Why Go For A Private Party Band?

By Marie Janus

You are at one friend's party. The music is music that you have heard plenty of times before. It is going up the charts, and every pop and alternative station is playing it nonstop. Some people are dancing, but a lot of people are still sitting staring off into space or are talking quietly. Those who are dancing are being a bit awkward, as the music isn't exactly dance music. No one is all that into it, as they have heard it all before. It is the usual music: it is no private party band.

Flash to another scenario: you are dancing, smiling, and feel full of energy. The music behind you is vibrant, loud, and real. Real voices are coming out of microphones instead of synthesized beats, and real instruments are playing only about twenty feet away. You are enjoying the rhythm and sound of a live band, in an intimate setting.

Live bands can be fun for many functions, including birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, and weddings. They are full of energy, so they may just energize the guests as well. Live music comes from people who live for the music, who love what they do, and people can enjoy feeling the love and excitement emanating from the band members. Live dance music can just be more fun than recorded music.

People often like listening to old favorites, but dance song recordings can get old. When one goes to more than one wedding in a short period of time and both weddings use DJs, it is likely that they will hear many of the same songs. And these songs will be the original recordings, so they will be played exactly the same.

Live bands vary in music type, so you can get any type of music that you want with a band. Some bands cover songs, and some play their own. With live bands, you have more control over what is played at your function. If you hire a live band, no one will want to request a cheesy love song or the latest dance hit.

These bands are great because they can interact with the people at the party. While a DJ often does some announcements, they often focus on keeping the music going. Musicians, on the other hand, are out there with the rest of the guests and may even let a musically-inclined guest join in on an instrument. Of course, not all bands are like this.

Bands are also great to hire because hiring them means supporting several people. You may also be supporting their dream to "make it big." Even if their dreams are small, you have supported them in their endeavors.

Thus, live bands are a great choice for private functions. They are not appropriate for every occasion, as they may be somewhat costly. But if you want energy, uniqueness, interaction, and vibrancy, you may want to consider hiring a band for your next function. They may offer a freshness to a boring and stiff function that cannot be found many other places. - 40727
