November 1, 2022Easy to work with, professional, and great music!
We hired Rich and his five piece brass band to play marching and patriotic music at a 95th birthday party for the founder of our nonprofit. They were easy to work with, on time, flexible, great with the kids we serve, friendly and the music sounded awesome! We would highly recommend Rich and his band and hope to be able to hire them again in the future.
