General Band Questions:
What is the price range for your bands?
Some factors considered would include location of the event, type of venue, as well as the type of band/act being used for that event. Price is also driven by the day of the week and time of the year. Upgrades can also be attained.
What are the options for additional Upgrades?
Additonal fees that may be incurred:
= Special effects (Lighting, Fog machines, Staging, Video screens, etc...)
= Extra hours for Band performance (Outside the standard 3 to 4 Hour time)
= No Break evening. Bands generally take 2-3 breaks, for an additional fee (some bands) will take "No beaks" for continuous live band music.
How much is "Extra Time" for the band?
"Extra Time" is available pro-rated and may be booked in ½ hour increments. For example: The rate for a band that books at $2000.00 for four hours would be $250.00 for an additional ½ hour. You may "book" "Extra Time" on the spot, right at the end of the contracted evening.
What are the payment terms?
The deposit is 50% with the balance of 50% due on or before the day of the event. Or as mutually agreed upon.
Is there any music played during the breaks?
The band will play CD’s or MP3’s. We encourage our clients to create their own break CD’s/MP3's in order to further customize the evening’s playlist. This music should be 15-20 minutes long and should be numbered "Break 1, 2 & 3." The amount of breaks depends on the amount of hours the band performs.
Does the band also M.C.?
Every band has a leader and M.C. to facilitate speeches and activities and to keep the evening moving. The band leader can also help to create a timeline for the evening with you...
Can I meet with the bandleader prior to the date?
Yes, Some Leaders will meet about 30 days prior to the event. At that time, all the details and song selections will be discussed and documented.

Estimate only - 45.
Do I provide a meal for the band?
This is optional. This is one of those pre-determined details discussed before the day of your event.
What time does the band set-up?
Bands are finished with set-up and sound-check at the pre-determined start time according to contract terms. Earlier set-up is available for a nominal fee or mutually agreed upon time. The nominal fee usually comes in to play when the band is required to set-up hours before their start time.
