This is exactly how I felt at this thing I DJed at my school. It was a thing for parents to watch their kid on a basketball team go through their warm ups. I was asked to DJ the shit to add some spice. I had my full DJ setup, and reallllly nice speakers that my school bought. I played at a very low level the whole time, because the coach was telling me to constantly turn it down, when I could barely hear it out of the speakers. I just felt so out of place, with such a small crowd of people, and none of them gave a shit.
This almost happened to me today, I DJed an art show. Played disco house and indie rock. For the first half hour, I felt like I was playing to myself, random person walked by and would just look at me, then keep walking. Thank god it picked up and people were walking up and shit and telling me good job. But yea, for that first part I was really regretting taking the gig, especially when I wasn't getting paid.
I'm just curious how other ppl feel. :P
