A marching band, The Stone Bridge High School Marching Bulldogs from Ashburn, Virginia, provided a patriotic flair to a corporate event at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort. Entering through back doors to maintain an element of surprise, this Virginia Honors Band Ensemble entered the ballroom performing a “Main Street America” Medley. Conference attendees with ties to the military were asked to stand as the band performed “This Land is Your Land”. The band reassembled outside, performing selections from Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” as associates left the closing session.

Successful Entertainment Production
Tip #3 Music As a Role Player
The role of music for a special event requires careful planning in order to achieve your desired goal. Each event is unique, as is the role of the musicians unique. Consider the following scenarios:
- Atmosphere, and more atmosphere. It may change throughout your event, and the music needs to change alongside it
- From solemn to lively, or a mix anywhere in between; what tempo do you envision throughout your event?
- Is there a theme? Let the music accompany your decor to enhance and give life to your theme. There are endless possibilities.
- Is the music to be strictly background? Is the music for background with a bit dancing? Is the music meant to get everyone on the dance floor? Is the music a featured act looking to capture everyone’s attention? Is the music meant to make everyone clap their hands?
- The music sets the tone at a special event. Make it memorable!

Olivera Music Entertainment was proud to be the Music Entertainment partner, providing music entertainment and production services, along with Visit Loudoun and the National Conference Center for the Annual Convention of the Virginia Society of Association Executives. For the first time in 16 years, Northern Virginia hosted this prestigious group. Loudoun County pulled out all the stops, showing off the incredible opportunities available to meeting planners in this area, including winery tours, golfing, historic tours, team building and culinary demonstrations.
Olivera worked with Visit Loudoun on a welcome reception at the Lansdowne Resort. The event was a Hunt Country theme. The “Shenandoah Trio” provided fine classical music as guests first entered the Clubhouse Ballroom. In keeping with the theme, the trio switched over to Country and Bluegrass music.
The next evening the National Conference Center hosted a Gala dinner to close the Convention. Pianist Connie Olivera provided background music for cocktails. Sunset Hills Vineyard winemaker Nate Walsh shared his passion for wine and information about the amazing wine pairings he brought to the table with Executive Chef Craig Mason’s fabulous dinner. The Three Waiters surprised guests during dinner with a spectacular show.
Loudoun County is a fantastic place for your next meeting or special event!
