Some of you asked for the DJ Playlist. This was compiled mostly from the songs you suggested in a survey. We had a LOT of feedback so I apologize if your song didn't make the list. This represents just one example of the attention to detail in planning by the committee for every activity. The following is the list I gave the DJ, I think he was actually pretty close to this. The DJ by the way, isn't normally a DJ, he was Kyle Dent, owner of Shamrock's Pub & Grill in St. Peters, a great guy who supports our community in so many ways, who was doing me a favor. We originally planned to do our own music, tapping into the venue's sound system but it would have required constant attention from one of us (probably me- Gregg Tiemann) which would have made it tough to enjoy the evening, so we opted for some help. We tried to keep the sound at a somewhat reasonable level, but once people start dancing, that becomes harder to control unfortunately.
