I was formal chair this semester - we're having ours in the Player's Club Room (only half-kidding w/ that name . . . ), at the Back Bay Hilton in downtown boston here. . . pretty sweet.
That's the up and the down of being in the city - we don't have to 'go anywhere' for formal . . . I sort of wish it were more of a trip, rather than hopping into a bus and heading to a top floor of a building by the water.
Anyway - fall is black-tie, spring is semiformal, usually a 'cruise' on the harbor.
As far as songs, I'm sure you've already got the standard stable going - some DMB, Sinatra (esp 'way you look tonite'), 'Wonderful tonight', etc . . . we also rely heavily on Louie, Louie and Volcano (buffett) for entertainment as well.
We're lucky though - we have a 'real' DJ who's alumni from U of Maine that hooks us up for formals . . . basically works for drinks. He's awesome.
