band showcase tonight (updated)

So, I just got back from the Skyline showcase - I saw Skyline and Rhapsody.

Both were incredible. I'm honestly having a tough time deciding which I liked better... they also have very different styles, so it's hard to compare.

Does anybody have an opinion on either of these bands? Know anybody who has used them?

Also, I forgot to ask them, but does anybody know what exactly their prices covers (how many hours, just reception or also cocktail hour, etc) and if there is an add on for tax or gratuity?

Was anybody else there? It was lots of fun. I enjoyed the free champagne

Re: band showcase tonight (updated)

I have the pricing when I went to see them it was
Skyline was $6,2000 including cocktail
Code Bleu was $6150 including cocktail

I didn't book them,

I went with EASTCOASTBAND.COM.

#1 b/c they are amazing
and a bonus... they are cheaper!!! LY rates were $5,500 w/o cocktail... but I didn't want cocktail I am getting strolling violins (I think).

Go check out Eastcoast before you make your decision!!! They are amazing!

Really? They quoted me 5800 for Skyline and 5200 for Rhapsody. I didn't ask about Code Bleu because I didn't see them.
Does the quote usually include cocktail hour? All the Franklin Wayne bands did, but that's my only other experience with this...

and thanks, I'll check out East Coast.

Re: band showcase tonight (updated)

I am not sure... I would call and ask!

You definitely got a cheaper quote then me... That's weird.

If I were going to go with a Skyline band it would have been Code Blue, I liked them the best... but then I saw eastcoast and FELL IN LOVE!

They have a lot of horns and I love HORNS, also the lead vocilist is so outgoing... he is awesome.
I have seen this band at 1 wedding, 1 showcase, and 3 times at a bar... everytime I have seen them the dance floor is PACKED!

Def go try to see them... to get the real impact of them they usually play at I think it is Flanagan in NYC... Go check them out there... You will see people having the time of their life!

Hey... It says on their website that they are going to be at Mirage on Friday night... I have never been there... but I would call to confirm they are going to be there if you want to check them out.

Then after that they are at

O'Flanagan's -Thursday June 15 - 1215 1st Ave. New York, NY - 212.439.0660
