Hire the Party Band

Party bands are not made equally. It is important to audition the party band. The best way is to
ask the band if you can check out their next performance. This is good because you can see
the party band in action. If the band does not have a performance for you to watch you can
ask them to play something for you. You want to make sure that the party band sound
matches the sound you would like for your party.
If the bands sound matches what you are looking for it is time for the contract. It is good to
make sure that both you and the party band are on the same page about expectation and
payments. When hiring the band it is good to know what time they will come to set up, will they
require additional equipment and when are they expecting payment. These are just a few of
the things that should be gone over before the day of the event.
Party

You went through all this work now you deserve to party. Let the party band do its job and
keep you dancing all night. If they do a great job be sure to let everyone know how great the
party band did so they can get more gigs.
