[@DJValentino864]

Yeah....The teachers killed that vibe by not lowering the lights...! #GoDJ

[@miked3278]

I came in the comments to say the exact same thing.... If they would have knocked those overhead lights down/off then you might have had a different story

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah it will be better next yr

[@404photos]

Tough crowd. I agree with you @DJValentino864 the overhead lights didn't help.

[@harryljenkins]

I completely agree. Kids are not going to dance with those gym lights on.

[@schhim82]

@@DjJayBook not for the seniors!

[@tylerjuneau5457]

I agree with these other commenters. The admins killed the vibe by leaving the lights on. Looks like you did great man. Its so hard to keep kids attention today too when all they know are 30 sec. of a TikTok song.

[@DjJayBook]

So so so so very True! Preciate it Bro!!

[@louprimo6062]

From my experience the venue was way too big for the number of people attending. No one was dancing because that dance floor is way too big. If that venue was half the size people would have danced. You're doing a great job. Thanks for the inspiration and keeping it real.

[@DjJayBook]

No Prob. I agree. Preciate it Bro!

[@MrCorykjr]

Mann!! Bringing back some bad ol memories for me. I just want to crawl under the table when that happens. It didn't help that the space was so large...it probably made it look worse than it actually was. Salute to you for powering through it!

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah! It was rough but we’ll get them next yr

[@stevenraman6587]

Just like DJ ILLEE said, that room is too big and not enough students, seriously that’s the whole school lol most didn’t turn up 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ no party atmosphere they should’ve halved the hall so they’re nearer to you and you can interact with them, why the hall’s flood lights on 🤣. You played some sick songs bro, real good

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah way too big! Preciate it Bro!!

[@djkellykel3383]

What's up bro! I like the fact that you keep it real, and every gig can't be a home run. Proms have to be the hardest gigs, because teenagers have attention spans like puppies lol. The music selection was on point, and it's cool they rebooked you for next year. It's your boy DJ Kel in the building. Proud member of the Book Club. #Keeprocking

[@DjJayBook]

Always appreciate you Kels!!! Good Look!

[@djdannybhtx]

Jay nice job as always! Questions, when you have your camera up high like that, do you just let it run until that battery dies and keep an eye on it, switching out batteries s they die??

[@djjesse1294]

What's up Jay. Wow. There loss, can't believe it. You did good as always. I think room was too bright & too big. Thanks for sharing. Peace out

[@DjJayBook]

I agree! Preciate it Bro!!

@DJJayBook - brilliant video!! uncomfortable circumstances but executed with pure composure and class. Once again we’re all learning from your videos 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@DjJayBook]

Preciate it Bro! Thank you for watching!

[@Dexter3480]

Great job great music and I have experience the same like this. But what really get them going for me was slow songs. Just letting you know what I have experience. I always enjoy your videos so don’t get discouraged when events doesn’t get lit. You did your job. 💯💪🏾💪🏾

Agreed! Preciate you Bro!!

[@junyah1976]

this wasn't on you bro-it happens-teachers,bright lights,always a vibe killer

[@jamesbarnes6964]

Yes. Definitely a perfect storm for this. I don't think anyone wasn't dancing because of the music or sound system. It's just the effects from the pandemic. They invited you back so that's a win.

[@DjJayBook]

This is true!

[@DjJayBook]

I agree

[@SIGI-SOUNDS]

Great informative video! I respect the hustle!

Preciate you Bro!!

I’m sure we’ve all been there. All you can do is keep throwing everything at them.

[@DjJayBook]

For Real For Real!

[@justwatchingyoutube3285]

First you were on point.. Faculty often time have no clue and the lights should have been turned off.. However to add the room was way to big, often time people think big dance floors are a bonus but that is opposite of the truth.. I saw a lot of this unfolding and decided during covid to use it as a great way to exit the DJ and Photobooth game.. DJing was no longer any fun, and I always told myself when it's no longer fun it's time to end it..

