Why have homecoming or prom?
FunSchool can be rigorous and stressful. So it's good to occasionally pump of the volume and heat up the dance floor with all their friends , making memories that last a long time.

SocialTeens love to hang out together. They post on social media which friends have moves like Jagger. Specific songs can help shape & share their story for years to come.

CelebrateStudents need an outlet to recognize and applaud the talent or social suave of their student leaders/court. Oh, and have a reason to get all dressed up and look oh so stellar!

Keeping school dances a clean and safe place for all students.
School dances should be a place to have fun, socialize with friends, and celebrate a special occasion of the school year. At MicDrop Productions, we believe that school dances should be kept at a PG-13 age appropriate level, and not an adult night club. Specific boundaries are recommended for how students are permitted to dance with each other. Adult chaperones are requested to monitor all dance areas. Read more on our blog
We reserve the right not to play songs with explicit or mature lyrics.
A lot of guys don't feel comfortable dancing and moving to the beat. They also may not be ready for close-up dancing with girls. This YouTube channel helps empower guys to feel more at ease at the dance.
They Call That Dancing?

"This was the best homecoming dance I've seen in the 23 years I've been the principal."

Why I DJ at school dancesSchool dances are a rewarding place to work. Students are lively, fun, and need an outlet for their energy and school spirit. They need adults that know where to draw boundaries and many DJs just go along with explicit lyrics and dancing. I try to go with the most appropriate way that's fun and social.
My experience in schools has been fairly extensive. I had been a substitute teacher for 3 years, a school bus driver (while in grad school), and a full-time youth pastor for several years. In more recent years, I have volunteered in schools for five years as a mentor (Children's Mentoring Connection in Findlay) and 8 years/seasons as a coach and DJ for all local Upward Sports game days at Findlay First Church of the Nazarene. |
Frequently Asked Questions
"I am really just in the very beginning planning stages of our prom. As of right now we only have a tentative date. I was hoping I could get information on your services." We send you more info via the immediate email automated back to you when you sent us your info. Also, our policies and procedures are listed at www.micdropDJ.com/policies.
"How long do you typically DJ for a school dance?" Typically 3 hours plus some pre-event music for 30 mins or more.
"What do you charge?" We send a price quote with the first automated email sent. Select the Event DJ package option. School dance quotes would be $600, but that can change based on options you select.
"Can we depend on a DJ to keep things entertaining and running smoothly?" That's always our goal and that's why our company exists. The music and lights are the main form of entertainment, but our MC skills definitely help. Let us know what is entertaining for your group. We believe the DJ/MC should engage the crowd, but not be controlled by constant on-site song-requests.
"Are we allowed to provide a list of songs we would like to be played and ask that nothing else be played?" Possibly, but if the dance floor dies based on songs you have selected, we cannot be held responsible for keeping things entertaining. So we would recommend we discuss your list in advance, and possibly include some student leaders in the conversation as well. Some high-school events that we perform, we play only what we have prepared ourselves, and it goes very well.
