“It’s two weeks later and the students are still talking about the dance!” (J. Paul Truluck Middle School)
“I can’t remember when we’ve seen the kids have such a good time.” (Whittemore Park Middle School)

Middle School dance productions are one of the most-demanding of all disc jockey engagements. To meet this specialized challenge, Music on the Strand's DJ ENTERTAINMENT:
• Strikes a balance between providing a positive experience and a really good time, with controlling the room and establishing boundaries and guidelines for proper decorum. |
| “You really keep the energy going!” (Conway Middle School) |
| • Plays SCHOOL EDITED current music. (Many steps beyond the versions played by radio stations.) |
| “We tried another DJ after you, and really there was just no comparison.” (South Brunswick Middle School) |
| • Conscientiously paces organized activities, dance segments, and dance routines in order to keep the production rolling along. |
| "Boy, you just never stop! You certainly make it a lot of fun for the kids." (North Myrtle Beach Middle School) |

SCHOOL EDITS! |
In the past, at a school dance, the BEST WAY to pack a dance floor with appreciative students was to masterfully present a current array of “beat-mixed” “R&B & Hip-Hop” (the songs comprising over 90% of the hits on the “Pop” music charts). The best versions available to the prudent DJ were the “radio edits,” the same as folks hear on the radio.
NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Though these versions are featured by popular radio stations, according to school faculty, parents, and we at Music on the Strand, the language and content of much of this music is simply not appropriate for inclusion at school functions. So . . . how does an effective School Disc Jockey please both the students and the “grownups?”
SCHOOL EDITS! Through a painstaking and time-consuming process, Music on the Strand goes through each segment of every song with a “fine-tooth comb.” We then creatively edit out everything questionable or undesirable. The result—squeaky clean versions of the hit songs that still thrill the students but raise no faculty eyebrows!
Music on the Strand conscientiously goes the extra mile to assure your complete satisfaction. We take the students and the DJ business very seriously! Back To Top |
