Hey Keastin,
as the old saying goes "if ya got it flaunt it'
If these guys are that great, and it's within our budget, then cool!
I'm all for a great DJ and have always walked up to them to tip them and tell them they are doing a GREAT JOB!!!

My only concern is if they have the "I dont take requests" kind of DJ, how does that make everybody feel?

May be a problem.
Like I said, with the past DJ i heard pleny of people complain that they came up to them with a request and they either:
A. Didn't know what song they were talking about. B. Didn't have the song C. Just flat out didn't play it.
Part of DJ'ing is reqeusts. If you can schmooze them, perhaps ask them "Hey would you mind if we gave you a list of requests ahead of time?" Then maybe if they have an idea of what people want, they'll play them throughout the night?
Of course, this doesn't stop other people from walking up to them and asking them to play "Ants Marching" by DMB.
Yeah someone asked me to play that in the middle of a dance set. I'll never forget that guy! :/

I kind of prefer that. If we do all this talking here, and the DJ has an idea of the program, then taking requests could really be a monkey-wrench in the works. All it takes is for one knucklehead to request Freebird or Stairway to Heaven or .... IDK .... Bless the Beasts and the Children.

LOL I vote we all put in our favorites of songs to DANCE to in the music thread. Combine them all and use that as a guide to whatever DJ we decide to go with?

Even if it is out of our budget, could we do a tiny donation drive to get them?
