DJ teams
"How can a bunch of people DJ?" I am asked.
It's a good question. I don't think it will be as wild as it sounds.
This weekend, in much the way that people work the front desk, people will work the DJ station. There will be three "active people" per one-hour time slot. They'll be selected randomly from the pool. I'll hang around to give advice at "decision moments".
Person 1: whoever has the steadiest hands (if it's a toss-up, take turns) does the actual playlist manipulation. They drag the tandas & cortinas that the trio agrees upon, down to the playlist. Then every subsequent group will be able to see what's played so far. They can program ahead, but the next trio can make adjustments.
Person 2: controls the volume on the board, and helps decide on which Tandas/Cortinas to choose.
Person 3: makes sure that the trio is paying attention to the crowd, to what they want, to what they can do, to the sound quality, and to the energy in the room.
Others will swing by occasionally, to learn what's playing. Comments & criticisms will be welcome and necessary.
That's the experiment. We'll see how it works.
