• Yesterday's Swing was absolutely perfect for my birthday party. They set a wonderful tone for the evening and were a hit with all our guests. Everyone was asking where we found such an amazing swing orchestra. They could not have been better. They were also very accommodating in handling special requests. I wouldn't mind turning 50 again next year to have them back! -- Kathryn H, Washington, DC, 5/22/2009
• Yesterday Swing Orchestra has been a phenomenal addition to our annual fundraiser and a undeniable crowd favorite. They are courteous, professional, prompt, gracious, flexible, and above all incredibly talented musicians who obviously enjoy sharing their gift of music with others. One cannot help but be inspired and joyful in the presence of this wonderful group. We are priveleged to have had them at our event and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. -- Jennifer D, Washington, DC, 11/15/2008
• The Seabees group I hostessed said they had never heard such a fabulous band before. The band played all the right songs, and I could see that our group was mesmerized by them. This orchestra/band is absolutely outstanding. Some of their songs from the 40's era sounded exactly like recordings I had heard all my life from Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Les Brown, etc. I would recommend this group to anyone who wanted to have the best music and particularly to those who wanted to dance. Thank you for a job very well-done. -- Jackie B, Alexandria, VA, 10/18/2008
• Yesterday Swing Orchestra performed at our wedding. They were fantastic! Our guests were ecstatic with the style and quality of music. My wife and I were very impressed with the band's professionalism and talent. They sounded better live than the capacity of the samples on the website to replicate. We cannot say enough good things about this fabulous group of musicians and their extraordinary vocalist. If you want a perfect event, please use these guys. Just ask our guests. They will not stop talking about the music at our wedding for years. We want to get married all over again just to hear the Yesterday Swing Orchestra again! -- Rick G, Dickerson, MD, 9/20/2008
• This band has great talent and super vocals, there manager is TOPS with client. They played to over 200 guests with numerous requests asking YESTERDAY to come again. Harrisonburg has significant "wealth and folks" whom appreciate class. These musicians, instruments, sound technicians are the best. The matter of fact is they will be in great demand, book now because there value WILL increase. It was my honor to work with 5 star///out of 5 scale and wish the party could have lasted longer. RWS -- Robert S, Harrisonburg, VA, 9/27/2008
• The Yesterday Swing Orchestra performed "plein-air" and all 130 guests enjoyed the event immensely. The music was strikingly beautiful and the lovely vocalist added a sophisticated flare. Each and every orchestra member was committed to making this birthday party one we will never forget. They were successful. -- Sheree P, Newry, PA, 8/23/2008
• We couldn't have asked for a more professional, more talented group of musicians -- Yesterday Swing is PHENOMENAL! We hired them for our school's annual gala event, and Yesterday Swing really made this year's gala the best the school has ever had. We (and our 175 guests) would highly recommend them to anyone!!!! -- Mary Frances D, Washington, DC, 11/17/2007
• Wow! There are too few superlatives in the English language to express how wonderful this group is. Do not hesitate…if you want a swing band book this group. They played for my father’s 90th birthday party. We thought the crowd would peter out early, so we planned to end the party early, but the band kept the crowd lingering on. I can’t remember having that much fun in a long time. They made a beautiful evening perfect! “What we provide is an atmosphere... of orchestrated pulse which works on people in a subliminal way. Under its influence I've seen shy debs and severe dowagers kick off their shoes and raise some wholesome hell.” ~Meyer Davis, about his orchestra… and the same can be said about “Yesterday Swing”. -- Cynthia H, The Plains, VA, 9/29/2007
