School Dance DJ App
QR Song Requests, Full Queue Control, and a Moderated Photo Wall
DJ Request is built for school dance DJs who need organized song requests and a photo wall students actually use — without losing set control.
Why DJs Use DJ Request at School Dances
QR Requests in Seconds
Students scan one QR code at the entrance or on venue screens. No app download. Works on every phone in the room instantly.
Full DJ Queue Control
Accept or reject every request. You decide what plays — students feel heard, but you maintain complete set control throughout the night.
Moderated Photo Wall
Students upload photos via QR. You approve each one before it appears on screens. No inappropriate content reaches the display — you're always in control.
No App Download Needed
Students use their phone camera to scan and submit. No signup, no app store. The faster the friction, the more engagement you get from the crowd.
