Feedback
- We really enjoyed having the Dave Banks Big Band at our Mardi Gras Gala fundraiser. Their professional performace added to the elegance and atmosphere of the event. I have received many compliments for our choice in the band. -- Patti Tiu, Wheeling, WV, 3/14/2011
- Our company could not possibly be happier with the Dave Banks Big Band. They arrived on-time, were ready to start, had obvioulsy prepared heavily and were above-all-else EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED. Dave has put together a group of musicians that I would hire on an individual basis if needed without question. When you put them all together they are truly one fantastic band. We were looking for a way to bring up the level of our previous awards shows and DBBB gave us exactly what we were looking for! If you need a band that you know without question will do you right and entertain you at the same time... I suggest that you hire the Dave Banks Big Band! -- Justin Green, Sandusky, OH, 2/20/2012
