Don't play any trance. Your going to ruin the night for the majority of people, and everyones going to hate you
Like someone said before you have to know your crowd, so unless they're all tranceaddicts, playing trance is a very bad idea.

PROM IS TEH SUCKS
the crowd blows too
it's all hyped up beyond any reasonable reason
that's why i'm not going (even though it happens only once in a lifetime... so freaking what? it doesn't mean crap to me)
sorry, it's just that my female 'friends' have been bothering me too much about this stuff lately

Play "The Horrorist - one night in new york city"
This will definitely sum the whole night up

Coldplay - Clocks (Heaven and Earth Divided Mix) and Andain - Beautiful Things would be good prom songs.
Maybe Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (Sander Kleinenberg's Just in the Club Mix)
If you only you could get your hands on them...
Anything you could play will have to be pretty borderline genre wise.

from my knowledge of trendy mtv music you should play
any eminem song you heard on the radio
any 50 cent song you heard on the radio
good charlette - the anthem <-wtf, don't they realize punk or whatever is as trendy as rap/pop

hmm well see, i really wanna be a school dj one of these days, but its gonna be impossible, since its tough to get a crowd response from trance, unless its super energetic (ie infected mushroom or something)
but for prom, dont even try to experiment, just stick with pop and stuff...examples:
cry me a river
avril lavigne stuff
50 cent
ja rule
OH yeah, the new deep dish mix of p diddy might work, if you can find it somewhere

As for poppy stuff:
Gabriel & Dresden- Acid Elliot
Filter- Take My Picture (Hybrid Remix)
@ my prom the DJ started out with trance in the begining (like all through the dinner portion) to keep people calm while they eat but start to give them i beat. played stuff like "Chicane Feat. Bryan Adams - Dont Give Up" and built up from there to get people on the floor. before i knew it people were comming to me to find out what song he was playing cause they actually liked it.
so its worth a try to start the night with some trance and if the crowd isnt feeling it switch to the mainstream stuff. ultimatly its your call.

I was thinking of requesting some trance tunes at my prom... i still dunno whether i should do it or not. may 30th is the day. I was thinking of requesting some trip hop... instead of trance, which might be inappropriate, depending on how the dj meshes it with the rest of the night... but yea.. thx for bringing up the topic..
