NCRO BOOKING PAGE

What do you get, how much and
what are our requirements?

The NC Revelers are a fine choice to bring excitement to your next event. We provide quality entertainment for your party, adding an element of "showbiz" usually associated with the heyday of Hollywood or Las Vegas. Wedding receptions, fundraising events, local dances, conventions, trade shows, private parties, concerts...you name it, we can handle it. If your event is something we are not a good fit for we will tell you up front and try to assist you in finding the entertainment you need.

It is best to plan as far ahead as you can. Popular holiday dates (Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentines Day, etc.) are often booked more than 6 months in advance. Securing a confirmed booking date now will prevent disappointment. Events are booked most often for three or four-hour events (this includes one customary break per hour). We can also perform in concert if desired. Prices are based on the specific times and needs of your event. If the proposed performance venue is located more than two hour's driving time from Raleigh, there may be a surcharge for transportation (bus rental) and/or overnight accommodations. We will be happy to quote a definite price as soon as we know the exact requirements of the engagement (how long, how far, etc.).

Our band is a large one in the manner of the great road orchestras of Les Brown, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Count Basie.

While smaller bands can play the same tunes, we strive for the depth and clarity that only full classic Big Band instrumentation can provide. The space requirements for a full band are essentially identical to those of a "cut down" 12 or 14 piece band. We feel that this wonderful music deserves to be played by the instrumentation it was written for with no corners cut even if it means we make a few dollars less for doing it right. We always have one vocalist and usually two in addition to the full band. We provide our own sound system and customized band equipment. Here are the physical requirements:

There are two basic configurations. Normally the band prefers to set up in three rows in a 24 foot square area. In some venues an optional wide setup may be necessary and the requirement for this is 36 feet wide but only 16 feet deep.
