ENTERTAINMENT
MUSIC - A list of entertainers who have worked reunion in the past few years or asked to be included on the list is available from Alumni Relations staff. Most classes have selected DJ's over bands as a way to control costs. Most groups or booking agents have tapes so you may sample the music before contracting with them. When talking to their representative, be specific with the music requests!
Housing for band members - band members may stay in the dorms for a $40 fee (per bed) and will be assigned rooms at the discretion of the staff.
RISERS/STAGING - The College owns a limited number of risers. To accommodate all returning classes, each class has the option of using two 4 x 8 risers (making either a 4 x 16 or 8 x 8 stage). If you need additional staging for your evening entertainment, it should be rented through dining services from the tent company for an additional charge. (NOTE: We cannot mix College-owned risers with rental ones.)
AUDIOVISUAL EQUIPMENT & PODIUMS - To save the College money, consider asking your band or DJ if you can use their system for your program or a few announcements. If the class needs one and is unable to use the entertainer's system, notify College Dining Services.
TVs, VCR and DVDs - All reunion headquarters are equipped with televisions. If the class plans on showing children's movies, a combination tv/vcr/dvd should be rented by the class (we've had problems with old College TVs not being compatible with DVD players). Contact the staff for rental prices.
PIANOS - Most reunion headquarters have pianos and are routinely tuned each spring. Moving or additional tuning requests will be charged to the class (approximately $55 for tuning; $200 for moving).
TOWN CURFEW AND NOISE - Outdoor entertainment must end at midnight on Friday and Saturday nights due to Williamstown's noise curfew. Please advise your band or DJ of this policy. Additionally, the town police may close your party if they receive more than two noise complaints from members of the Williamstown community.
