The Carys: My First DJ SET LIST (1992)

Barton/Rogers 5th Quarter Dance - October 29, 1992

Well Well, I was going thru my stuff in the garage last month for a garage sale (sale went excellent btw), and I came across an old box of memorabilia from middle school and high school. In it contained a stress-load-test bridge made of toothpicks that Sam Allen, Kirsten Birkland, Sarah Beth Cameron and I did in 8th grade for Mr Hoover's class (we made an A). I also found love notes and artwork, a few boutonnières from homecomings past and of all things; a folded piece of paper that Read: "Set List."

Immediately, I knew it was from the Barton/Rogers 5th Quarter Dance of '92: My first paying gig as a "DJ" back at St. Paul's UMC. I think I got paid like $50 bucks and split it with Jeremy "Dife" Lovette cause he let me borrow the P.A. (Hey, I was the one with the Music, and before the land of MP3's and Internet, it was a feat to have a good (term used loosely) catalogue of music CD's which in part, were a luxury at the time (1 Cd in tall cardboard box packaging =$19-$21). Most of the songs I played however, I had recorded from the radio.

It was a decent party. I remember being excited to meet the Rogers students (I went to Barton and didn't fraternize with the crowd from across town lol) as I pleaded with the Youth Minister at St. Paul to let me play "Baby Got Back" to no avail. I also didn't make the set list long enough and I didn't hype the crowd, if at all, and I remember running out of music and playing duplicates of some songs which as kids, we didn't care.

After the party, I was told by Karen G. that I did a good job and she liked my shirt. I had the BIGGEST CRUSH EVER ON HER OMG! HAHA!! So embarrassing..

So without further ado, I present to you in order, the Barton/Rogers 5th Quarter Dance SET LIST from October 29, 1992:

1. "It Takes Two" - Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock
