A function band is a live music band which performs at different functions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate functions, private parties, events and the like. Depending upon the kind of party you are having and the genre of music that you want to be played, you need to select you function band carefully and make all necessary pre-arrangements for a grandly successful function which remain in the minds of the guests for years to come.
There are some logistical issues you should take care of before hiring a function band. For instance, you have to check up with the venue of the party regarding whether they possess the proper music license to allow a band to perform at their premises. And if so, is there any time limit or sound limits for the same? Coming up at the last minutes, these commonly forgotten important details can ruin all your arrangements and so it is always better to be sure than be sorry at the last minute.
There are some easy ways to find about function bands. You can look in the Yellow pages. You can Google it in the internet. You can ask an event management agency. There are always some references available from your friends or relatives. First, you select the function band. Then talk to them. Either let them suggest or you discuss with them what kind of music will best fit your party. If you are confident about the choice of music, then search for the function band that has the best reputation of playing your kind of music.
Remember that referrals and word of mouth are always safer since going by only internet source, you might end up with a wrong band altogether. Even if you do shortlist from the net, make sure you check their official website or social networking fan page and do a bit of research from their songs and video clippings, fan reviews, etc.
If money is not a problem, then you can hire an event management agency and give them the total responsibility of hiring the function band. In this way, it is much safer to have the party without ant hitches or troubles as the agency will take care of every minute details of the arrangements.
There are various kinds of function bands performing in the market today. Depending on the events they cater to, they can be professionally wedding, corporate and any other private function bands. Be it a themed wedding function, a corporate function for a product launch or a deal win celebration, a birthday party or even a private party for your recent promotion, such function bands need to be versatile so as to be able to play hits from the '60's to the latest chart toppers and have something for everybody.
Again, a function band can also be categorized in depending on the genre of music they play. A function band can specialize in any type of music, from the golden oldies to rock & roll, from acid rock to punk rock, from psychedelic rock to heavy metal, from jazz to pop or from country to rhythm & blues. If you have already decided up on the genre of music you want to have in your party, just choose the band that excels in that genre and hire it.
Now that all nitty gritty related to function bands have been discussed, decide the band. Sit with them and discuss the theme of the party and songs you want them to play. Discuss the bands requirements at the venue and check if the venue can accommodate those requirements. When all is settled hire the band and have a great party.
