Turn your guests into the headliners
Our interactive show is a hybrid of a high-energy dance band and live band karaoke. Between dance sets, your team takes the mic and sings lead with the full band behind them, with HD lyric screens, QR code song requests and an emcee who keeps every singer in the spotlight.
It fits company holiday parties, client appreciation nights and conference receptions, and a PG song list is always available.

Can you work with our hotel’s in-house A/V?

Is travel extra for a San Antonio corporate event?
Travel is built into your proposal, so there are no surprise line items. Every proposal is custom to your date, venue, band size and program.
How far ahead should we book?
Holiday party season and spring conference dates book first, so reach out as soon as your date is set. Corporate events can often book closer to the date than weddings.
Can you add an interactive element for our team?

Yes. See our San Antonio wedding band page.
