Done by H.S. students, seen in Middle School. I had also seen a flier on a store window that read "This Time" at Plainview H.S. My confusion came with questions of who were putting on the performance, High School or Middle School students and if there were two different schools with two different performances. Unsure,I called the JFK H.S. during business hours. The office woman said that she was unfamiliar with the "This Time" information and reinforced info of the High School production and its location. Location: Performed at: POB Middle School. A $15.00-dollar ticket at the door with a $12.00 advanced purchase * and honoring Senior Citizens; this performance was free to them. I walked in from a sunny day to a transformed day and time on stage for yet another performance of Mamma Mia that was equally fine and beautifully adapted, with a lot of students, a smallish stage, concise choreography, and effective affects. Or is that affective effects? Ok, **o English teachers, where are you? It doesn't work without all the puzzle pieces. Adaption is the key, to working with what you have and improvising as you go along; particularly the behind the scene staff and crew and all the hard work to make it look easy when the final productions come together. There were many people to acknowledge in this process. The Orchestra was at floor level front and center and was well directed with smooth transitions from song to song. The movements of the percussion members added to my enjoyment as they followed, tapped and sang along in some spots. The voices: and expressions were fine from both the male and female rolls along with the background singers filling in. The dancers: coming off stage to sing within the aisles added to the uplifting spirit of audience participation. So maybe not everyone was up and dancing in this performance, but I bet some of the senior crowd were clapping along. The outfits and costumes were, again, I want to use the word effective. (am I the only one who doesn't know the correct word definitions here?) I loved the scene with the young men dancing in "flippers". Also, the black light green hats caught the feeling of flow in the dream sequence. One thing I thought I noticed, was an outfit from the trunk was in gold but when the girls came out to sing, they were in silver bling. Though all of it, had such pretty colors. Upon entering the school there were raffles for sale of different prices, colors and choices with bags in front of the baskets, to place tickets and a 50/50. Though I could see much efforts in the set up and work involved in presenting and selling them, I had no clarity of how to know when to check my tickets.I didn't recall hearing in opening announcements, anything about, checking the list to see if you had won, after the show. (One would think this is common sense but sometimes the winner doesn't have to be present) So, at the end of the show, I did go over and I was directed to a clearly written paper with the winning numbers. Alas I was one number off. All in all, this was an entertaining performance and I shall keep an eye out for others in the future.

From our first interactions with Bob, the owner, we knew we wanted to work together and valued his personability and flexibility to align with our vision and expectations. Bob was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions promptly. We booked the Metropolis band, and we were blown away. Metropolis consists of some of the most talented musicians and masters at their craft. - they are rockstars and threw us the party of a lifetime! During the reception, the band kept everyone on their feet all night! Every member of Metropolis has incredible talent. They performed every song, including our requested songs with energy and passion. We loved that they interacted with the crowd and they truly seemed like they were enjoying every minute of it. We loved their plan for the flow of the evening, which maximized the time on the dance floor - we've attended other weddings where this was not the case, and it was very noticeable! So many of our guests raved about how good the band was, and have asked for their information to recommend them for future weddings - everyone enjoyed themselves so much and all of our guests were out on the dance floor all night. Our guests were raving about the band for days after our wedding and we definitely recommend them to anyone. We truly did not want the night to end, just so we could continue dancing and partying with Metropolis. We also had live music through Faze 4 for our ceremony (violin & keyboard) and cocktail hour (sax & keyboard.) And we were absolutely thrilled! Thank you to Bob & Metropolis for truly making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!

And a bad band can make things go sour pretty quickly as well. Fortunately for the wedding I attended this weekend, Scott Yanney Band (which apparently is one of the featured bands of Faze 4 entertainment) is one of the good ones. They had everyone on the dance floor within seconds (then again, they had a fun crowd to work with- my new family!) and we didn't stop shaking our booties all night long. I've got the blisters on my feet to prove it!

However, the one thing that I did always dream of was having a string quartet at my wedding. Maybe it was those two years of viola in middle school...or maybe it is just something about the culmination of the strings coming together that is just so beautiful... We found Luminous Sounds while at a bridal event after having gotten recently engaged in spring of 2015. After listening and meeting with them, we knew we had to have them play for our wedding. Kim was probably the best and easiest vendor we communicated with from the get-go. She made everything so EASY and was always there if we had any questions on anything. The music they play ranges from classical to upbeat, pop and contemporary. How many grooms can say they walked down to Taylor Swift's (hubby's secret guilty pleasure...shhhh) "Love Story"? They even learned a song for me to walk down to by one of my favorite all-time bands, The Decemberists (The Hazards of Love 4). For whatever reason, the excitement of the day, my dad walking me too fast down the aisle..I didn't get to really hear this song, but it's all okay. Even the photographer commented on how great they were and that they played Metallica while people got to their seats. All in all, the perfect background to our ceremony and the music tailored to our tastes and preferences. We couldn't be happier, and highly recommend Luminous Sounds string quartet - a superbly talented group of women.