[@DjJayBook]

Couldn’t agree more! Preciate it Bro!!

[@Tdiesel2679]

Music selection was great. But the school messed up by having sooooo much open space, also its really bright in there.

[@DjJayBook]

Very true! We’ll get em again next yr and a different venue

[@djtreyb3835]

The other thing is looks like they kept the main lights on also. Kids like dark . Did rock it. Just with 2 speaker stacks

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah man! Plenty of sound for 35 kids

[@DJChrisCenzo]

Great Job! Nobody danced but the key is nobody complained. Not much you can do with 30 kids in a room that can comfortably hold 2k.

[@DjJayBook]

Facts! Preciate it Bro!!

[@musicinmotion6489]

Hey Jay, you did a good job with the mix!!! They should have dropped the lights down. This happens a lot when its to bright. It's hard to get a vibe in a big space. Just like walking into a big crib that isn't warm and cozy. You always hold it down and make it happen. Tough time right now we are still going through. Appreciate you addressing the situation you were in. Much Love!!!

[@DjJayBook]

No Prob! Preciate it Bro!!

[@FlaBlack]

I really like that you showed this. Personally I have heard things like say something on the mic or play the right songs. I found quick mixes work intro. bar loop out

[@DjJayBook]

Finally!!! Someone who understands!! Lol!

[@moeberry6735]

Been there! Lol Too much dance floor space takes the coziness away.

[@DjJayBook]

I agree!

[@aapocio8844]

Ahh... I had this happen in the past. It's due to the size of venue.. if they sectioned dance area for dancing with dividers so that it feels more snug, children wouldn't feel so.. embarrassed or uneasy...😁

[@ministerslugger]

Great job my brother! I think maybe if they administrators had turned the lights off that would have made a difference. I don't think it was something that you did wrong. Thanks for sharing this with us! I'm DJ'ing a prom this weekend so I definitely needed to see this.

[@DjJayBook]

I agree! Preciate it Bro!!

[@ministerslugger]

@@DjJayBook Yes Sir! I'm glad I saw this video. I appreciate your transparency. I had a gig last night (prom) that was similar to your experience. The kids didn't dance much but the staff enjoyed the music. The line dances, country music, and tejano music were the highlight of the night.

[@kishennaicker6852]

You should share the list of tracks of you used

[@DjJayBook]

Working on a way to do so

[@djnoji8638]

Kinda curious if you’d share your playlist. Also, did you get a playlist from them?

[@DjJayBook]

Try to find a way to and they gave me most of the list

[@3p_psychopathproductions5150]

Yup. The lights on killed it for you. Teenages dont want people see them dance. If the lights were lowered or off. Your setup would set a better vibe. Good job. Most youtube wouldnt show this gig log but you have the ball to show everybody every gig isnt a hit

[@DjJayBook]

Right! I show the good, the bad, and the ugly! Lol! You can still learn something from all of them

[@kennyzail6224]

I feel for you.... I've been there a couple times. There isn't anything you can do. You do your best, hit them with all the bangers and hope they realize it's not your fault.

[@DjJayBook]

Preciate it Bro!!

[@trac-tbeatboyy1238]

Nice setup bro! Also music selection was dope, proms to me is one of the hardest events I’ve done as well. It took me also a whole 2 hours to get the kids going but thank god I did. So I know what u went thru. 💪🏿💪🏿

[@DjJayBook]

Lol! Thanks for feelin my pain

[@laentdj]

Hey Jay hope all is good with you brotha! 2 major reasons that nobody was dancing or reacting... 1. The gym lights were on and that’s a major mood killer. 2. There was like nobody there compared to the size of the space. Nothing really you could’ve controlled but don’t let that get you down! Just keep doing what you do.

[@DjJayBook]

Facts My dude! Preciate you!

