Client Feedback
Susan G., Des Plaines:
I highly recommend the dupage band for anyone planning an event with music that requires “something for everyone.” Not
only does dupage band provide variety, but they do it with great stage presence and a truly unique style of engaging with the
audience. It is clear that the band members truly enjoy what they do, and it showed in their energetic performance. Besides
their performance, I couldn’t be more pleased with the band’s preparation before the event.
Kim H., Wheeling
Thanks for a great show last night! I’ve heard rave reviews about how fun the band was and getting the crowds into it. Our
gate total was almost 900 people! Please keep us in mind for next summer – we’d love to have you back!
Michael H., Lake Forest
Dupage Band performed at a back yard college/high school graduation party for 150 people. Their performance was
professional and superb. They managed to get both the adults and the kids singing and dancing together....no easy feat. The
set list was a perfect mix of oldies and newer popular songs that can be enjoyed by everyone. A great night!
Miranda E., Milwaukee
I highly, highly recommend this band! They played my graduation event and really, really impressed me!! I hadn't seen or
heard the band before (other than the samples available online) and was nervous to hire a band, sight unseen/unheard.
However, they far surpassed my expectations and blew my guests away! They were super fun and entertaining, took few
breaks, knew a great deal of music and even learned new songs per my request. They also seem to really enjoy what they do!
Book this band, you will not regret it :) Many accolades will come your way, and you will look good for booking such an
awesome band!! Seriously, I give them 10 stars!
