Appreciate the transparency. School's are cheap I know but you're definitely underpaid for what you're delivering - especially to 1,500 kids. That means each kid is paying about $1.50 for the DJ. All anyone has to do is watch that video to see how much more you're worth!
Appreciate you saying that! Maybe I raise my price for school dances !! to be honest I’m just happy to be out there helping them have fun and make memories.
It's 3:43 in the morning and I'm literally going to lose sleep over this.
WHATTT!!!???
THAT SCHOOL NEEDS TO NAME THE FOOTBALL FIELD AFTER YOU OR SOMETHING!!
I'm a very balanced and measured person, I just can't get over this. I'm in a state of continual shock.
every DJ should give you at least five bucks for this one
Yooooo thank you so much, just seeing this! I appreciate that, and wow my first super chat! 🤩
ur not going to be able to sleep for a while after this DJ performance High!!! Excellent!
Yo, I know exactly what you’re talking about, and you are 100% correct
Bro Rockstar status, king of proms!!!!! hands down Geezus the bass guitar for the win!!!!! the best is when every song drops you get the ohhhhhh, those are the best!!!
Hey thank you so much!!!! I just hope they have a great time and make some memories :) I also love the Ohhhh’s !!!
Bro, these kids were moshing to wake up in the sky. That's supposed to be a chill song lol. They are so hype. Hats off to you and the crowd.
Right?! Love the energy from this group
Wow!!! you had these kids losing their minds; jumpin 'all night!! You had me jammin' over here too!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey thanks that’s awesome! 😊😊
That school got a bargain, should be at least 3 to $5 per kid
I can't believe you did all that work for $1,000 profit. You had to have at least 30 hours into that.
I will say that looked like an amazing group of kids, dancing and singing the whole night. If I was going to do a ton of work for not a lot of money I'd want to do it for a crowd like that.
Honestly though, 2300? My mind is freaking blown. I'm in shock, I just can't get over that.
God bless you sir, that is a lot of work.....
2300????!!!!! 🤯
Thanks! Appreciate the kindness... clearly need to change my pricing :D. But I love giving them some memories - that's part of my payment lol
Dude, you playing "7 Nation Army" live was sick! The shot at 26:40 Crazy!
Hey, thanks brother
That's a massive prom. I mean holy CRAP. By far the biggest I've ever seen. To the point where I'm shocked they allow it because even from a safety perspective...that's WILD.
I'm going to echo - you're WAY underpaid for that one. We have one this weekend that is maybe 600 kids and that's a $5k prom. You won't get any pushback. That school is making a TON of money on that.
CRUSHED ITTT!!!
Yes it was so huge! Thank you and I appreciate that about the pricing - I’ve heard that now a few times. I’m happy making what I do, because I’m having such a great time with that school, but I may think about upping prices for the next school year 🤔
WOW!! What an event!! 1500 kids and you had the kids rocking all night!! You helped create an unforgettable moment and core memory for them that they'll never forget. Also, what a reaction when you pulled out the bass guitar and rocked out in front of the crowd! I'm sure you felt like a rockstar too 👏👏 Incredible gig log and im looking forward to more
Really appreciate your comment! I did try hard to create some memories for these highschoolers, I know that these kind of milestone moments like prom only come around once and deserve to be as epic as possible! I did feel like a rockstar, ha ha. It was a little corny, but I think it worked as planned to get them hyped and take the to the next level.
@@SmilestonesDJAdventures yess absolutely and you definitely created some amazing memories for them! Once in a lifetime ones! The guitar definitely worked - you knew the crowd and what would get them going incredible job 👏🏼👏🏼
I only watched half of this and that prom was off the chain! No wonder they need a fan - those kids never sat down. Nice to be young and have all that energy🎉🎉🎉
You did a great job DJ and you had the type of crowd to support your efforts👋👋
Hey, thanks so much! That means a lot. I’m really excited that I was able to help them have a great experience, that’s always my goal and this one went really well I think.
That was incredible. You rocked that prom and everyone was definitely having a good time.
Appreciate that, bro! It was a blast
That was insane brother, loved the guitar solo. You rocked that place out man! Wow!🎉🎉
Hey, thanks! It was so much fun
First time watching you. I subscribed to your channel. You crushed that prom. It was great to see the kids engaged with the music instead of their phones:) keep up the great work!
Thank uuu!!
Sick system! You have a positive vibe too! Props!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing setup , nice music select, happy crowd
Awesome Job. Thanks for sharing
this man is a legend🗣
Hey thank you!
This was amazing…you’re always so humble…love your gig logs.
ah thanks!!
great job, you deff rocked it!
Thank u!!
You’re a beast! Really nice energy!
Yo thanks!
You need to definatley charge more. I would say x2 at least.
Great gig log
Killer job! The lighting would have looked a lot better if the venue would have dimmed those chandeliers a bit more (not your fault). You def deserve $5k-$10k for that gig…that’s a ton of kids tickets had to be $10-$15 bucks at least maybe more. Raise your rates next year guarantee they will book you again for $3k. I didn’t know what to expect when i clicked your video but I know a good DJ when I see one…And the guitar riff really brought the atmosphere to life. Well done 👏🏼
Hey thanks so much for that!
The lighting is always a thing with this school… the admins make us keep them up. But I just push through and try to make it fun for them
Love your perspective on pricing - I know I was under priced but didn’t know how much! 😖
As usual you nailed it, excellent job! There must have been a lot of censored rap songs in there! Haha drives me up the wall having to deal with clean edits as most of these rap artist don’t make clean versions, I don’t do the subscription model on anything out of principle so I don’t do record pools, think of making my own edits in audacity but it’s a pain in the butt.
