Think of it like a t-bar on water. Passes and equipment are all available at the site if you do not have your own. I believe the pass was for about 3 hours and if you are new, then there could be a wait for the cable each time you go. Luckily for me, doing 2 or 3 rounds was what I could possibly take, but I'm glad I got to try this sport out. I was definitely beat. The surrounding area is chill if you want to sit by the quarry with a beer and listen to the live band, no additional fee to enter, just pay to park.

We just attended a wedding this past weekend in Chicago and the hit of the evening (besides the…read morebride & groom) was the David Rothstein Band. Not only did he make the evening flow with ease, the band provided an unforgettable vibe with a piano and violin player. The dance floor was packed the entire evening and a good time was had by ALL!

A Great Wedding Band…read more Wedding Date 2.1.25 As Father of the Bride, I thought that DSR Music was the best and that the music helps make the wedding reception a great and memorable one. The band members and vocalists are so talented and energetic in all genres of music making each song fun to dance to. The dance floor was packed all night and we received complements for weeks about the quality of the band and how much fun the wedding was. David Rothstein does a great job as the MC for the night but the benefits of using DSR start long before the wedding day. David takes the time to get to know the wedding couple and their family, understand what is important to them at the wedding, learn the type of music they are interested in hearing and provides special touches for the bride and groom. I think so highly of DSR Music that I used them for my oldest daughter's wedding in 2016 and my niece used them as well.

They are one of those bands that 30 seconds into the first song you know you made the right choice, and your guests know they're in for a hell of a night. Working with John was super easy, and the family aspect the band has really helps you stay at ease throughout the process. We cannot recommend BFTP enough, and are looking forward to telling people we had them back when! Thank you guys and girls so much for making our wedding so fun!

If I can give them a million stars, I would! We booked BFTP for our wedding, and all of our guests…read moreare still talking about how great they were. They really made our wedding day! I almost feel a little guilty because I was on the dance floor the whole time. But like the prior review said, they were so good, the dance floor was packed! Prior to the wedding, me, my husband, mom and dad thought we would see them first at a bar before we sealed the deal. We were walking thru the parking lot and I could hear them and already knew. When we walked in the bar we were greeted by the wife (sorry, forgot her name). But so sweet. Paid the cover charge and within minutes we were on the dance floor! SOLD! John was great thruoughout the coming days for our wedding. He thought of things I didnt, and the contract was so easy. They really wanted to make it special for us. The day of the wedding, they blew our mind! They surprised us with so many extra things, beyond our expectations. The band was the hit of the night so much that my family wants to do it again. My greatest memory of my wedding is BFTP, it will always be, and our family and friends will be the biggest fans!

To watch her light up when being apart of such an inviting and upbeat atmosphere keeps me wanting to come back. Mr. Nick is an incredible musician. He knows how to bring all the parents and babies together with his songs, style and rhythm. My only hope is to have this on the weekends for when I have to go back to work!! Super grateful for this gem for families needing that community engagement for their little ones.

Not to mention that now anyone, anywhere can take classes with Mr. Dave. Mr. Dave is just as great and engaging in the virtual classes as he is in person. The sound is really nice, the set is cute, and Mr. Dave has his animal "friends" there dancing along with us. There is a lot of active movement, which is great considering we are staying inside for much of the time. By the end of the class, we have danced, jumped, sang, done sign language, learned about instruments and animals and our ABCs and all kinds of things. The price point on the virtual classes is great and the times they offer are convenient. Can't wait to be back in the studio... but for now - we love the Mr. Dave Music 'Virtual Experience'!
