Stop Hosting School Dances Students Want to Leave Early!
Indiana’s Premier School Production & DJ Team
Most school dances are an afterthought—low energy, bad sound, and a playlist that feels five years behind. Lights Out Entertainment is for the schools that want to change that. We don't just "DJ"; we bring a club-level production to your gym or ballroom.
Give Your Students An Experience!
The Lights Out Standard: Who We Work With
We partner exclusively with schools that understand the DJ is the heartbeat of the event. If the entertainment is just a line item on a budget—behind the catering and the streamers—we aren't the right fit.
We don't just 'play music'; we produce a high-energy production. We work with administrators who want to see 90% of their students on the dance floor until the lights come up.
Our Requirements:
Direct Collaboration: We don't work through middlemen who aren't invested. We need a direct line to the student council or event sponsor to ensure the vibe matches the student body.
Production Standards: We provide a club-level experience. This requires specific power and space requirements (don't stick us in a dark corner behind a lunch table).
The "No-Boring" Guarantee: We vet our clients. If your goal is a "quiet background playlist," there are cheaper, less experienced DJs who can help you. If your goal is a packed floor, you call us.
Let's Have A Candid Conversation:
Most school dances fail because the budget is spent on things that don't move the needle.
Students don't remember the napkins; they remember the energy. If you are ready to stop wasting money on 'filler' and start investing in the actual experience, let's talk.
Are We The Right Fit?
We are experience-obsessed. If you are looking for the cheapest bid or prioritize physical 'stuff' like party favors and Amazon-ordered decorations over the actual energy of the room, we aren’t the team for you. We work with schools that want to push boundaries and create an environment where students actually want to stay until the final song.
We are about the moment, not the trash left on the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are your rates different from a standard mobile DJ?
Because we aren't a "mobile DJ" service; we are a production company. A standard DJ brings two speakers and a laptop. We bring club-level concert grade sound reinforcement, concert lighting, and entertainers who actually know how to read a high school or college crowd. You are investing in attendance and student retention, not just background noise.
Do you play "clean" music?
Always. We use professional radio edits. However, "clean" doesn't mean "boring." We maintain the energy and the drop of the track while ensuring the lyrics meet school administration standards.
Can students make requests?
Yes, but with a filter. We provide an online request system for student councils to use before the event. During the dance, we take requests, but our DJs have "veto power." If a song is a "vibe killer," we won't play it. Our job is to keep the floor packed, not to please one person at the expense of the party.
What do you need from the school or event venue?
We require a dedicated power circuit and a "performance footprint" that allows our lighting show to be effective. Most importantly, we require a direct line of communication with the event organizers. If we can't talk to the people planning the dance, we can't guarantee its success.
Will you bid against the "cheapest" DJ in town?
No. If your primary goal is to find the lowest price, we aren't your team. We work with schools that view entertainment as a priority. If you want the "Amazon-decoration" equivalent of a DJ, there are plenty of hobbyists available. If you want a production students will remember, you hire us.
