Music for a Sweet 15 Celebration
A Quinceanera is a celebration of a young girl’s fifteenth birthday. Many Latin American girls celebrate this event with a big fiesta that rivals the other parties that they celebrated for her previous birthdays. This is a party that marks the young girl’s shift from a child to an adult.
Some families celebrate the occasion as you would a grand wedding. Others prefer the more traditional ways. You can have a simple or elegant Quinceanera depending on your traditions.
There are various Quinceanera’s dances but the main focus of this dance celebration is the celebrant’s first ever dance. Initiated by a pair dance with her father, the celebrant is then introduced to the crowd with the beat of a beautiful waltz. During the pair’s dance, young boys are also lined up waiting for their next dance with the celebrant.
Music is an important aspect of the occasion. You will want to hire a live band to play through the whole night. When the traditional waltz is fulfilled, the band can play more modern music for the younger crowd.
It’s thus important that the family carefully choose the band. Remember that choosing a band is also a great way to deal with music and live music for celebrations like this. It can also lend a semblance of formality to the Quinceneara if you wish to have this kind of ambience.
Make sure you ask questions and communicate your plans to the band. Playing advanced or the latest fad music can be a real challenge for the band. Some bands have their limitations for this type of music. It is a good idea to have pre-programmed songs and dances.
Another consideration is hiring a DJ to play more modern music. Understand that the party is all about the young girl’s introduction to society as an adult. The percentage of younger people is higher. Therefore, a choice for most Quinceanera celebrations is a DJ who can play newer types of music. Since the Quinceanera can sometimes be a long celebration, having a professional DJ to help maintain the smooth flow of events is a great help.
Music is an important part of a Quinceanera celebration. Depending on your needs and preference, it will make your choice easier for hiring a DJ. To create balance you can hire both a live band and a DJ. To avoid any confusion decide who will play first.
Prepare a list of songs you would like to be played. Work out a detailed program along with the sequence and timing of the music. Make sure everyone is in sync by discussing all details with the band and/ or DJ. So there won’t be any mishaps.