Hey, thanks! Yep, that’s part of it. Especially for schools… I try to play clean as best I can. Although sometimes stuff slips through the cracks.🤷
So amazing DJ show !
🙏🏻
Totally off the wall. Great job!! I so appreciate you posting the platlist. Hard to know what some of the songs were as there was a lot of good screaming going on!!! Thanks!!!
Hey sure thing! :)
Nice job!! Awesome watch
Hey thanks !!
Ive seen a lot and that was the best. excelent 5 stars
Thanks!!
nice bass playing
Thanks! I'm not that good but thought this would hype them up!
Nice!
First smilstone no 1 Mr selector on the street
That's a lot of time, talent, and prep. Charge more.
That guitar solo freaking worked! Bro that was a great gig. Place was huge but the crowd filled it the entire time. Great kids too. In my area they’re a little too ratchet and urban af.
Ah man thank you. Yeah they’re really great students
just got some single 18 jbl mrx subs, 2 more days and i’ll be home and i can’t wait to test them! this made me impatient seeing the double 18’s
Now that was a PARTY
:) It really was a rager of a prom!
Okay I thought they looked like them but I didn’t understand what you said when you went through the setup. Great gig log man
Appreciate that!
Wow. What a good job you did!!! Being a DJ myself, I was surprised by the number of speakers you took, I would have taken double what you took, but It seems to have been enough. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks! And appreciate what you said. I *think* the sound was appropriate for the room / group, and the word from the admin and students was that it was good. I try to keep the sound clean / not overdriven, but still LOUD. Especially on the center of the dance floor. If you’re at one of the tables on the side of this large rectangle room, I aimed to let you hear the music but also be able to talk with your friends. Some of the students told me they appreciate that.
In terms of speakers I had three Jbl SRX 15’s (each 2000W each), crossed over at 100hz with the subs - two rcf 8003 asii’s (2200W each) plus two dual 18” Turbosound cabinets (total for the 2 cabinets: 6500W).
Plus two side fill jbl eon 15”s.
@@SmilestonesDJAdventures Wonderful job. And eventhough you mention room for improvenment in your mixing, you created an unforgettable memory for those Kids. Kudos!!
@@KARMADJMEXICO thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻
SHEEEESH holy amount of kids! Thats crazy! You ever consider renting line arrays for that gig? Amazing job
Thanks bro. Might be something to consider.
Love your gig logs!
which weekend the hills remix was that? it was sick!
Amazing work man - what fog gun is that you’re using??? That thing could put out a house fire lol
Thank u!! It’s a clubcannon… hahaha you’re right!!
Great job! Only negative (not really) is you should have had rockville totems together already, you had tons of room. I would build roadcase for Danny max booth. When you played the bass... EPIC!!!
Good ideas
Yeah thanks!
What stands are the wash lights on? Nice set up 👏🏽
This is so awesome! One question, what version of Yeah! did you play with the dramatic intro? Any chance you can tell me the file name so I can search for it??
Bella festa di fine anno.Ottumo dj set ed epico momento con la chiitarra sulle note di seven nation army.Le volevo chiederle,se pet lei non e'un problema,la playlist dei brani ha suonato in questo evento.La ringrazio.Bel lavoro,fatto bene,davvero.TOP
Thanks! Check the video description for the playlist :)
Great video! One question I have is what mic stand are you using?
Thanks! My DJ booth is from Danny Max. It’s called an Infiniti L, and the mic stand is an add on accessory that mounts inside the DJ furniture.
Rocked the heck out of that prom! Im glad the gig logs are back! Is there any chance you can share the tracklist?
Bro thank you! Just shared a link to the history (playlist) in the video description for ya
@@SmilestonesDJAdventures I appreciate it brother! Keep on stunning the crowds. That guitar definitely raised the bar! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
(36:26) 💥 Yeah!!! 🎉 😅
Man that club cannon was a good buy :)
@@SmilestonesDJAdventures I just watch your whole video. Good job. Thanks for sharing and I’m gonna check out your tracklist for sure. 👍
What lights are you using? They look great
Thanks !! I talked thru them in the video.
Wish that the admin. would let us turn off or down the lights in the room for a more vibrant effect from my light show but they have a rule against dark dance rooms, for safety
Great Job! Do you ask for a playlist?
Thanks!!
Yep- I get students to fill out a Google form for requests beforehand. Helps identify the local / school specific bangers.

@SmilestonesDJAdventures
Thats fantastic! You are amazing 👏 🔥
Cheers for the video will check it out 😎
Next time when you are at the end of Olivia Rodrigo's Vampire you could try The Tamperer with Feel It or If You Buy This Record.
Feel It should be the better fit.
Not sure that those tracks wouldve worked with this group at that time in the dance. I'm very keen to play popular, mass appeal tracks for my audience at these peak times. Music programming is king ;)
What are the stands you are using for the wash fx?
Hey Tommy - I mention it in the video! Gravity stands
What made you include Lungi Dance in your set? Just curious.
So this school has a good sized Indian population. I love to try to include everyone, and lungi dance is an absolute banger.
@@SmilestonesDJAdventures Indeed it is! It was nicely mixed in the set.
Bro that guitar solo was 🔥
What was the name of that slow song you played? It sounded like Ed Sheeran??
Thanks! Yes it was Perfect
I put a link to my playlist/history of what I played in the description in case that helps
No not perfect. I know that one silly! It almost sounded like a waltz! I guess I gotta watch your video again!
19:12
Think it’s beatles
Nevermind it’s Stephen Sanchez
The only thing I don't hear is the music😅.
😅
Did the girl in front @ 17:43 check to see if she was on her period???? wow .... BTW. nice set-up
