• I can't thank the members of Nu Pan Groove Steel Drum Band enough for their performance yesterday. The party was such a success! Max was professional and accomodating from start to finish. They were set up and ready to go when the party started and interacted with all the children making my daughter's 10th birthday party a very special day! I would highly recommend this band to people of all ages! We had a great time. Thank you so much! I will have to find an excuse to have another party just so I can have them back! -- Carla S, Rolling Hills Estates, CA, 6/20/2009
• Max and his partner were everything we had hoped for. My wife's 40th was something she will never forget thanks to Nu Pan Groove. She's been bragging to everyone how great her birthday was and the first thing she mentions is the steel drums! Thanks Max for making it top notch. I scored points this year! -- Ron D, Huntington Beach, CA, 5/30/2009
• Max was completely professional. He arrived on time, set up on time, was friendly, courteous and very talented. Everyone at the party (75), young and old, enjoyed his music. I would highly recommend him. I hope he gets a few new engagements due to his performance. Beverly Childers -- Beverly C, Laguna Woods, CA, 11/9/2008
