del Casal Band
The
Georgian at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, New Year's Eve 2010
Listen
to the band!
Agood
band will be able play appropriately in regards
to volume and musical style depending upon certain
times and stages of an event. Being able
to switch musical gears, volume, and intensity
is a hallmark of an outstanding professional band.
The streaming audio sample below demonstrates
just that. It is a live recording from the
2010 New Year's Eve performance at The Fairmont
Olympic Hotel. This recording gives a sense
of the flow and arc of the event from the beginning,
leading up to the countdown, the rollicking celebration,
and to the end of the night. This is a good
demonstration of how the band would handle the
flow of an event such as a wedding reception,
company party, and in this case, a New Year's
Eve bash. The medley of songs is varied
and in a real context to showcase the wide versatility
of the group, its outstanding musicianship, and
stellar showmanship. Enjoy!

It
was a pleasure for us as well. You have a great
band there. You have no idea how much I personally
enjoyed your tunes. I kept getting shushed at my
table for singing along with your standards. Especially
your longer version of "I Thought About You".
My favorite Gershwin tune of all time.
