Every request received thereafter will follow the previous request. Once everyone has sang we ll start back at the top and follow the same order. 2) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: How do you fit new singers in the rotation?</B></FONT> A: We usually try to call a new singer to the microphone within the next two songs after we ve received the request. This is because everyone else has sung at least one or more songs already. When you put in your first request you were treated the same. 3) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: What if several new singers put in requests at the same time?</B></FONT> A: We ll organize all the new slips in the order we received them and fit them in the rotation every other song. 4) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Why do you only take one request per person at a time?</B></FONT> A: This is so we can easily organize the rotation and be sure that everyone is only on the microphone one time per rotation. Sing one  bring one. 5) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I already have a solo request in. Can I bring up a duet as well?</B></FONT> A: Unfortunately no. If you were sitting there waiting to sing for a long time, you would not be so happy seeing someone else have two turns before you even had your one turn. 6) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: How do you keep track of the song rotation?</B></FONT> A: The first slip of the night gets set aside and as the people sing, their request goes on top of that. We refer back to that to make our rotation. This will also show how the order went the whole show. 7) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Can I get boosted up in the lineup?</B></FONT> A: Sorry that s not up to the DJ. Each person that has a request before yours must come up to the DJ in person and state that it s ok for you to cut in front of them. 8) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: If I give you $20.00 can I go next?</B></FONT> A: No. We re already getting paid to be here. And to favor you we d have to cheat everyone else. Forget it. 9) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I know you say no more requests but he/she s been singing all night. Can I sing?</B></FONT> A: Sorry no. We always announce,  we are taking last requests . Once those requests are in and we say  No More Requests , it is because we have enough music to fit our schedule. Would you like to be cut out of the lineup to fit someone in that asked the DJ that question? 10) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I ve had my request in for a long time and he/she just got here and they re up there singing already?</B></FONT> A: Please refer to question 2. 11) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I ve been waiting a long time to sing, when is my turn coming up?</B></FONT> A: You will be called in the same rotation as the last time, but remember there may be new singers in the lineup now. If you have a request in you ll never see someone have two turns while your waiting. 12) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Can I have a microphone to join the person singing?</B></FONT> A: It s up to the person singing to tell the DJ it s ok to give you a microphone. That is providing that you have not sang already this round, and if you sang the previous round, that you fit in the correct order this round. We prefer you don t bother a person singing as it puts them on the spot. And you won t be too happy if they tell you no. Please plan your duets in advance. 13) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I came here to sing, why are you playing dance music?</B></FONT> A: Most dance songs are by request. There are people at the show that are not singers and we want everyone to have a great time. Many couples we know have actually met each other at our shows. I myself do not even like dance music, but I m here to please the people, not myself. 14) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Can you put in my request for me?</B></FONT> A: Sorry everyone must fill out his/her own request slip. We always look at our next request slip to call the next singer. We may forget that you even wanted to sing if we don t have your request slip. We won t know where you ll fit in the order for the next round either? (Refer to question 6). 15) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: I can t read or I have bad eyes and cannot see the book.</B></FONT> A: No problem. We ll be more than glad to help if you can t find anyone else to help you. 16) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Why are you outside smoking during my song?</B></FONT> A: The state of Massachusetts has banned smoking in clubs. If you re singing a long song, first we ll tune you in, then chances are we may use the remaining time to step out. Like everyone else, we must smoke outside, but we can still hear you re song from where we are. 17) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: How far away do I hold the microphone?</B></FONT> A: If you are singing quietly sing close. As you get louder, pull the microphone further away. Then go close when you are singing softly again. If you are too loud the DJ will adjust your vocals to match the music. We set the microphone at your "average" level for the whole song. Please do not yell directly into the microphone. It will exceed the equipments peak levels. 18) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: How can I sing more songs at a show?</B></FONT> A: Come to the show early. Most shows start out quietly and you may get a few songs in before the crowd arrives. 19) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Why don t you have a certain song?</B></FONT> A: There is no DJ in the world that is going to have every song that you request. We currently have around 8000 different Karaoke songs. We don t include repeat titles in our book. We only use the closest to the actual radio version of the song. 20) <FONT COLOR="FFCC33"><B>Q: Why can t I swear on the microphone, we re all adults here?</B></FONT> A: Swearing on the microphone sets a bad atmosphere and takes the fun out of the show. Our song books are strictly monitored for swears and anything found too offensive has been removed. The  F word,  N word and some others are not allowed at all on the microphone. </PRE></TD></TR> </TABLE> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="FF0000">&copy;2008 Night Flight Music</FONT> </CENTER> </BODY> </HTML>