[@djsergeantp4013]

I just finished up a prom last week and it was nerve racking. Usually I have done a welcome back dance. Pep rally, homecoming, winter formal, JROTC balls spring dance and finally PROM. this time going in literally naked with absolutely no feedback from request lists from prom committee. It was a challenge. No prom dates were allowed. Just the seniors. Luckily those who came were ready to have a good time. As in your case I was rebooked for next year. But I left the gig shaking my head. Like wuh🤔🤔🤔 Thanks for your honesty and keeping it real Jay Book. Question do the 181s put out enough bass in that environment without being coupled??? Just curious. Thanks again.

[@DjJayBook]

No I appreciate you for that info. 181’s def put out enough Bass for what I needed. These are crazy times.

[@djelx1]

You threw some nice mixes, buildups and bangers (salute!), and nothing stuck - it’s like that and that’s the way it is... sometimes lol. Sometimes nowadays the crowd be off, hard to explain what’s the cause - maybe full moon 🌕? I spin in clubs at nite and this week’s been hit or miss with me too 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@DjJayBook]

I feel ya pain! Preciate it Bro!!

[@kidcupid07]

Book! I wanna get into school dances and proms. Question what is a good price range to start and build from. I don’t want to be DJ undercut I want to charge appropriately and in our DJ culture range

[@DjJayBook]

If you’ve got some video of you doing it previously then you could warrant more money. If not, for a basic prom I would start off with $700 and for all bells and whistles charge $1100 - $1200

[@kidcupid07]

@@DjJayBook man thanks a million Jay, I trust your expertise this will get me in the ball park!

[@donaldchilnerjr175]

I use the butterfly catch to hold my headphones perfectly

A good reminder to always bring your A game regardless of the circumstances. Put this group of people in the cafeteria. instead of a cavernous gym and you’ve got a party!

Right! I’ve got them again this yr so we will see what happens round 2

[@drod150]

Is that the kind of music those kids want to dance to? Sounded early 2000.

[@DjJayBook]

Its part of the list they gave me prior to the event

[@chilxxl]

Pretty much had the same thing this past weekend. Each couple had to stay on their X. They couldn't be in groups. My worst prom ever. Damm covid.

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah it sucks sometimes

[@djroyal414]

Not all events come with packed dance floors. I will always ask for a playlist from the school when I do school events to give me a better idea of what they are into. And of course will add my own songs to help build it up.

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah I did and that’s mainly what they asked for with a little bit of me sprinkled in

[@djmcnateslate8081]

Great job. Maybe some emceeing would help too.

[@bazmurphy7792]

We are still in a sort of lockdown In England but remember doing a 40th where there must of been a massive 15-20 people turned up. Felt sorry for them as the catered for about 100. Loads if food left over. Some you win and some you don't. 👍

Bruh you went from thuggish to (change clothes) gangster thug. Lol I’m kidding bro! But damn, that scene looked scary with only two ppl

[@DjJayBook]

Right?! It was rough, but it will be better next yr

[@UltraLowMuzik]

Hmm, why is it so bright in the hall with so few people, they would of been better of with a smaller venue and for me the speaker setup isn't enough to fill that size of hall. But that is a matter of opinion I guess, louder is always better for me.

[@DjJayBook]

Right!! I will get a chance to redo them this next year

[@sirdrake6]

Looks like they could have partitioned the gym and made the a little smaller, while practicing social distancing. I’ve had the dances and proms where the kids weren’t big on dancing, but they still enjoyed the vibe.

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah it’s a tough spot sometimes

[@djsunnierockready9033]

Wow this was a tough crowd. How do you handle it and not break down ? I’m trying to get into DJaying so I know I’ll have to deal with such a crowd

[@DjJayBook]

[@hiptoalieu]

Good job man, making the best of things😂 It STINKS that they had to leave those stupid house lights on😩 Just a suggestion, make your bally hoos, a bit less erratic??? Could help focus attention on the dance floor😃

Glad you were able to keep the vibe going regardless of whether or not they were into dancing. In these post-pandemic times, you never know what's going to happen.

[@DjJayBook]

Had to!! They needed some kind of bright spot. Lol!

