? |
| A: Yes! We are your solution for a prom you will never forget! Since we are borderline DJ/production, we can make things happen that go beyond what typical DJs can do. For instance, we recently performed a prom with a fire and ice theme. We used our professional simulated fire lighting all around the room for added effect. The students and teachers loved the aura we created. | |
| 8.) | Q: Do you ever meet with the faculty and students to discuss details of the dance? |
| A: We gladly stop by and visit your school to get details of the event. This also gives you a chance to meet our DJs and see what we are like. You also get a chance to ask any questions and address any concerns. | |
| 9.) | Q: Do you DJ homecomings and other formal events? |
| A: Yes. A good portion of our school dance business is in formal events such as Homecomings and Winter Balls. We are available for any dance theme you would like. | |
| 10.) | Q: Are your services available for school sponsored after-prom parties? |
| A: Yes, in fact, we can offer various themes, ideas, and solutions to make the event a success. You tell us what you are looking for and we can make it happen. | |
| 11.) | Q: Do you offer discounts if we book both the prom and after-prom? |
| A: We do offer special rates when booking multiple events. Please call for details | |
| 12.) | Q: Why do DJs charge several hundred dollars to perform an event? |
| A: We have to charge a fair price because we are a business with real expenses (music, vehicles, equipment, insurance, etc.). We guarantee that any hobbyist will not have the resources to perform a dance on the level that we do. Remember, the success of your event rests in the hands of your entertainment. If students are not happy with the dances, they will find other places to spend their entertainment dollars. | |
| 13.) | Q: How long is the typical dance? |
| A: Middle school dances range between 2-3 hours, High school dances are 3 hours, Proms range from 4-5 hours. | |
| 14.) | Q: Do you have a fog machine? |
| A: Yes! Fog is used to enhance the look of the light show and is free. The problem with fog is that many newer buildings use particulate based smoke detector systems which are sensitive to any airborne particulate. Basically, fog machines can set these off inadvertently. Your school will need to sign a release if they would like us to use fog. | |
| 15.) | Q: What does the average school charge students to get into a dance? |
| A: $5-$7 is a good range depending on what package you choose. Today, you cant even go to a movie for $5 let alone get into a teen nightclub (average cover is $10). Students will easily pay $5-$7 once they know they are getting their moneys worth. | |
| 16:) | Q: Should we be using school dances as fundraiser's? |
A: Yes. A good school dance can be an excellent fundraiser but only if you have good entertainment and can draw a large crowd at every dance. The logic behind this is that you may pay more money for a good DJ; however, when 500-600 students arrive and pay $6 a head to get in, you will easily make over $2000 after paying the DJ. The best part: Your school made the money in 3 hours! |
