PolarSounds' Approach to School Dances.
At PolarSounds, we hold the belief that students want, expect, and demand quality entertainment. When schools do not provide quality entertainment, students will go elsewhere to be entertained.
How does PolarSounds define "Quality Entertainment"?
The music must be relevant to the students while being acceptable to staff, faculty, and administratorks. Audio equipment must be able to provide a full, rich sound throughout the room. Lighting equipment should provide varying "looks" throughout the night to prevent stagnation.
How is "Quality Entertainment" achieved?
PolarSounds subscribes to one of the nation's leading music services, which provide current radio edits to disc jockeys nationwide. This ensures that our music collection is both contemporary and clean.
We also use touring-grade QSC amplifiers and EAW speakers. Few mobile disc jockeys use this grade of equipment, due to the expense involved, but it allows us to provide several thousand watts of very clean, very full sound while using about the same amount of electricity as a household dishwasher.
Our lighting system couples intelligent (computer-programmed) fixtures from Martin Lighting and water-based haze generation from LeMaitre Special Effects. The use of intelligent fixtures allows PolarSounds to provide a highly varied lightshow with a minimum of fixtures, while the water-based hazer gives shape to the beams without the stinging and choking often associated with a standard, oil-based fog machine.
PolarSounds' owner Eric Caldwell performed at his first school dance in 1986 and has provided entertainment for student groups across the country, including seven Division I colleges.
Free consultations are also offered as part of our school package and can include discussion on appropriate music, the role of chaperones in a successful school dance program, and what your disc jockey can and cannot be expected to control.
