"Grad School are a talented and well organised band. They enhanced our wedding reception, playing music that all our guests enjoyed and danced to.
We have since received many compliments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the Grad School. They also have a DJ option with a vast array of music tracks.
Overall an excellent and entertaining band that we would not hesitate to recommend or book again through the Alive Network."

"Grad School are consummate professionals. We hardly knew they were there until they began to play, but at that point the dancefloor was full from the start of their set to the end.
We offered them a list of our favourite tracks on their playlist, and they based their choices very much on what we'd asked for, without sticking slavishly to the list, which we didn't want. I would recommend them to anyone.
The sound balance was perfect, no-one complained about it being too loud, not even the oldies, and the performance was just amazingly polished, even when we requested a song that wasn't on their playlist for our first dance. Thank you so much Grad School, we will definitely have you back if we need a live band in the future, you were fantastic and made our day."

"Seth,
Had intended to drop you a line.
The band were excellent. Nice guys, turned up on time, brought a very impressive array of equipment and were very professional.
All the guests asked who they were and where I had found them and the overwhelming opinion expressed since the party is that the band were 'brilliant'! Although my version of "Rio" may not have been the highlight of the night...
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and they are certainly a great advert for Alive Network.
Thanks for your help too, you handled the booking and the follow-up very well indeed - many thanks.
Mike

"You & the band were all really, really fantastic - in the words of Simon Cowell (or was it Nicky Chapman?) - you blew me away! The band was fab, and loads of people have since told us how great they thought you all were.
Thanks again, Pip
