  2. Appropriate events this type of band. 
    Because of the band's varied repertoire, the band could fit in to quite a few venues. We can custom select pieces from the current season's repertoire, and may be able include one or two specially requested pieces given sufficient notice. Think of us for:


    Art and Wine Festival


    Company BBQ or Party
    Holiday Event Corporate Celebration
    Store / Park Opening Community Affair
    Ceremony/Dedication Event Kickoff
  3. Cost to have the band perform.
    In these cost conscious days, the SJMB is surprisingly reasonable. Average pricing usually ranges from $600 to $1200 depending on many circumstances. Performance engagements usually run from 1 to 2 hours, and considering there are some 45 musicians, it is a bargain indeed. Note that all fees are negotiable, and other factors such as publicity, crowd, sound system, etc., may factor into the final contract price.
  4.  Booking the band.
    All you'll need to do is contact  David Brown  (408) 623-4167 with whom you can work out the performance specifics: date, time, duration, pricing, venue, etc.
