PicnicReviewed on June 28, 2008From Lowell, MA

We were very pleased with the performance of In The House... we just wish the weather was a little better for our event...but no one can control that!

Dinner DanceReviewed on December 15, 2006From Pittsfield, MA

I thought they were really great and certainly got everyone moving. The only negative I have to say is that they were supposed to play from 7:30-11:00 and instead of 3.5 hours, they played for about 2 hours. They didn't start until after 8:30 (which wasn't their fault). Then at 10 they took over a half hour break, came back and only played a few songs (until 11) and didn't extend it another hour to make up for the late start. That was disappointing because everyone was really enjoying themselves and it felt like the evening was cut off short.

In The House:

Hi, Aimee! We're glad that everyone had a great time. As you mentioned, we started late, but that was because of the late dinner and door prize drawings. We did play an extra long 1st set (1hr20 compared to the usual 45min) to try and compensate. Our break was @ 20 minutes (standard is 15min for every 45 min set)with the 1st set ending just after 10 and us back on stage at 10:22. We always like to give more...We did hope to add at least a few extra songs at the end but one of the coordinators kept coming up to us while we were performing telling us that we had to move our cars out of the loading area (where we had been told that we could park) by 11 so 2 of thei
