The kids and adults really enjoyed dancing. The whole experience was awesome.
Response from Tropikal Productions:
Mahalo!!
Jimi and his Watusi Trio were the best! Such fun entertainers. Loved the way they interacted with the guests. Fabulous!
Response from Tropikal Productions:
Thank you, we had FUN, beautiful nite in Longview will be remembered til we do it again!!
The band was wonderful! They were flexible in start time and our guests loved them! Highly recommend them to everyone. Super easy to work with.
Band members were too timid and set up on the far back on the stage. The music was very nice but there were moments were in-between songs were some technical difficulties were experienced. There was also lack of interaction from the band during the performance, not once did they say a word to the crowd to get them involved or excited about their performance.
Response from Tropikal Productions:
Wow, I never saw this til now....so sorry, must have been Panorama, DEF. wasn't Watusi !! :)
Next time let me know you want the FUN group!!! Check us on FB and Youtube, etc...
Just check back here when ready!
Thanks for the word....
Great band. The members and their guests really enjoyed them at our Club event. They were energetic and went out of their way to get the crowd involved, especially the children. Can't wait to have them back again.
