They were fabulous! No complaints - all raves: The arrived in plenty of time to set up and to practice. They all looked great. They all acted very professionally - they ARE professionals; you really get that sense from them.
The music was outstanding - this is the first event ever, where I saw people get up to dance the minute the band started. This was during the soft music that we had them start with while we were eating dinner. People actually left their dinner to get up and dance (and the dinner was very tasty). The band continued to read the crowd and alter the music style as appropriate in order to keep the dance floor bustling and keep the crowd happy. -Chila K.
