Props and Costumes

The art of wearing Costumes

One of the easiest way to enhance your party and make you more distinctive is to wear costumes and use props. However,  you must be careful in the way you use your costumes. Ask yourself this very important question:  Will the crowd understand why I am wearing this costume?  You may have good intentions, but wearing a mask or  using a prop that just doesn't fit can confuse people and make them feel uncomfortable.

By choosing your costumes carefully, people will remember you at the talented and Lively DJ who knows how to add more FUN to a party.  You can easily see how this can get you more future bookings.

Song related costumes and Props

Here are some examples of matching the costume with the song or artist.

1. Tequila - Perfect for a blow up Sax
2. A pair of nerd glasses or sunglasses with lenses popped out and a blow up guitar can transform you into Buddy Holly.
3. Put a headband on and a denim vest and you’ll be recognized at The Boss Bruce Springsteen.

These are the types of props and costumes that make the music you play more exciting. People will respond because they will understand how they fit with the song. For example: you can use a fruit and banana hat and lyp sync and dance to Day-O with it on.

Conga Line:  Wear a sombrero and carry maracas with you as you lead the line. You lead the line around the room. People will see that you and everyone else on the line are having so much fun, they will want to get up and join you. You are also asserting your leadership abilities by wearing the sombrero. While you go to cue up the next activity, let a guest wear the sombrero and become the leader. When the song ends, thank the person by giving them the sombrero as a momento if you want. It won't cost you a lot to add a special touch that will be remembered!

Chicken Dance:  A chicken mask, a beak, chicken feet, or any other poultry related items will make the chicken dance more exciting and humorous. You can toss a rubber chicken into a circle of people to announce the Chicken Dance.  People will remember the flying chicken and the Disc Jockey who threw it!

In closing, costumes can generate a ton of excitement at your party while making it more enjoyable for you. The more fun you are having, the more fun your guests will have. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on costumes or props. But remember you need to spend a little, to make a LOT of money!
