THE IMPORTANT DETAILS
Privacy & your request
Your choices on this device
Your school, grade and song choices are not saved as remembered preferences on this device. You choose your grade each time.
Older optional saved choices are cleared when this page opens; only this app’s old choices are removed. The fundraising reminders do not collect answers or amounts.
The DJ sound machine runs on this page. Sound starts only after you choose to turn it on. Use the Sound button at the top to turn sound on or off. Play keeps the beat going until you pause, leave this section or switch away. Slide the crossfader to blend two original musical backings. Hold a record to brake, drag to scratch, then release to rejoin the beat. The six surprise pads play once and reveal a new sound. School-name shouts use an on-device English voice when available, otherwise a recorded “Go!” cue. Sound can be switched off anytime. Movement follows your device’s reduced-motion setting. It does not use a microphone or record, save or send your beat. The decks and effects are just for fun.
The mixer uses original synthesized sounds and cleared spoken sound effects. About the sounds & credits (opens in a new tab).
A temporary cookie, for fair requests
A temporary cookie gives this browser an anonymous session for each school so the same song is counted once during that session. Its value is a random code with no grade or song choices.
The server expires the session after 12 hours, without extending it when you return. The cookie lasts for the browser session. People sharing one browser share this limit.
We do not use IP addresses or browser fingerprints to identify students. Expired duplicate-prevention records are discarded during later request activity.
How song suggestions work
Song ideas come from the global catalog explicitly approved by Professor Jamz, not raw student requests. You can type a song or artist into one box. Suggestions search known song metadata, which may still need a suitability check, and you choose the correct title and artist.
This page does not send song-search words to an external music service. Search our song list or send your typed idea for private DJ review. Unmatched ideas still go privately to the DJ. Spotify search and playback are not connected. Your DJ checks the exact version and school suitability before playing anything.
What goes to the private DJ inbox
Professor Jamz stores the chosen school, grade when requested (otherwise Event-wide), original song entry, confirmed title and artist when known or your message, your optional like/top-pick choice, and time for event planning and review.
We don’t ask for student names, emails or accounts. Please don’t put personal information in a message. Only the authorized owner can view the private inbox.
Keeping or removing a request
Requests remain in the private DJ inbox until the owner removes them; automatic deletion is not enabled. Please do not include anyone’s name or contact details.
If you need a request removed, ask your teacher or contact Professor Jamz through the official website. Shared request limits keep the room manageable; they are the same for everyone at the event.
