Choose the complete event solution—not one disconnected item.

Class reunions need music that unlocks memories and still works for the room today. Blue Ridge Sound plans decade favorites, school traditions, announcements, microphones, media audio, dance-floor sound, and lighting around the graduating class, reunion committee, venue, program, and guest mix.

Build the playlist from the class years and shared memories

Collect the graduation year, school songs, local favorites, prom-era tracks, sports traditions, favorite clubs or concerts, and music connected to class memories. Add current selections that classmates enjoy now, plus required songs, do-not-play choices, and content standards.

Blue Ridge Sound uses the reunion era as an anchor rather than playing one decade without variation. Committee members can submit ideas through one contact. The DJ balances nostalgia, cross-generational guests, and current dance energy while retaining enough flexibility to respond to the room.

Create a schedule that leaves room for reconnecting

Record check-in, cocktail hour, welcome, meal, class recognition, memorial moment, slideshow, awards, stories, school song, group photo, dancing, final announcements, and closing. Not every reunion needs a packed agenda; conversation is often the main reason people attend.

The DJ or emcee can guide attention at planned moments and return quickly to background or dance music. One committee lead should approve timing changes. A practical run of show helps the venue, catering, photography, speakers, and production avoid interrupting important conversations.

Make alumni announcements and stories easy to hear

Confirm the reunion hosts, class officers, teachers, honorees, storytellers, and memorial speakers. Provide exact names, pronunciations, order, speaking positions, and approximate time. A wireless handheld can move between speakers when one person manages delivery and retrieval.

Blue Ridge Sound tests the system from the actual speaking location and manages levels and mutes when staffed. The committee should decide whether remarks are scheduled or open. An unstructured open microphone can extend the program and create content the organizers did not approve.

Test class photos, videos, and memorial media

Yearbook slides, then-and-now photographs, recorded messages, school footage, and memorial videos need final files, an assigned playback computer, cue wording, a local backup, and an audio test. Organize media by run-of-show order rather than searching folders in front of the audience.

Displays, projection, switching, streaming, recording, internet, and presentation advancement are separate unless confirmed. When the venue or committee supplies the picture, identify the operator and audio handoff. Blue Ridge Sound can support the confirmed media-audio connection and transitions.

Design sound for cocktails, dinner, and dancing

Reunion venues often need comfortable conversation early, clear speech during recognition, and stronger music after tables open to the dance floor. Room width, seating depth, reflective surfaces, adjacent guests, dance-floor position, and sound limits guide speaker and subwoofer placement.

Blue Ridge Sound defines the supported areas, DJ and speaker positions, cable routes, power, and access. Volume changes with the event phase. Outdoor or tent reunions also require property boundaries, weather protection, safe power, and a backup plan.

Use lighting to reinforce school identity and the milestone

Static uplighting can support school colors, class branding, a photo wall, or memorabilia display. Dance lighting can add movement after the program concludes. Memorials, speeches, and group photographs may need calm scenes with better visibility and stable color.

Share colors, logos, décor, room images, screens, and photo positions. The proposal defines fixture availability, placement, control, power, and operation. Custom projection, rigging, haze, lasers, and specialty effects require separate venue approval and scope.

Request a class-reunion quote the committee can compare

Provide the school, class year, reunion milestone, date, venue, attendance, guest ages, access hours, agenda, school traditions, music direction, speakers, awards, memorial plans, media, dancing, lighting, power, sound limits, weather backup, billing contact, and authorized committee lead.

Blue Ridge Sound can return a proposal defining DJ and announcement service, speakers, microphones, media audio, lighting, planning, delivery, setup, operation, travel, overtime, and teardown. Clear client-supplied and venue-supplied items make committee approval easier.
