Step 1: Embrace the nerves They’re going to happen no matter what you do and channel it into not forgetting things.
Step 2: Do not forget the pieces you need for your setup. Set everything up at home first and have everything running then make a checklist of every item. Bring extra cables for everything if you can.
Step 3: have a Plan B. Have some tracks and music you could play on your phone or a CD just in case something goes wrong.
Step 4: Make sure you eat before
Step 5: Use the bathroom (very important)
Step 6: Get there EARLY. This gives you time to set up and figure out what you did wrong (you WILL forget something)
Focus more on the song selection than the mixing. A bad transition won’t kill you but a bad track can. More than likely you’ll make a bad song choice. Do NOT let it get you down. Stay focused and smile.
DJ Itro should be fine. Don’t change up what’s been working for you so far.
It’s good to have some slower chill tracks for early on to help people warm up since not everyone will show up at the same time. 4 hours=240 minutes Song~3 minutes (may be less depending on how you are mixing) 240/3=80. As Terry said you will need more than that. “Battle plans rarely survive the first encounter with the enemy” so be prepared.
I’m sure you will do great!
