Why Hire A Live Band?

#1 - VISUAL APPEAL
It is always exciting to see the musician’s play their instruments. There’s so much to see and hear! Quality bands will incorporate coordinated dance moves, glamorous costuming, fun props, and of course drummers are always fun to watch.

#2 – CUSTOMIZATION
Bands have the ability to read the crowd and change the song on the spot to fit the energy of the audience. If the crowd is really into it and dancing, the song can be extended. If needed, songs can be shortened or combined into medleys.

#3 – CROWD INVOLVEMENT
Bands can get the audience involved. Some examples are:

1. Having the rest of the band drop out and just keep the bass and drums going while doing a dance contest between the men and women.
   
   
2. Bringing people up on stage to dance or play “air guitar” with the band.
   
   
3. Taking a mic around to different people to sing fun parts of songs that they know. All of these are huge crowd pleasers!

#4 – PERSONALIZATION
Bands can insert a personal lyric or someone’s name in place of other song lyrics. Done creatively, this can be very powerful and really add a personal touch to a song.

#5 – LYRIC CLEAN-UP
Bands can remove objectionable lyrics from otherwise great songs. There will be no tell-tale beeps or drop-outs when a vulgarity is deleted. Grandma will not have to wince at the wedding reception by hearing crude language or suggestive lyrics.

#6 – EMOTIONAL CONTENT
Musicians become musicians so they have an outlet to creatively express emotion. The emotional content comes from: the music, the interaction between the musicians on stage, and interaction with the audience. This is a factor which cannot even be approached by a DJ. It is a factor you can feel while dancing in the audience of a live band performance.
