Things to consider when hiring the band.

Plan Early!! We generally schedule a
minimum of 6 months ahead of time for a private party. It is best to contact us
9 months to a year in advance to ensure we can reserve your date. As soon as you reserve your
venue - call us!! We are currently booked as far as December 2009. See our
calendar for open dates.
You do not need to hire someone to
run sound. No need to hire additional people to run
sound, we prefer to run our own sound and use our own high end equipment .
Since our music style vary so extensively through out the night,
this ensures you are receiving.g the consistent quality we strive to provide.
We differ froma a DJ. It is sometimes dificult to follow a
strict
"play list" of particular songs that you
would like us to follow in a particular order. We are happy to work with you
to determine the type of music you would like, however, we do ask for
flexibility. Feel free to let us know what genre of music you prefer and those types of
music that you prefer to avoid. Also let us know if you find any songs
particularly offensive as well. We just ask that you refrain from picking and
choosing every song and a particular order from our song list.
Again, we are a professional
band and recognize that many of our popular "club" songs are not always
appropriate for a wedding or a private party. We know that you don't want to see
your grandparents grinding to "I Want Your Sex". We will work with you to ensure your party is
a success.
We
always charge for our services.
As charitable
as we would like to be, we must feed our families, therefore as much as we
would like to, we cannot "donate" our services, or play at no charge for "marketing" or
"networking" purposes.
We MAY occasionally be able to learn a
specific song for your event for an
additional fee with adequate (several
months)notice. Please see the songlist on this site for the most up
to data and accurate list of songs we perform.
Adequate power
is essential for our performance. Our agent
will provide you with additional details regarding power requirements during the booking process.
Adequate space. We do have an
enormous amount of equipment which requires adequate space for us to
perform. We do require a floor, concrete or a stage (we do not set up on
the grass, in the dirt
or in the sand). Our agent will provide you with stage
requirement during the booking process.
Outside events.
We do require that you have a
covered area available for the band in the event of rain if you are planning an
outside event. This is a
nonnegotiable. We reserve the right to
refuse to set up in the event of poor weather, forecasted rain or when WE feel
weather conditions are questionable if adequate shelter is not
provided. So please ensure you have a alternate location available for the
band.
The Stars band has performed
for thousands of weddings and corporate parties. We look forward to making your
next event a success. Feel free to contact us at info@thestarsband.com if we can
be of any assistance.
