-Kate S. January 6, 2007They were great! Everyone was complimenting me on the band. A ton of people told me it wasthe best dance they had ever been to at Collegiate. They were the perfect
combination of old, new, and everything in between!-Collegiate HS Senior Dance, May 17, 2008
We enjoyed the party tremendously. Everyone was amazed by your performance--BS&M is fabulous! So many guests inquired about and complimented you. Obviously, when searching for a band, I looked for one that had a great sound. I feel fortunate that I found a band with a wonderful sound and a great personality. You all seem to enjoy what you do and that was shining through. Thank you for being so professional and prompt. Great communication definitely puts the party planner at ease. Hopefully, we won't have to wait another 10 years to see you perform. We will have to plan a "special" party so that we can have that much fun again. Thank you so much for making our party such a wonderful experience.

Dear Dave,
I am not sure I can begin to explain how wonderful you guys were at
our wedding!! You and your band were so wonderful and talented. I
got so many compliments on your sound and diversity in music. Also,
I really appreicate you playing our first dance song. I realized I
gave you this song with a few days of the wedding. The fact that
you were able to play and sing it perfectly was truely amazing.
Thank you! Thank you! I have so many wonderful memories of the
dancing from 'Feelin' Good' to 'Purple Rain.' It just doesn't get
any better. Thank you again!!!!!!!! My mom lives in Charlottesville
(as does many of the guests) and I know she will recommend you to
everyone she knows.- Annalise and Ben, October 20, 2007
