First gig ever

[hoochi]

Hi dj's! I just started spinning (for the last couple months) and I have my first gig at a private event next week. I'm so excited and nervous but would appreciate any pro tips.

Thanks in advance!

Congrats hoochi! You're going to have such a great time!

Remember, to be ready is to be prepared. I would stand at your setup and contemplate what you would do if various components went out. If power goes out, there are bigger problems, but handling everything else is what people expect. The show must go on...

Good luck and please report back to DJF how it went!

Sooooo....? How'd it go???

First was Friday October 13, 1978 and was a backyard 21st birthday party for a co-worker of my partner at the time. Second gig was a Halloween dance/party in a big barn - played Friday and Saturday night, October 27-28.

Like KLH recommended - PREPARATION.

Good grief, I just looked and see this is a zombie thread.

Yeah, I guess it is.

I wish the OP reported on how it went though.
