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

 

"To those seeking a party band,

These guys are great!!  We have used Party Train time and again at all levels of corporate parties, and they never failed-not only make themselves look good-but also make me look good for hiring them.  Their musicianship, energy and showmanship are unparalleled.  They're not only musicians, but also entertainers (which makes all the difference)!

They have played for us in front of crowds ranging from the very large (5,000+) to the very small (our executive committee) and have always delivered a top-notch performance, no matter the occasion.  The front man is super fast-on-his-feet, and his wit and ease with the crowd has come in handy many, many times like when we've needed to fill time, stretch something out or cut something short.  So, if you want an amazing band at a reasonable price, this is the band for you."

"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,"

Party of Five,

"Thanks!! I just wanted to tell you that the band (party of five) did an amazing job! People are still talking about how wonderful you were and as you know my parents were thrilled. Even Millcreek Inn said that you were one of the best acts they have ever had up there. I will definitely recommend you to people in the future. And have already passed your info on once. People still talk about the band....and what a great wedding it was!

I hope our paths cross again. Thanks for adding to such a wonderful wedding celebration! "

"Michael,

Thank you for your wonderful German band.  We were having no success finding a German band.  Thanks to you, you used your connections and pulled together a 4 piece band making our event a huge success. 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..."

"Dear Party Train:

Thank You" seems inadequate praise for the fabulous show you put on at our recent LIFE Expo.  The rave reviews just keep pouring in about the great music and high energy your band created from the get-go.

I have truly never seen anything like it at a corporate event.  I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical as to whether you could bring such a diverse audience together through your music.  But it was clear from the start that you fully intended to create a memorable evening for our employees.

Dave (the band leader) was tremendous at engaging with our audience and the other vocalists and band members were perfectly in sync to create an evening that exceeded our expectations in every way. I suppose the ultimate compliment and endorsement would be the fact that even after extending your final set, our group was reluctant to let you go.  Just like Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady", We could have danced all night!!

You truly helped us create a new benchmark for promoting energy and excitement within our company family."

Sincerely,

Kathy Whitehead- Manager, Marketing Communications Autoliv North America

 

"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.  We love Party Train!

"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."
