Simon Ross @ his very own Sixth Form Leaving Show (First Ever Live Performance!!!)

simonross46 · #1 21st May 2009, 08:52 PM

Well the day has arrived, tomorrow on the 22nd of May I DJ infront of a live audience for the very first time!

It is our last day together at the Sixth Form before we all go our seperate ways (most to universities) so a show has been organised by the year group which will take place in the morning's assembly. Because it is a morning show, I made sure I was the last to perform so that everyone is hyped up by the previous performances which are done by other people in the year group. I have only got a 20 minute slot, but I plan to fit 5 tracks in there, so there has been a lot of editing!!!

I am full of mixed emotions, part of me is extremely excited yet there are also some nerves. Did some tests on Tuesday evening and all went well which gives me more confidence

What I am most excited about is the way I get to operate in my own sound booth looking down on the audience, and its a huge KAM sound system which sounds really nice. A webcam will also be set-up which will project a video of me in the booth onto the opposite wall for anyone who can't see me! (we have thought of everything!)

It's clear to see the excitement showing through already!!!

There will be lots of photos taken when I perform, and there should be video footage also which I look forward to seeing! I thought I would start this thread now so people are aware, and it won't be long until I can report back to you all!

Simon

Well I am pleased to say it went down a storm! There were no mistakes and I had no nerves at all. I think the fact I was DJ'ing to my friends helped, because as soon as the first song got going and everyone was dancing I felt at ease and just mixed as if I was on my own

I even forgot that photos were being taken I was in the zone that much, not even the flash got my attention!

I will get photos uploaded here soon, along with a download of the set that I played

Good job mate, sounds like you had a blast.
You're damn right that it was your friends that helped. I made sure my mates crowded round the front for my first few live gigs and gradually weaned myself off their company (they made the floor fill up MUCH quicker!). Now, if they turn up, it's an added bonus!
