We had a great turn-out and the people loved the performance. They gave them a standing ovation and requested an encore! We would definitely recommend them. They were very helpful and understanding during the booking process. We had some issues (on our end) and they were able to help work things out. Great band and we would definitely have them back.

Boardwalk Brass were a pleasure to work with. We had 140 guests for our annual fundraiser and everyone loved them. They were prompt and courteous and worked with our budget.

The Boardwalk Brass Band performed at the Sunday Main Street Farmers Market during our busy summer season. We look to our bands to enliven the atmosphere for families and help to create a festive fun experience for customers. Through their performance they certainly did so! They also helped to MC the market by making market related announcements and promoting our farmers. We would love to have them back again!

Boardwalk Brass performed during our Santa Arrival event in 2017 which involved Santa Skydiving onto the beach across from our location, Pacific City. The team was polite and very professional, arriving well in advance to ensure timely setup. The Brass Band was a perfect addition for Santa's arrival on property and we can't wait to have them back again this year!

We hired the Boardwalk Brass for our neighborhood block party. They were ABSOLUTELY 100% LOVED by the entire neighborhood!!! They arrived on-time, in celebratory attire, had a fabulous repertoire that had people dancing, tapping their feet, or simply taking in, and they simply made the whole day fun and festive. We have a diverse group of neighbors, with different tastes in music and styles, but this band was enjoyed by everyone from the youngest child to the oldest (well into their 80's). We couldn't have been more pleased and we'd hire them again in a heart-beat!
