How To Handle (Fake) Grand Exits

How To Handle (Fake) Grand Exits

Now that the world is starting to reset and events are coming back across the country, I thought I'd jump into some topics that are performance related. Grand Exits have always been the bane of my existence as a wedding DJ. I get the reason why they happen (photo/video op) but talk about an anti-climatic ending. Over the years, there's been a rise in "fake" grand exits which happen typically in the middle of the last dance set. Hate those too. However, I've put a twist on them and now I LOVE fake grand exits. I pitch them in lieu of the real thing. Everyone wins. I'm I share with you my fake grand exit method.
