FIRST Dj's
 

Hello

I am interested in being the Dj for an event in Michigan during the 2013 season, but I'm not sure how to sign up or anything. I have a copy of the 2012 song list and another document containing instructions on how to be one. I have been the Dj for a few dances and have experience working with audio. Do you have to register as a FIRST volunteer, or do you sign up a different way? Feedback would be really great so please comment if you have helpful info.

Best thing to do would to be contact the person in charge of the district you are wanting to DJ for. Their information can be found at http://www.firstinmichigan.org/contact_us.html. They will be able to direct you in who to contact and how to get it set up, if they have not already made plans for a DJ.

Okay thank you!

You will also likely need to sign up through VIMS. Very similar to TIMS, just the Volunteer section.

Yes I used to VIMS last year to sign up to do AV for the Niles Michigan Regional Event.

See if you can get some experience in the offseason by working some FLL events or anything else. Up in NH, most of the DJing is done by a FIRST alum who doesn't have the time to mentor, but gives back by offering to DJ events. He's got it down to a science at this point.
