I've recently taken on running a school disco three times a year with the current themes: Oct = neon/glow, Feb = neon/glow, May = summer festival (outside)

It annoys me that Oct and Feb are identical so I'd like to change one of them.

Halloween seems fairly obvious for Oct but I was cautioned against doing that because costumes can get too hot in the school hall. That discussion was between the previous headteacher and the previous disco lead so I'm not sure if this is accurate or if things have changed. I wouldn't mandate costumes but also not sure if the theme would put off some cultures from attending and the point is to get as many attendees as possible to raise money for the school.

Chinese New Year is close to the Feb disco so wondered if that could be a possibility, but as it's outside of my own culture I'm not sure what's appropriate and don't want to offend anyone. We do have a sizable Chinese population at our school and it'd be nice for them to be more represented in the PTA events as we already cover most of the big UK cultures throughout the year.

Please throw your ideas at me! Thank you
