Dj?
 

I was recently a volunteer at the Niles District FRC event. I got to meet the dj for the event and learn about the job. How can you become a dj for an event? Do you have to be over 18? Do you have to be ceritifed in music production or something? I think it would be a fun job to do for a day and then let someone be the dj for Saturday (I'm an Adventist).

FIM's DJs are a mix of volunteers and paid professionals. I would contact one of the event coordinators (contact information here: http://www.firstinmichigan.org/FRC_2...12_season.html) to see if they'd be willing to let you shadow their DJ(s) until you've learned enough that you can do it yourself.

Best of luck! :)

And of course, there's my (desperately needed to be updated) whitepaper on Chief Delphi that you can look at. I DJed the Kettering regional for a number of years, just cuz I loved FIRST music & had access to Kettering's radio station.

Thank you!

Not entirely related, but just because you ask/are on first name basis with/are a DJ, it doesn't mean that he/she will play a song/genre for you. Those DJ's are under a tight leash as to what they can play, and unfortunately will not play music from a genre for teams.

Just saying :D
