Come on, you gotta play what people wanna hear.

Fall for you by secondhand serenade

All the best

[ikilledkenny!]

hey if ur not prepared for the gig, i suggest u backout in advance
1 week to learn and perfect a whole setlist isnt enough
concentrate on ur studies first.. music can come later..

High school never ends - Bowling For Soup
Stand By Me - Oasis
Wonderwall - Oasis
Supersonic - Oasis
Letters To You - Finch
Time Of Your Life - Green Day
With Me - Sum41
Until The Day I Die - Story Of The Year
The Last Song - The All American Rejects

These types of songs will definitely rock ur fellow schmates!
They would sing along and enjoy. all the best for ur band.

Champagne Supernova - Oasis

The best song you can ever play for a prom night. And please, don't play what the listeners want to listen to. Play what your heart tells you to. Even if it's metal. Go on!

Oh, I forgot. Open Your Eyes or In Loving Memory by Alter Bridge will be cool too.

Sorry man, although I do like the song Empty, I won't play them for prom night.

 

[halfastepdown]

Haha, too noob for you?

Hmmm, metal on a prom night just won't fit IMO. And what a tight schedule, really hope you guys do well on that night! Make sure you get a decent recording and share it with us!

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

Don't play metal during prom, you'll walk off the stage feeling shitty because you're playing to the wrong crowd. 90% of them think it's utter bullshit noise, you sure you wanna play metal to such a crowd?

 

[mrforum]

Spandau Ballet- True

best song for couples dance =D

 

[kirk101!]

dude play what your heart sings. if you feel like playing metal then you better be playing smth from here.

the idea is to go with the crowd. cater for the mass.
eh take some pics lei then post here or smth. make this thread or lively or smth ah. haha.

 

[theunknown]

yeah, metal what metal....even a metalhead should perform according to situation. if not, dont play at all. play metal elsewhere but NOT prom.

wonderful tonight -eric clapton
never say goodnight - bon jovi
last song - secondhand serenade
fall for you - secondhand serenade(chicks dig this, i see)

 

[daryl]

play the classic stuff people have recommended here. love songs are good. please, if you're playing for prom, don't ruin it. unless the people are all pricks.

my personal rec:

sleepwalking - modest mouse version
soco amaretto lime - brand new

 

[funktastic]

you want a memorable performance. play whatever has been a hit for the past 3weeks or so?
anything thats in the charts and you'll be remembered. and you can play a metal song somewhere in there for fun. i think adding a touch of metal won't do any harm.

wahh. i oso want to perform for my school's prom
but i keep thinking. how to practice and learn all the songs in time without screwing up my O's?

 

[BleedsNoMore]

here's some suggestions..

For some fast and upbeat number,
Save the last dance by Michael Buble
Youth By Goldfinger

For some slow number,
You mean everything to me by Neil Sedaka
and to top everything of, let the music take control, play Europa by Santana..

Awesome possum!!

 

[zhaf93]

dance dance by fallout boy.
haha

agreed. Most Singaporeans are not worth entertaining, and your job as a musician is to entertain. The thought of the people in my school, just makes me sick... Right wolf? I bet you loved seejaysee though. Those three letters together conjure up a very unique sense of revulsion in me though.

 

[oahnuj]

lol i having my prom too....but i would rather enjoy this wonderful last moment mingling with my friends, erm grinding each other( just kidding), than going upstage and perform..
For my prom, we need pay, so yea it does not make sense for me to pay so much and not make full use of it

but if you wanna play, hmm i recommend that thing you do. lol sure everyone know de, though its abit old...lol

But i think you should seriously concentrate on ur Os..dun let this thing distract you.
your Os are still much more important.

 

[JustADrummer]

Thanks guys.

WOW. I'm surprised by the number of post replies i've got. Thanks guys.

Oh, and i love you hydrofly. We share similar views. Actually, its only me in the band that likes metal. I always wanted to tell the crowd that we're doing some britney spears stuff, then rip off some really heavy santanic shit.

Anyways, my band mates have already decided the songs. Its, Memory by sugarcult, Whoa Oh by Forever the sickest kids, Umbrella by All time low. I'm not sure if i can do Whoa oh though, the drums kinda hard for me to learn. :-(

I will surely consider the songs that you all have told me, especially the That Thing You Do. Very nice song. Then will see if the tracklist needs to be changed. And i'll post pics and perhaps vid up(although i have no idea how to).

I'm paying for my prom also, 25 lovelovelovelovelovelovelove bucks ! In the school hall only ! My school's Presbyterian High. PM me if you guys know(or think you know) me in any way.

You guys can keep this thread alive by discussing anything or experiences that may have got to do with prom, i don't mind. Glad to have known this forum. Have a nice day people.
