Wedding
ceremony
music
|
Interested
in
having
a
microphone
and
live
or
pre-recorded
music
at
your
ceremony?
If
yes,
the
Pressure
Point
Band
has
several
options
for
you.
Most
weddings
that
have
more
than
100
guests
will
at
least
need
a
microphone
and
sound
system
for
the
officiant
and
other
speakers;
otherwise
guests
may
not
be
able
to
hear
what
is
said
during
the
ceremony.
Also,
most
ceremonies
have
music,
live
or
pre-recorded.
The
Pressure
Point
Band
can
provide
all
this
for
you
easily
and
at
significant
cost
savings
since
it
is
a
simple
upgrade
to
your
booking
of
the
Pressure
Point
Band
for
your
reception.

you
might
want
to
consider

Gift
CDs
|
It
has
been
brought
to
our
attention
that
many
of
our
clients
want
unique
or
personalized
items
to
give
as
gifts
to
their
guests
for
weddings
and
company
events.
Quite
a
few
of
our
past
clients
have
purchased
copies
of
Michael
Winkle’s
CD
“This
Dance”
for
that
purpose.
Michael
is
the
leader
of
the
Pressure
Point
Band
and
the
CD
is
a
compilation
of
timeless
standards
and
original
music
that
has
a
broad
appeal
and
has
garnered
rave
reviews
from
jazz
radio
station
KMHD
and
regional
jazz
reviewer,
George
Fendel.
This
is
a
fairly
inexpensive
gift
that
will
last
a
lifetime
and
always
bring
back
memories
of
your
wonderful
event.

Video
slide
shows
|
They
say
a
picture
is
worth
a
thousand
words.
I
wonder
what
they
would
say
about
a
big
screen,
digital
slide
show
with
full
motion
video
capabilities,
put
to
music
at
your
special
event?
For
weddings,
imagine
your
friends
and
family
having
cocktails
or
dining
with
a
digital
slide
show
or
video
presentation
showing
the
story
of
you
and
your
special
someone.
For
a
birthday
you
could
show
pictures
of
the
birthday
boy
or
the
birthday
girl
throughout
their
life.
Graduation
events
could
feature
pictures
of
the
graduates
and
exciting
moments
throughout
their
high
school
years.
Even
corporate
events
could
enjoy
a
slide
show…
pie
charts
to
music
anyone?
We
provide
a
large
screen,
projector,
computer
(if
needed),
and
music.

Dance
instruction
|
From
one-of-a-kind
choreographed
first
dances
for
couples
prepared
and
taught
in
advance
of
the
event,
to
interactive
group
lessons
taught
during
events,
our
dance
instructors
do
it
all.
Professionally
trained
instructors
teach
ballroom
dancing,
country
styles,
line-dances
and
more.
Competing
in
various
dance
competitions
annually,
our
instructors
are
great
dancers
themselves
and
can
surely
help
you
get
the
steps
down.
Ballroom
styles
that
we
teach
are
salsa,
swing,
cha-cha,
merengue,
rumba,
tango,
samba,
mambo,
foxtrot,
and
the
waltz.
Some
of
the
country
styles
we
teach
are
the
electric

Early
set
up
|
As
part
of
our
standard
offering
we
setup
and
complete
our
sound
check
30
minutes
prior
to
our
contracted
start
time
at
no
additional
cost
to
our
customers.
However,
on
some
occasions
our
customers
require
that
the
band
complete
its
setup
earlier
than
30
minutes
before
playtime.
That
of
course
requires
additional
time
for
the
band
and
therefore
will
incur
an
additional
fee
for
that
time.
The
fee
will
vary
based
on
where
the
event
is
and
how
early
the
setup
is
to
take
place.
If
an
early
setup
is
of
interest
to
you
please
let
us
know
when
we
are
creating
your
price
quote.

Break
disc
jockey
|
Playing
live
music
is
hard
work
and
therefore
bands
take
breaks.
In
each
hour
of
playtime
our
band
will
break
for
15
minutes.
During
that
time
we
play
pre
recorded
background
music
so
that
the
music
never
stops.
However,
if
you
want
to
keep
the
party
upbeat
and
dancing
during
the
break
time
then
you
should
consider
ordering
our
break
DJ.
The
break
DJ
will
keep
the
music
going
and
the
attention
on
the
dance
floor
without
adding
much
to
the
overall
cost.
The
break
DJ
uses
a
computer
based
audio
system
that
runs
through
the
same
speakers
that
the
band
uses,
brings
more
than
10,000
songs,
takes
requests
and
makes
announcements
durring
the
breaks.

Overtime
and
tips
|
If
the
party
is
going
really
well
at
the
end
of
the
night
and
you
wish
to
extend
your
party
the
Pressure
Point
Band
is
always
available
for
an
extra
set.
Many
of
our
parties
are
extended
and
we
bill
that
extra
set
at
$75.00
per
musician.
A
set
consists
of
45
minutes
of
playing
time.
This
is
usually
arranged
in
the
latter
stages
of
an
event.
In
regards
to
tipping
the
band,
the
amount
is
entirely
up
to
the
discretion
of
the
purchaser.
Tipping
is
not
expected
but
obviously
appreciated
as
an
expression
of
appreciation
for
a
job
well
done..

Special
song
requests
|
Need
a
special
song
played?
The
Pressure
Point
Band
covers
a
wide
variety
of
songs
however,

occasion
our

one

per
event,
free
of
charge.

charge
$25.00
per
each
additional
special
request
thereafter.

4
weeks
in

Preview
the
band
live
|
We
highly
recommend
seeing
the
Pressure
Point
Band
perform
in
a
live
setting
before
hiring,
if
possible.
Many
times
we
can
facilitate
a
preview
at
a
private
event,
with
the
client’s
consent
of
course.
We
have
roughly
1-2
events
every
week
in
and
around
the
Northwest.
Another
effective
opportunity
is
to
attend
a
rehearsal
where
the
band
can
play
a
set
that
is
more
suited
to
your
personal
tastes.
The
rehearsal
is
also
a
great
opportunity
to
meet
the
band
members.
We
typically
rehearse
2-3
times
a
month
in
Portland.
