Music
Your choice of the music provider at
the prom can make or break the evening.
Your choices include a live band, a sound system, a sound
system with a light show, and even a Karaoke system.
Live Band
Live Bands are making
somewhat of a comeback. Before the advent of the sound system and
the record hops of the sixties, live bands were the only way to go for a
dance or a prom. For about the past twenty years, the sound systems
have held most of the dance and prom market. Recently, some schools
have used live bands for their events. The live band tends to be on
the expensive side and, though many bands do very long sets, they do have
to take some breaks through out the evening. If you are interested
in a live band, contact a local booking agent who will have tapes of the
band and visit the band at one of the places that they are to perform and
listen to their show. Find out exactly what they charge and how long
they will perform. Most bands have a standard contract that spells
out these details.
Sound System
The Standard Sound System is the least expensive route to
go. When selecting a sound system provider, you want to be
able to meet with the DJ who will be hosting your event. Make
sure that they have all of the music that you want to hear and make sure
that the DJ can work with your crowd. As in all choices in music
providers, visit an event, that is similar to yours, that they are
providing the music to be sure that they perform as you are expecting.
The sound system representative will provide you with dates and places,
this is a normal practice. They also use a standard contract
that will spell out all of the details of time and money.
Sound System With
Light Show
The Sound System with a Light Show is usually a bit more
expensive than a regular sound system. These systems can vary quite
a bit and have to be seen and heard to appreciate their total impact.
Make sure that they have all of the music that you want to hear and make
sure that the DJ can work with your crowd. As in all choices in

Karaoke
This option can be very interesting. Many Karaoke
providers can do anything that a standard sound system can do with the
addition of the Karaoke option. This may add a little more fun
to the evening. Make sure that the company has all of the music that
you want to hear and make sure that the DJ can work with your crowd.

No matter what your choice of options for music, plan
ahead, check them out, and make sure that your committee is comfortable
with your choice.
