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.
Now imagine a second scenario. You are dancing, and feeling lots of energy flowing through you. Just about everyone else is dancing as well, and they all seem really happy. You have never heard music exactly like this before. You hear voices from microphones, and the sound of live instruments. You are in the zone with a live wedding band.
A private party band 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.
However, with live bands you can hear either original music or new renditions of the classics. Some bands may also offer a mixture of both. Also, with a live band you can get more creative with the type of music played at your wedding or function. When people see a DJ, they often request classic dance songs that everyone has danced to before. However, with a live band they can play swing music and no one will request a rock song, for instance.
Because these bands feature live people, they can interact with guests in a good way. DJs tend to keep the ball rolling, while live bands are out there with the people. They may have some audience participation.
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.
Private bands are great for all of these reasons. They can be costly at times, and they are not perfect for every single party. However, if the setting is right they can give your energy much more party, and improve the experience of the party guests. They can also make your party more unique and memorable.
