It has been said:"DJ's are like
buying vanilla and there isn't ten cents worth of difference
between them. They all play the same CD's and flash the same
cheap lights at the dance floor. Like a McDonald's hamburger,
they offer a uniform product and service."And, I might add,
they all taste the same.
When looking for special event entertainment,
many people today are pleasantly surprised to find that live
music is more affordable than they might have initially
thought.
The myth that DJ entertainment is always
less expensive than live entertainment just does not hold true
anymore. While live entertainment costs have held steady or
even slightly declined over the past several years, there has
been a fairly steady rise in the costs for DJ entertainment.
It is true that with a DJ you will normally have less people
to pay, but with the introduction of more elaborate sound
systems, DJ teams, dancers, giveaway gimmicks, and light
shows, many DJs offer packages which are more expensive than
hiring live musicians.
Most importantly, there is
a fundamental reason that DJs have had to improve their
offerings and consequently increase their overall cost. DJ
entertainment simply does not carry the overall entertainment
value of a live musical performance.
This is an
often overlooked but important point to consider when planning
a special event. Here's why. At any special event, inevitably,
your guests will be comprised of a mixed crowd varying in,
among other things, age, ethnicity, and background, as well as
their desire to be reserved or outgoing. For some guests the
music will spawn activity and they will spend the majority of
their time on the dance floor. For others, who might have less
of a desire to dance, live music provides an equally enjoyable
concert or lounge-type atmosphere. The bottom line is that
live entertainment is both a participatory activity and a
spectator sport all rolled into one.
This is the
unequalled entertainment value of live music. It is clearly
demonstrated by the millions of people who attend concerts,
symphonies, outdoor festivals, and night clubs to hear live
entertainers perform each year. There is an inherent power and
energy in live entertainment that captivates and appeals to
the audience.
So, when planning for your next event, be
sure to check the prices and think about the overall
entertainment value you want to give your guests. Live
entertainment is sure to make your special event a more
memorable and satisfying experience for your
guests.
FIVE REASONS TO CHOOSE LIVE
MUSIC FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT
1.
Live Music Creates
Excitement When you hear live music, whether you are at
a nightclub or a wedding, it means something special is
happening. It naturally draws a crowd and invites people
to join in on the fun. Each year, millions of people pay
huge amounts of money to attend concerts to hear their
favorite singers or groups perform because they want to
feel the energy of the performer. Live musicians have
been noted as heating-up the room, with the energy they
deliver for an event.
2.Live Music Makes
Every Occasion Special The difference between live
music and pre-recorded music is similar to the difference
between going to a Broadway show and watching a movie.
The live orchestra and entertainment make the show
special.
3.Live Music More
Easily Sets And Changes A Mood Social events are all
about human interaction. Live musicians can read the
crowd and react to their needs. Live music can set the
right tone and mood, and change it throughout the event
if necessary. Good musicians and groups form a bond with
the guests delivering exactly what they
want.
4.Guests Prefer Live
Music How often have you heard someone describe an
event they attended by saying something like "That
band was great! You should have heard them play!" The music
is usually the most memorable part of any
function.
5.We All Have CD's
At Home Do you really want to
go out and hear someone play the same CDs you have in your
home? Enough said!
THE BOTTOM
LINE
FINALLY, people today have become tired of
the same, old, hum-drum, "canned" music that has been
synthesized with a "computerish" sound and mechanical
feel.
The ONLY thing people find refreshing anymore
is the NATURAL sounds of real live brass and woodwinds, real
horns, played by human beings with natural, undistorted
guitars, and real acoustic drums. All played by musicians who
play with feeling and emotion and who can actually swing.
Along with a singer who has real talent and presence.
Put a real good live band in front of your
guests and watch their faces of joy and amazement. Reap their
praises and compliments for months and years to come!
