Sporting Events DJ in Tampa, Florida
I was recently speaking with one of the owners of my Crossfit Gym about providing DJ services for their upcoming Crossfit Event , the Clearwater Beach Brawl (If you’re local to Clearwater, FL and interested in Crossfit Competition, check out the details here! We were discussing the ways in which the DJ has an impact (negative or positive) on a sporting event, as well as the ways a skilled DJ can add value.
I’ve played for a variety of sporting events over the years ranging from Kickball League Tournaments, 5k Races, Gym Events and live Gym Classes, Crossfit Competitions, Tampa Bay Lighting Events, and even a live-televised event with Amsoil ArenaCross.
When it comes to sporting events, there are a few key ways that a skilled DJ can add great value, and an unskilled DJ can make a negative impact on your event. Understanding the role that the DJ plays will help you in screening and selecting the vendor that’s best for you.
1. A skilled Sports DJ Will Help Set The Tone For Your Event. The most obvious impact a DJ has on a sporting event is on the energy of the overall event. Have you ever walked into a room and the energy was automatically somber? Lower energy or depressing music has an immediate impact on mood and energy. Careful song selection to ensure a steady flow of HIGH Energy is more important at a sporting event than at any other event type.
An unskilled DJ with poor song selection (or no DJ and someone’s phone plugged into a speaker) can have a negative impact on everything from the way people remember the event to the way the athletes perform to the amount of time that people stay. The coach I was speaking with (who is also an elite athlete) noted that he doesn’t notice the music when he’s competing because he’s so tuned into what he’s doing. I tend to disagree, because for me personally, bad music in the gym or forgetting my headphones can completely change everything.
Either way, while not noticing may be the case for the person engaging in the sport, the music will absolutely be noticeable to the onlookers who are not, and music that brings down the mood or playing Eye of the Tiger every hour on the hour [I’m told another DJ did that in a previous year’s competition and it’s now a running joke. ] will definitely make an impact.
Added Value: To that end, and really at the other end of the spectrum, a strong skilled sports DJ will be able to keep the energy high, help keep the crowd having fun (even during the down times) and help keep the athletes and the fans pumped up!
