    Hey Michael,  
    Greetings from Bali!  We couldn't stop talking on the plane about how the Groove Merchants really made the day for us.  You guys kept the dance floor rockin and presented a polished look that was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for the part you and the band played in making our big day perfect.
    Josh Priest - Wedding at MillCreek Inn


    Michael,

    Thank you so much for all of your wonderful music!  Matthew and I checked out kind of early - just slightly exhausted! - but we heard that you (the Utah Swing Orchestra) had people dancing until the wee hours of the morning! Thank you so much! I've never seen my parents have that much fun. In fact, I think that was the first time I've ever seen them on the dance floor! We were thrilled with all that you did!

     
    Thanks Again,

    Jamie Obrien- Wedding in Sun Valley, Idaho

     

    All of the band members were so professional but also were very friendly. We would love to have them play at our event next year and will definitely recommend them to others.

    "Today I received a phone call from the Vice President of Student Activities at Southern Utah University, asking me about the band I brought in for the SUU Winter Formal.  Your band (the Utah Swing Orchestra) did an amazing job and our committee was more than pleased with how your band played, the selection of music and the level of professionalism that your band members showed. Thank you again. I know that SUU is planning on bringing you back and I would recommend you to anyone.
    Thank you,"

    "Michael,

    Thank you for your wonderful German band.  We were having no success finding a German band.  The band was a pure delight; they had tremendous energy and were even using authentic German sheet music. Given the less than three weeks notice to make this happen, I can't thank you enough and would highly recommend your services to anyone.

    Thank you again. Best regards..."

    Stephen,
    I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! The band was amazing! Everytime I thought that I would sit out the next dance the band would start another song that I loved so I would have to dance again. My legs were killing me the next day! :) Everyone has been commenting on the lady singer as well. She was fantastic, please tell her so! The band's rendition of our request, The Dirty Glass, was fun and we loved it!!! Thanks for making our wedding reception sound so great and for MCing the party. It wouldn't have been fabulous and meaningful without The Bandits!

    "Dear Michael:

    In behalf of the Superintendents of Utah, I want to thanks you for the music your group (jazz trio) provided at the annual Superintendents Summer Conference.  Thank you for adding that special touch in your music and presentation that made the evening banquet extremely enjoyable."

    Gary Cameron- Executive Director Utah School Superintendents Association


    "Awesome music you gave us Friday night!  I couldn't believe how crowded the dance floor was all night.  Thanks so much, your band made the party a huge success, it will be difficult to top it next year!

    We will be contacting you early next year to reserve our annual company party date in July.

    Hi Michael -- Thank you so much for the concert on Saturday ( Utah Swing Orchestra.) According to all reports it went off beautifully and the audience was well rewarded for coming.  Take care and I hope we can have a repeat.  Please thank the band for me.

    This Band was amazing, so professional and extremely talented. I would definitely hire them again. They were easy to work with and needed very little accommodations or direction, they just knew what to do and made the night great!

    Cory Driscoll - Groom


    "Mike,

    Thank you!  Your jazz combo exceeded even my high expectations.  The music was wonderful and not the least bit intrusive or inappropriate.  You are free to use my comments or me as a reference in your advertising.  I would highly recommend the group."

    Mike,

    Josh and I just wanted to thank you and the band for making our reception a truly magical and memorable evening!  The band was FANTASTIC and definitely set the tone of the night.  I had numerous compliments on them and I was so impressed with their professionalism, talent, and skill.  We can't thank you enough and would be happy to spread the word about your services, thank you!

    Josh & Lindsey Bean

     

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for coming and playing for us--you made the party awesome!  I wish I had had the presence of mind to come and meet each of the band members and thank them personally.  You all truly did a terrific job and made the whole thing loads of fun for everyone.  I wish I had several more events to plan, so I could hire you again and again, but at the very least I will recommend you to everyone I know in Utah.

    Again, thanks so much for your cool, confident musicianship and fun-loving professionalism.

    Melissa Kelly - Bride
