Sax Appeal prides itself on adhering to the following professional fundamentals:
Live Sound Quality
We will exceed your expectations from a musical perspective. All musicians hired by Sax Appeal are true professionals and members of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada. Most players have >30 years of experience playing live music (each) and have performed individually with almost every other kind of band you can think of. Everything we play is pleasant to the ear and is sure to impress.
Equipment
Sax Appeal and any musical group we provide bring all of their own equipment for an acoustic performance and can easily connect with any on-site sound system. While amplification can be arranged depending on the location and needs of your event, there really is not much ‘gear’ for a performance featuring our all-saxophone ensemble. The most we may require is an electrical outlet.
If your event requires additional technical equipment, sound, and lights, stages, or any other details, we work with you to make it happen.
Attention To Detail
We will exceed your expectations from an organizational and logistical perspective.
Our presentation is second to none! Depending on what kind of feel you wish to portray, Sax Appeal is comfortable playing in either tuxedos for formal events, or we would be pleased to tailor our outfits to adhere to suit your needs. For example – Having a backyard wedding anniversary party in the middle of the summer and wish us to wear shorts and a t-shirt? No problem. It would be our pleasure.
Fedoras (of course) are always a stable part of every performance for any all-saxophone ensemble we provide!
Versatility
Versatility is one of the most important services we specialize in!
We understand the need for flexibility and will always work with you to help make sure your event is a complete success.
Whether you have been organizing your event for a few hours or a few hundred hours, sometimes even the most organized plans need to be tweaked at the last minute. Should any of your circumstances ever change either before or during your special event, we will adapt and work together to provide seamless services so that your needs are not only fulfilled, but surpassed.
Depending on your needs, the Sax Appeal all-saxophone ensemble can either stand or sit while performing, or even physically move in the middle of a set from one room to another (or even outside) to better accommodate your event.
As an active member of the Canadian Federation of Musicians (Musicians’ Association of Ottawa-Gatineau Local 180), we can help find any other kind of musical talent that you or your clients may need. Perhaps your event calls for a more traditional jazz ensemble , a singer, rock band, big band or anything in-between, it would be our pleasure to assist. As music is our business, we only work with professionals whose job it is to make your event a complete success.
