Birthday Party Band; Live Entertainment

By Lewis John

When marking a special occasion, it is nice to go all out and do things right by investing in live entertainment, good food and a nice venue. A birthday party band is a great idea to help in celebrating a milestone birthday such as a sweet 16, when someone turns 21 or any of the older birthdays that seem to be mile-markers for a person's achievements of living past a certain age.

Many days of importance should be memorialized with a party and at a relaxed, easy going place would be preferred unless it is a formal gathering. Such formal functions like a First Holy Communion celebration, reunion, wedding, dance or Bar or Bat Mitzvah should be conducted in a nice banquet facility where guests have plenty of room to move about and dance if there is live music playing.

Hiring a live band so that guests are sure to have a good time will complement all the other experiences of the day or evening like eating a good meal. Food is typically an excellent way to bring people together in many traditions and live music will give guests another option besides grazing at the buffet. They could enjoy the sounds of a song, which is often better then people talking, or they could decide to get up and dance.

Depending on the age of the person doing the celebrating and the type of gathering, a live group for a birthday party could consist of that person's most desired band, one they have heard before but perhaps never seen in person. Bands are separated into two groups, those that play other peoples music and those that play their own songs and music.

There are many other bands that are known as tribute bands which try to exactly duplicate a bands sound and look. One such example would be the band 1964 which is a Beatles look and sound-alike band. Each person in the band looks exactly like one of the Beatles and even plays the same instrument that they did.

Cover bands are a little different and play a certain decade or time period like 60's music or the time when jazz was popular. Many cover bands choose a couple of bands and stick with only their tunes so they can become almost as good as the originals. Cover bands could be an exciting addition to any type of party or celebration.

A disc jockey could perform at a celebratory party; however this has much less appeal than a live band. There is something exciting about a group of people playing instruments verses speakers music from speakers that will have people up and out on the dance floor.

Additionally, a birthday party band consisting of live music could accept requests from guests for different songs; one band member could make statements about the honoree while his or her bandmates play music softly in the background or a live band could simply be a nice addition to a lively party. - 2361
