Feedback
- Traget played our wedding reception and they were fantastic! They were completely accommodating and kept everyone dancing all night. We got lots of great compliments on the band, and my dad who is a musician himself was very impressed! They were all extremely talented, we could not believe how well they covered some of our favorite classic rock songs. They definitely helped to make our reception a blast! We would recommend them to anyone! -- Emma B, Logan, OH, 8/21/2010
- This band was phenomenal! We got rave reviews from all of our guests. I could have listened to them for hours. They were very economical and entertaining. They were a huge asset to our party. We definitely will hire them again for other parties! -- Karen H, Monclova, OH, 6/26/2010
- Great band. Very accommodating to our needs and request. Everyone at our retirement party had nothing but good things to say about the band. Target is an appropriate name for this band because they sure hit the Bullseye with what we were looking for: A good sounding group that was fun for listening and dancing. -- Bill S, Canton, OH, 5/21/2010
- On August 29, 2009 Target played our wedding at the historic Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio, they were the perfect fit. They absolutely rocked. One of the best things about them is that they showed their enjoyment through out their performance. It was great to see the band enjoying the night as much as our guest. They showed up on time and did everything we asked. I would love to have them play another event for us. Anyone that is looking for a band that defeats the typical "wedding band" stereotype, look no further than Target. You will not be disappointed. -- Zack T, Columbus, OH, 8/29/2009
- They showed up early to get set up.They got their equipment set up pretty quickly.They played for at least 3.5 hours.They let one of my family members who has his own band also stand in for a few songs.They were highly enjoyed and complimented by everyone in attendance. So,in short,I would highly recommend this band to anyone who enjoys good classic hard rock and likes to get their moneys worth.I hope to have them out next year as well. -- Richard B, Seville, OH, 8/28/2010
- We were very pleased with the overall performance of the Target band. They are very talented as well as friendly. We would recommend them very highly. -- Trelena C, Mansfield, OH, 10/3/2009
- Phil and the group were GREAT! We had a great surprise party for my husband. Everyone enjoyed the music and danced. My party could not have turned out better! I would hire them again in a second! :) -- Jenni S, Loveland, OH, 9/18/2009
- Target is a band of complete professionals,friendly, personable, and completely accomodating.Their music made our wedding more memorable and special than we could have imagined.Their range of music talent was INCREDIBLE! Judy was a songbird with no limits.All our guests enjoyed the music completely from beginning to end. My husband and I are brainstorming what other parties we can host to have them return?Highly recommended to any and all. Phil, let us know when you play in our area, we will be there!! -- Jaclyn M, Amherst, OH, 7/11/2009
- I have only one thing to say about this band they are the best. It has been a week since our event and we are still being told by people who attended how good they are and they are asking if we know where they are performing next. We have given so many of their business cards out and are even planning an evening out with friends at one of their upcoming dates. They now have a new group of fans and we will be seeing them soon. Thanks guys for making our event the talk of the town. -- Dawn S, Medina, OH, 6/27/2009
- Very professional, on time, easy to work with and a really talented group with a great female lead singer and a great classic rock sound. You guys are a pleasure to work with!! -- Marylee M, Stow, OH, 8/8/2009
- We couldnt be happier about our decision to hire Target for our Wedding, everyone made comments on how they loved the band and kept asking us where we found them, they were very professional and made announcements for us as requested they were also very friendly and great to talk to while on breaks even though we had a little problem with the air conditioning at the beginning of the night and it must have been about 90 degrees the first few hours, we are going to have them play for us again whenever we decide to have a pig roast either this summer or next, loved you guys, you guys definately ROCK, thanks so much for helping to make our wedding reception a hit! -- Theresa N, Euclid, OH, 5/23/2009
- Everyone at my party was awe struck how excellent they were. The large variety of music fit the crowd young and old alike. I definetly will use them again. there was alot of toe tapping,handclapping and dancing going on. Wonderful people to work with. Very proffesional in setting up and clean up.
If you every get a chance to see them near you don't miss them. You'll be dancing the whole night long.
EXCELLENT TIME HAD BY ALL !!!!! Thank you soo much If I could rate you a 10 You would get a 10. Thanks again TARGET!!! Mary Freshour -- Mary F, Collins, OH, 6/13/2009
- Target performed for us at our annual company Christmas party. We had around 300 guest who were treated with a great blend of music from the very talented members of TARGET. I was a little skeptical bringing in a band that specializes in classic rock because of the audience I knew would be in attendence. Target took control opening up with some soft rock and worked their way into a really dynamic evening with many great classics. Our dance floor stayed packed and our guest really had a great evening. Our thanks and appreciation goes out to the band for a truly great performance and wonderful evening. I highly recommend the group and will hire them again. Allen A. -- Allen A, Monroe, MI, 12/11/2008
- Very professional and accommodating in all interactions. Wide range of tunes to appeal to broad audience. Got LOTS of positive comments about band from attendees. Would definitely book again for future events. -- Julian T, Piqua, OH, 9/13/2008
- The band was great!! Extremely accomadating and very adaptable. Music was wonderful and would NOT hesitate to use them again! -- Traci H, Akron, OH, 8/2/2008
- Target was absolutely great!!!! The music was just what we were looking for. The guests were happy. The guests stayed late and the band made the party fun. We would DEFINITELY reccommend this band and we will have them back for our next party. I cannot say enough about their music and performance. Phil, Judy and the rest, we had a great time and we want to thank you! -- Gregory T, East Liverpool, OH, 7/4/2008

- As our evening grew late and the crowd dwindled, Target played with heart and soul the whole time. They would be such a blast for a class reunion! -- Regina S, Batesville, IN, 6/21/2007
- Target was exactly what our company was looking for. They made our Christmas Party a hit! -- Jessica D, Geneva, OH, 12/8/2007
- Would love to see them again next year -- Sandy G, Alliance, OH, 9/6/2008
- although i did the booking, i could not be present for the festival, however my staff indicated the band did a great job and worked to accomidate both the other bands as well as the workers in this area so all aspects of our show came off perfectly, i had my staff eveluate each band on an individial basis so that we could decide which ones would be used again in future and Target got extremely high marks, if they had to pick one thing that could use improving they said that the band needed more dancable songs in their lineup, which was no fault of the band, we knew the set list before we booked them and knew TARGET was serious about ROCK AND ROLL! thanks again !!!! -- Jeff A, Mansfield, OH, 6/13/2008

- All the feedback I have received from the people who attended has been very positive. People were dancing throughout the whole night and we really enjoyed the music.
