Questions about music choice

Top 40 tracks that are not more than a few years old are what is generally most appropriate. You will have to make sure that none of the tracks have bad language or unsuitable themes. New is OK, in fact its probably better as the kids will be familiar with the tracks from radio play.

At school dances this is not on. Its not a night club with more advanced musical palates. Its a bunch of kids who want instant gratification from songs they are familiar with. No unknown songs or genres. Nothing but mainstream hits. I would only consider pulling away from the mainstream if its a well known song on the latest MOS Clubbers Guide or similar album but then only if the track is very well known. Don’t be confused about what this gig is.

No worries bud. Think of this gig as a good experience but more of a “bread and butter” set than anything (for lack of a better word) glamorous or club-like.
