Prom night is often the highlight of a teenager’s social calendar, with many of them looking forward to the event for years in advance. It’s hardly surprising this event creates so much hype when movies portray it as such a fun experience!
If you’re looking to book entertainment for your school prom, there are two main choices you have to choose from – a live Band or a DJ. Both will create an awesome vibe and keep everyone on the dance floor. What you should try to avoid is a playlist. Why? Live music will create an unbeatable atmosphere and create lasting memories that are just so much harder to achieve when you don’t have musicians on hand to read the room and change up the music as necessary to keep spirits high.
