Just got back playing a 6th Grade mixer/open gym. It was held at the same place as last time (4 court gym). The dancing was basically on the first 2 courts, with the second two for basketball. My friend helped me out like last time (which is a huge help). In the beginning it was all basketball but after 10 minutes most were dancing, and stayed dancing most of the time. I tried to play songs that weren't too mature for 6th grade. Since the whole gym wasn't full of kids, my equipment did great.
I picked up the second sub during the Black Friday sale and this was the first gig using both. Really banged me up behind the table. I got to walk around the gym at times, and the coverage of the tops was amazing! Never clipped at all, no red light. Subs were running close to limiting, but were not (no red light). The sound was able to be heard all around the gym, including the bass. But when you got to the dance floor you got to actually feel the bass. Lights did ok, they're not a huge part of the dance because half the lights are on anyway (on the other two courts) but they hit the dancers very well. I asked about using fog, and contacted maintenance, but I got a no. No technical issues (knock on wood) and sound sounded amazing. I had to walk out from behind the table at times to make sure, because it was so loud behind me that it sounded messed up, but it wasn't.
