The Rendezvous Dance Band, consisting of piano/vocals, bass/vocals, guitar, drums, trumpet, saxophones/clarinet/flute, trombone, lead female vocals, and lead male vocals, performed for the 18th consecutive year for the Old Dominion Cotillion Ball at the Westfields International Conference Center.

The event began with presentations of the Pages, Pre-Debutantes, Post Debutantes, and Alumni, each with an appropriate song selection, followed by the formal presentations of each debutante with their own personal song selection, as arranged by Connie Olivera specifically for this event. Dinner music, a variety of dance music, and a grand march to “Radetsky’s March” continued the evening, with the dance floor packed at every moment. Cadettes from the Virginia Military Academy assist each year with this event, adding to the grandeur and military element as is customary for a debutante ball.

A truly grand affair!

Corporate Music Entertainment in Washington, DC

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

For the Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, DC, Olivera Music Entertainment provided three corporate music entertainment performances.  At the APhA Building, a Guitar Trio entertained guests.  At the DAR Constitution Hall, a Jazz Trio kept the atmosphere moving with the groove.  At Teatro Goldini, a solo guitarist provided the entertainment.

Providing a variety of music entertainment for various events requires many planning logistics.  Each separate venue offers challenges relating to load-in procedures, security pre-screening procedures, electrical requirements, room acoustics, and storage capabilities, to name a few.  Having an experienced event producer ensures your events will run smoothly, no matter how many locations you use.
