    Filling empty dates for December

    I get some of the same parties and the same dates around that time each year. Normally, to keep the biz going I charge slightly more for the same parties each year. However I'm part of a chain biz that gives me gigs basically any free dates that I have.

    What is the price for DJ only?

    Well depending on the number of guests I would say if it's 200 or below, then you should be charging about $300. Then anything more than 200 people charge at least $400.

    Cool YouTube DJ Series

    I want to see this guy try and get out on a mic infront of 1400 teens and try to make them dance and have a good time. This guy doesn't know an XLR cable from a gig box.

    Thriller Dance Steps??

    Starting to DJ at a young age I have found to be quite helpful, it makes getting the experience a lot easier. Plus my name was already out in the Philly market by the time i was 12.

    How Many Carry a Backup Laptop?

    I actually use a direct database screen as back up, like the ones that numark is making now. However the one thing I always do when it comes to backing up my laptop is I carry around 3, 500 gig hard drives with music on it, 1 for my screen database player, and 2 for my laptop, because the odds...

    Prices on your web site..(??)

    Never posted prices on the site, just the package options and details, they can call, e-mail, or fax, to get a quote. The competition in Philly is wayy to tight to be posting prices.

    Not a "price" thread, but a what do you supply for your price thread.

    It's either all or nothing. We have cheap prices when we know we should have cheap prices and we have expensive prices when we know we can get away with charging a lot. But either way we use all our equipment at every event we do. However we only use out 9ft booth at Bar/Bat mitzvahs.

    Props

    At Bar Mitzvahs my company is always using props, blow up guitars, mics, pianos, horns, clarinets, they are all always a huge hit. Other things we always do is hand out props depending on the theme of the party, like we've given out little soccer balls before. And the given hand out/prop that we...

    Price Matters

    Can't agree more dude. My old school used to always complain that I charged to much, so they ended up not using me for one of the dances, they went with a guy that was half the price and they hated him, the guy couldn't DJ for his life! Needless to say I was back for the next dance at full price.

    Speakers for School Dances

    I normally do about 3 school dances a month that are 6-8 graders and about 250 kids. For an event like that I use 2 powered EV woofers, and one powered EV Sub below my table. I've never had use for video at middle school dances, normally I just use a truss full of lights. However I'm doing a...
