Hiring The Best Function Band

By Michelle Lake


In recent times one sees live bands playing in birthday parties, anniversaries, weddings, private parties, corporate functions or any other such programmes or functions. These live bands are called function bands. These function bands are to be selected carefully keeping in mind the nature of the function and the genre of the music you want them play. If all the pre-arrangements are taken care of, you can look forward to a grand party.

You need to check with the logistics before you hire a function band. Check whether the venue has the necessary license for playing music in the first place. Check if there is any time limitation for playing music till late night and if there are any sound limits of the same. Hire the only when these points are cleared up or else there will be an utter waste of precious time and money if you find out about the curtails and bans in the last minute.

There are some easy ways to find about function bands. You can look in the Yellow pages. You can Google it in the internet. You can ask an event management agency. There are always some references available from your friends or relatives. First, you select the function band. Then talk to them. Either let them suggest or you discuss with them what kind of music will best fit your party. If you are confident about the choice of music, then search for the function band that has the best reputation of playing your kind of music.

It is always safe to choose function bands which have been referred to you by your friends and relatives. They had at least heard the band play. Whereas if you choose the band from internet sources, you might end up with the wrong band and that will upset the party. Again, if it is necessary to choose the function band from internet sources, try to choose those who have websites or fan pages in networking sites. Try to read their reviews or watch their uploaded videos or audio.

If money is not a problem, then you can hire an event management agency and give them the total responsibility of hiring the function band. In this way, it is much safer to have the party without ant hitches or troubles as the agency will take care of every minute details of the arrangements.

You can find various types of function bands available in the party scene today. They are diversified with their category of performances. While some specializes in wedding functions, other may play best in private parties or anniversaries. The function bands need to be the jack of all trades because whatever parties they play at, each has a different theme. For instance, a wedding function is different from a private party or a birthday party and the mood that needs to be generated is also different in each case. So the function band needs to play a diverse range of music starting from golden oldies of the 60s to latest chart toppers.

Instead of the 'kind of party they play at' factor, function bands are also categorized on the genre of music they play. There are bands which play only country music; some specializes in psychedelic or new age rock. Some are masters in playing heavy metal. There are pop bands, soft rock band, disco bands or rhythm & blues bands. If you are sure about the kind of music you want to have in your party, you can contact one of these specialized unction bands and set the party on fire.

It can be concluded that whatever kind of a function band that you hire for your party, make sure you jointly sit with them and select the song play list well in advance so that they have time to rehearse. Moreover, clarify all logistical requirements they would need at the venue like power supply, stage space, parking space, etc so that you can make all the arrangements for a greatly successful function.
