The Disco
Our school discos come as a complete entertainment package, designed specifically for children of primary school age.
DJ Gary Carter provides an exciting mix of great music, fun packed games and a great disco light show.
Our disco equipment setup for schools is very flexible. This ensures we supply a suitably sized show for your hall or venue.
If you have any special requirements please let us know when you place your booking.
Music
We play a variety of great music appropriate for the age group of the school children in attendance.
We include the best chart and ‘trendy’ music popular at the time, mixed with a good selection of party favourites to keep the school disco in full swing.
We’re happy to accept music requests from the children and teachers at the disco. If you wish you’re welcome to send a playlist prior to the event which can include music relevant to school productions or other activities.
Based in Exeter we cover:
Cornwall • Devon • Dorset • Somerset • Wiltshire

LIGHTING & EFFECTS
- A range of disco lighting effects
Computer controlled to create a synchronised show - Strobe lighting*
Disco favourite for children - LED lighting
Alternative to beam effects for when smoke machines cannot be used - 3D colour pattern laser*
A mesmerising effect kids and adults love! - Smoke machine*
A smoke machine is required to really make the light show look fantastic, without a little smoke you will not be able to see the beams of light in the air.

Simply leave the entertaining to us! Teachers and parents can sit back, relax and enjoy the disco too.
We don’t just play music, we supply and organise all the games too.

These include group games, stage games, singing and dancing.

Experience
Over 25 years entertaining in schools.
Experience and confidence are both vitally important to provide a successful school disco.
A balance of interesting activities and a strong interaction between the DJ and the children allows for a fun party, but also brings a level of control.
Over the years we have fine tuned our school discos to provide such a balance.
Performance Times
We can perform for the whole school at once which is fine for small schools. However, it is better to split larger schools into 2 or even 3 separate discos, usually one for each age group.
Example:
- Key Stage 1 – 6.00pm to 7.00pm
- Key Stage 2 – 7.15pm to 8.30pm
In this example there is a short gap between discos to allow time for KS1 to leave and KS2 to arrive.
This makes the event more manageable and enables our DJ to target the music, games & competitions to the appropriate age groups making it more enjoyable for the children.
For children of primary school age we recommend that any individual disco should last no longer than 2 hours. For multiple discos we recommend each group to have between 1 and 1½ hours.
Optional Extras
By far the most popular optional extra is our snow machine. Once you have experienced it you’ll see why!
If you have any other ideas you’d like us to incorporate into your school disco let us know I’m sure we’ll be able to help.
