So, this is my last year as a high school principal. I have been doing the prom thing for 36 years.

So what do you do when the DJ shows up late and then his music equipment doesn't work? You have all the prom goers standing there and no lights, no music, nothing. [Angst]

It has been definite first for me. And a last.

That is so sad-- those poor kids. [Frown]

They felt that way.

I suggested the DJ try to use our PA system and he got something going about 1 1/2 hrs late.

No lights and fancy stuff, but at least some music over the PA.

I am sure they are disappointed.

Don't pay him a dime, and let the other schools know not to use him again.

The young guy in charge feels like whale s*** on the bottom of the ocean. He says the company pres. will call me Monday.

I think that meeting will be about money.

Hey, if you need a recommendation, I can make you a good one. Try contacting Complete Music, they have offices in Manhattan and a bunch of other larger towns. The company pretty much caters to school events, parties, and weddings. (Remember my storm chasing buddy from Omaha? He's one of their DJs.)

Too bad no one had at least boombox at school, or could run home and get one (since you in a small town) and play a few CDs of their own until he got it going.....
