What matters most
Plan the arrival cue precisely: silence or low music, then the hit exactly as the guest walks in.
Points to work through
- Assign a lookout to signal the DJ or operator the moment the guest is near.
- Have the reveal track cued and tested so there is no fumbling at the key second.
- Plan what plays immediately after the surprise to carry the energy into the party.
- Keep a backup cue in case the timing slips by a minute or two.
