You are listening to a stereo system at a party. There are people dancing, but most people are still in their seats, chatting or starring off into space. No one seems all that excited. It is the same music that they have heard before, in the same way that they have heard it. It is no private party band - it is same old, same old.
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 is great for parties, weddings, office functions, etc. Because they are full of life. When people hear live music, played soulfully by people who love music, they often react better to it. It is often more enjoyable to dance to music that is being played in front of oneself than it is to dance to music that comes out of some speakers.
Old chart toppers can be enjoyable, but they can also get annoying. For example, someone hears all of the same songs at two different weddings, the occasion may not seem as special. Because no one has ever played exactly like the band has at any given moment, you get a truly special experience.
Live bands may either be original or they may play other people’s music. Some do both. But when it is your wedding or party you can choose exactly what type of music you want - be it pop or swing. If you have a band rather than a DJ, you can have more control over the type of music played at your party. For instance, if you hire a swing band for dancing, no one will be able to request that new pop dance hit.
Live bands are, by definition, made up of live people, so they can interact with the audience. Some bands encourage audience members to participate, and can joke around with them. DJs can possibly do this, but generally they tend to stay off on the sidelines.
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.
