1. Know first the type and theme of the party. Is it a kiddie party? Or a wedding party?  Knowing the type of party will enable you to choose the perfect live band for the party to provide entertainment, and it gives the band some ideas on what kind of music to play.

Music, especially live music, always makes a party livelier and memorable; so choosing the right live band is important. It should be the kind of band whose music fits the theme of the party and the tastes of the guests. At a wedding party, for example, the band should be playing love songs as well as upbeat music to keep the guests dancing during the reception.

2. For large parties. get a professional live band that has experience in performing at large gatherings .  Find a band with a good “track record”, and a reputation for professionalism. Nothing ruins a party or an event more than waiting for a band that arrives late or not at all. Choose a band that has a good reputation – and promptness is one gauge on how a band takes their clients seriously.

4. Make sure the band arrives early enough to set-up their instruments, ad ensure that a all the sound equipment, amplifiers are set up and all the outlets are working. Give the band enough time o to not only to set up but to “warm up”; so they are ready to play when the guests arrive. and   while the singers are preparing for the songs. Make sure you have contracted a band that i will play music appropriate to the event and the guests an able to meet the expectations of the organizers. A Punk Rock band at a children’s party or wedding reception will not go over very well.  Make sure the band fulfils the required amount of songs  and style of music, and gives the  kind of professional performance expected by their client.

5. Also, the band should not just perform a concert. Since it is a party, the band should be able to draw in the crowd, engage and interact with them – make the audience groove to the music. It is an “all-out” performance that does not bore the crowd in the party, but force them to get to their feet, singing and dancing in sync with the band..