[@gabrieltrinidad9721]

you play very old music That’s why 😁😁

[@DjJayBook]

Bro the music was not old. It was early come in music then the meat of the night was all current bangers. Space and lights were the culprit that night

[@dantonliam]

That space is waaaaayyyyy too big for that many kids....and do you think there were any more lights they could have turned on for you? I mean maybe it could have been a bit brighter in there....ffs....

[@DjJayBook]

They said they can’t turn those lights off. Gym was way too big.

[@melbournemanning7937]

The venue was way too big! A smaller room may have helped. Sounds like you were playing the right music. The setup was nice!

[@DjJayBook]

Yeah I agree!

[@thepeacedrummer]

Man... TOUGH GIG!! Like many others have said, the dance floor is too big. If they decide to do it again this year in their gym, let the admin team know you'd like to setup at halfcourt then drape/block off everything behind. Another thing was the lights being on. Unfortunately, if you don't have the ultimate "wow" production setup, the kids won't dance with the lights on. Lastly, I haven't watched recent videos yet, but I'd highly recommend coupling your subs together in front so you can prevent power alleys/valleys. Kids love to feel the music rather than listen to it, so every DB counts when it comes to school dances. Hope you have a great 2023 year! Cheers!

[@djmrvip]

Really need a strong opening for these events. Try using some MC skills/ Tricks before even opening the dance floor. Make a reason for everyone to come out there together at one time. Also Sounded like a really old playlist I never heard any of the songs this age actually listens to. At my proms I have to make clean hyped quick edits to mostly choruses of tik tok dances & those hot tracks to keep their attention. Way to keep it real tho.

[@DjJayBook]

Lol! Funny you should say that cause thats the music they requested prior to the event and I used slides (which was the only thing they’d dance to) to get them going in general. The room was way too big, the lights were not completely off and it was only 72 kids. That to me was the problem. Music was very current BTW. Lol

[@ceciliojacquez5783]

As a Dj for over 30 years, We all get this kind of crowd, Sometimes the only way they will get up is either for a Drink, Restroom or when it's time to go. This is what we come across at time's. Nice Job, Nice gear. Keep at it as it will get better soon.

[@DjJayBook]

I agree! Thank you for the insight. Respect

[@therealdjmikej]

IMO the lights on if decided by admin was a bad call. Aside of that, the large room does not make it any easier.

[@DjJayBook]

True and I agree!!

[@treethedj2510]

I noticed a few things immediately that kept the kids off the dance floor. 1. Lights too bright. They should’ve turned down the house lights. Kids won’t dance if they feel like everybody can see them. 2. The room is too big for such a small crowd. They would’ve been better off doing this in the cafeteria. They should’ve looked at the number of tickets sold and came up with a better plan. 3. Small COVID crowd. A lot of events right now are plagued by this. 4. No mic interaction. You gotta connect with your audience. Pick that mic up and talk to the crowd. Good event though bro. They’re not all home runs. Thanks for keeping it 💯.

[@DjJayBook]

See I agree. Now as far as the mic goes I was on it and was still getting no participation. They just chilled through the night

[@treethedj2510]

@@DjJayBook it’s like that sometimes. Nothing more you could’ve done. You were re-booked, so you did something right.

[@colinbuckley39]

It was probably hard to get a good vibe going due to too much of a large area for the number of guests which didn't look like a lot And too much light in the venue Probably would of been different if the venue was smaller and there wasn't too much light You done the best you could do The fact you got another booking from it reflects the music content you played 👍

[@DjJayBook]

Hey, I appreciate that! All you can do

[@aquilinobenitez5055]

All we can do is provide the best music we can. If u got a dud crowd, then accept it’s on them, not u. My only complaint on your set up is that those wash FX are set way too bright. I have and use them at about 50% at any given time. Other than that you, as usual, are on point.

[@DjJayBook]

Preciate it Bro!

[@steadymanos]

Sometimes I just grab the mic and tell the kids we have 2hrs, we have 1hr. But in reality that room was too big.. I did a gig last night and I couldn't get them to dance.. I blame it on Covid..

