We played from 9 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 5. The song list is missing and the list of songs to have ready is from the 2001 dance so might have been different in 2000. From the pictures, we can see that we at least played Cha Cha Cha for Judy; La Bamba; Sing, Sing, Sing; and Hot Cha Cha Cha.
The Northern Lights DJ Service played in Poseidon’s domain, Lynn Deichart’s group played in Hades (the room below us), and we played in the Garden at the top of Mt. Olympus (the Great Hall in Severance Hall on the west edge of the campus).
