DJing the California FFA State Convention
Of all the Ontario DJs out there, the Future Farmers of America chose DJ Track Star Staci to spin at their state convention at the Ontario Convention Center on 3-16 and 3-17, 2023. The following write-up is based on Ontario DJ Track Star Staci’s outline for this Ontario Convention Center event.
THE MUSIC RECIPE AT THE ONTARIO CONVENTION CENTER
While southern California corporate DJ Track Star Staci offers clients pre-curated playlists to choose from, the FFA opted for half country + half current teen faves and hits from Latin to hip hop to pop for their Ontario Convention Center event.
- Theme/Attire ➔ Country business casual
- Meals ➔ Food trucks on Friday
- How Many Guests ➔ 6,000 high school students aged 15-18 year with a handful of their adult advisors
- Swearing in music ➔ clean
