    Live Entertainment More Exciting, Christmas Party Band

    By Susan Crowley

    There are many different types of Christmas parties that would benefit from hiring a Christmas party band instead of having guests listen to a staticy radio station that plays the same tired old music. A large holiday house party for friends and neighbors; a children's party or an office Christmas party would be more entertaining, more fun and give people something to do.

    Using some of a Christmas party budget for a live Christmas singing group or band of musicians from a local school or church would give guests more to look forward to than what is customarily a boring type of office Christmas party.

    With a live band playing Christmas music, part of the evening could be dedicated to playing musical games like Name That Tune or the ever popular musical chairs. These games accompanied by music are not only for the younger crowds, adult would enjoy them as well, especially with a live band keeping pace with the competition.

    Christmas music played by a group of musicians at someone's home holiday party would have more of the guests dancing and singing instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for a chance to exit. What a nice surprise for guest when they arrive to find a live group of musicians taking requests for not only the traditional Christmas songs, but some of the newer ones as well.

    Christmas carols were written to be shared with a group of friends and family and a live band accompanying along with a party of carolers would make a nice treat. The band could play popular tunes and some older ones as guests mingle throughout the evening and while they depart.

    In order for the person in charge of the Christmas office party or holiday assembly to see the entertainment before the big event, they should seek them out, watch and listen to their other performances at area venues. This will give the person signing the check for the band a chance to hear and see if they are going to be getting their moneys worth.

    Teens and younger children, awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus would enjoy listening and singing along with a live band belting out old and new Christmas songs and carols. The band could also play lively music during the gift exchange portion of the party. If a band knew some of the newer, funnier Christmas songs like Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and then performed some of the older, more traditional songs, children would really like that.

    A hospital, schools with different ages and grades or a retirement home are all good places to have a Christmas party with a live band playing songs of today and yesterday. A party organizer would look good in the eyes of the attendees if they were to schedule a live band for entertainment.

    If holding a Christmas party for a church group or religious organization, a Christmas party band that specializes in Christian or holy music might be ideal although the band could mix their playlist with traditional Christmas carols and songs to give a more well rounded performance.
