School dj faq
We make it easy for schools to plan unforgettable events while keeping everything clean, professional, and stress-free. Here are answers to the most common questions we get from schools.
Do you only play clean music?
Yes, always. We use radio edit, school appropriate versions of every song. No explicit lyrics, no surprises, and we’re happy to follow school playlist guidelines.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. Gaines Entertainment is fully insured and can provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request. Schools appreciate our professionalism and easy documentation process.
Do you provide your own sound and lighting?
Yes. We bring professional sound systems, microphones, and lighting designed specifically for school events. We scale production to fit gyms, cafeterias, ballrooms, and auditoriums.
Can students help choose the music?
Definitely! We work with Student Council, prom committees, or faculty to create the perfect playlist. Students have fun, and administrators feel confident. We even have a text message song request system in place for large productions.
Do you travel outside San Antonio & Austin?
Yes! We proudly serve San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, Boerne, Round Rock, San Marcos, Schertz, and surrounding Texas areas. If you’re nearby, we’re happy to help.
How far in advance should schools book?
Prom and Homecoming dates fill quickly. Most schools book 3–6 months in advance. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway, we may still have availability.
How much will my event cost?
Pricing depends on the type of event, production level, and size of your school. For larger dances (over 500 students), our minimum investment is $2,000 for Homecoming and $2,500 for Prom. For schools wanting big-production experiences with elevated lighting, effects, staging, and enhanced atmosphere, larger productions start at $5,500 and scale from there.
We've produced Proms in the $40,000 range, and we've rocked smaller events for $2,000. Everyone's needs are different!
Tell us a little about your event and we’ll build the perfect package for your school, your vision, and your budget.
