SUMMARY:PRYSM's Silent Disco
DESCRIPTION:Repair Days 2026 Art Auction\n\n\nA silent disco is a party where people dance to music played through wireless headphones instead of a speaker system. The music is broadcast via a transmitter and picked up by the headphones\, so people without headphones can’t hear the music. \n\n\n\nMeaning you can listen to the music at whatever volume you like!
