    I think standard would be good. Black/white dres shirt, black formal pants and black shoes. Tie’s are depending but i think its better to wear one.

    this along the lines of what I wear. Just make sure you don’t stick out like a sore thumb. If you look sharp, people treat you better too.

    note; that picture is of me running audio (for live performers) at a college formal last weekend. So pretty much the same situation.

    Indeed, try to blend in. Many people will not like DJs if they dress less formal, just because “they can get away with it” and will think badly of you. So I usually dress up for such events (of course even more important at weddings). So dark suit with black or white shirt and a tie. If you like to express some DJ eccentric thing, than only do it with a bling bling watch or a somewhat unusual tie, but do not go over the top there either.
    I usually have my hat on as a marketing thing. (Which is not unlike the one my doggy avatar is wearing, except it is from Nike and its black…)

    Dress Shirt, slacks and an optional tie is more then enough, its not prom its a fraternity formal. Everybody wants to have a good time and honestly could care less.

    Secondary Question: Anyone have 1 or 2 GOOD slow dance songs? In case they’re wanted? I’m used to clubs and don’t have any on my hard drive

    iTunes, Amazon, Juno, Google Play. Shop and get some. Don’t expect people to give you MP3s, that’s not legit.

    Love a bit of James blunt. One of my many guilty pleasures

    Mind you, I only played a few of these when I did a sorrirty semi-formal, but my list of slow songs I had picked out was:

    Total Elipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler
    U got it bad – Usher
    Nice and Slow – Usher
    Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton
    Crazy Love – Michael Buble
    She is love – parachute
    Wanted – Hunter Hayes
    Lucky – Jason Mraz
    Free – Zac Brown Band
    Can you feel the love tonight- Elton john

    If you only need a couple those should work. Read your crowd, see what they’re into, just make sure to bump a banging song right afterwards. I went with a redrum of Taylor Swifts “We are never getting back together”. Make sure if you kill the energy on purpose for some slow songs, that you have the ability to bring it right back up with a banger.
