Whether it’s a wedding reception, business convention or birthday party having the right function band playing live music can transform your routine event into the social event of the season.
Having live music at your event is a way to make sure that everyone enjoys his or her time.
Music if it’s good to hear can have a fantastic effect on the people attending parties and ceremonies. Moreover a function band performing live music can rejuvenate guests to a whole different level. However in order to achieve this we need to choose the right band that plays music which effects and excites people.
The best way to hire a great function band is by discussing with friends and guides who have previously arranged for such a band to play live and exceptional music.
In fact, you do not have to spend a single dime at all. Maybe your neighbors can recommend someone that can play good music, or your friend may have his or her own function band.
You can tell a lot about how well the function band will play at your event by their other performances, it would probably be a good idea to make sure that you are taking time to go see them play live.
If you are unable to do this, at least make sure that you have access to a demo CD or online demo so that you can get a true feel for their work and talent.
The function band looking fit for the occasion is a must since this brings completeness to the songs and music they play to entertain the guests attending parties or weddings.
Also, make sure that you are talking to the band leader and asking him or her for a price list and a song list. They should already have all of this in writing so it should not be too much trouble for them to get that to you. The function band should always conduct themselves in a business like manner at all times. They should have set prices and never try to wing a negotiation.
Be prepared to be asked for a non-refundable deposit as well. This is usually around ten to twenty percent.
You will also want to make sure that you are asking the right questions. Ask if the function band will take requests. This is something that mot bands do not have any trouble with as long as they are given enough of advance notice.
Seeing their equipment is also important. Make note to look and see if their equipment is safe. Emphasize to them the safety precautions and that they should always follow them. No live wires or no loose electric cables should be lying around.
You should ask about their dress code to ensure that what they are wearing is appropriate for your function.
However please give them some leaway as often performers like to dress ‘uniquely’!
Be sure to discuss what time the function band will be arriving as well. It is important to make sure that they are allowing enough time for set up and sound checks before your guests start rolling in. You do not want your friends deafened by the squeals of the sound check session.
If you have any songs that you absolutely do not want played, for whatever reason, make sure that you are informing the function band of that prior to them showing up for the event.
Everyone would be staring at your function band once they take center stage so make sure they look good before they perform. In doing so, this hosted party will result in making headlines all over town; you will have the neighbours talking about it for ages!