[@DjJayBook]

I agree! We’ll get em next yr.!

[@rlbentertainment7631]

How big was the school? Seems like way too big of a room for the size or amount of people coming they should of expected a number and acted accordingly, cut the room in half so the students were closer to you. Lights on is a party killer what was that school thinking😒🙄 ive noticed in my experience alot of schools dont seem to care about school dances alot anymore its really sad feel bad for the students.

[@DjJayBook]

Right! They usually have it at another location but gym was all they were allowed. Next yr should be much better

[@BrokenSpokeMoto]

Damn bro. 1. The lights. 2. Low turn out. 3. The tracks we heard you play were all very dated for kids. You gotta play the shit that’s hot rn. Ask your son what’s hot atm . Imo that was also a big factor why the dam floor wasn’t going. Still, mad props.

[@DjJayBook]

I played current and early 2000’s cause that’s what they asked for prior to the event. Remember you are only seeing an edited version of the night. I def. used my son’s input on this one as well. They just wouldn’t budge

[@frantzyre7396]

Merci pour cette vidéo. Ce n’était pas prévisible ? Là, on voit que le matériel n’est pas approprié à cette salle. il y avait plus de personnes de prévues ? Les tables sont trop loin de toi, la piste de danse aussi. Tu as fais des interventions au micro pour rapprocher le public à côté de toi ? Là comme ça tu peux faire le meilleur mix de ta vie, c’est trop dur de danser

@@djfatstax2400 its not a vaccine

[@rongriggs4430]

Very hard to set the mode and hold the vibe with the lights on. Plus god only knows what kind of grounds rules were set by the teachers and the prom committee. I just had a prom where the students were told only 4 at a table. They didn't have to wear masks as long as they are sitting. And if they stand up and walk around masks at all times. It wasn't very fun for them and and selfies were at a minimum.

[@DjJayBook]

Wow! I can only imagine the level of difficulty

[@kevonmanuel]

The Venue was way too large for the number of people attending. If they held it in a smaller but still safe room, the kids would have probably started dancing.

I’m a older dj and i see and room way to big for the amount of people.

[@DjJayBook]

Facts 💯

[@DJILLEE]

Too big of space, too few people, lights still on in gym...everything was completely stacked against you. Sometimes there's absolutely nothing else you can do.

[@DjJayBook]

I couldn’t agree more. For that size room it has to be packed !

[@GuayacohastalasGuevas]

Not enough stage lighting for such big ass gym and the place looks uninvited... just plain Jane.

[@DjJayBook]

Well that was there 2nd option due to covid restrictions. They told me only 70 kids bought tickets so I brought lights according to sales. Next year will be better

[@djjbsmuve346]

Teenagers!!! Good job. That wasn't on you.

[@DjJayBook]

Event hall way too big

[@DjJayBook]

Couldn’t agree More!

[@jimsargent7288]

I know this is some time ago you did this video. The school is to blame for this one. too big of venue to have this dance. They should have lowered the lights. Proms are a bitch. ...

[@dnette07]

Where they told not to dance due to Covid-19? 🤷‍♂️

[@DjJayBook]

No I guess they were just a little apprehensive

[@1DjScarface]

Dawg I hate dry events like this... depending on who in charge I saved 1-2 events like this by playing all the local hood music. I couldn’t play it because it wasn’t any clean versions but after multiple requests the person in charge told me just play what ever they been asking for all night... once they told me clean & dirty didn’t matter no more that last hour & 1/2 was off the walls

[@DjJayBook]

Lmao!! That’s crazy

[@showtymeentertainment4591]

Kids don’t dance,they just stand around with there phones !!!

[@DAMOOSESQUADDJs]

Well I just did a 4 hour pram and the phone was the least of there worries they danced from the first song to the last song

[@DjJayBook]

Lol! Yeah. Just thought they’d be happy to have their prom. We will try again next yr

[@showtymeentertainment4591]
