Work Parties Do Not Have to Be Boring: If you are looking to improve your reputation as a boss, considering an office party band for the next party might be a good step. Little work perks, like an amazing yearly work party, can create solidarity in the office and improve workplace morale. There is something very special about seeing quality live music. Here are a few suggestions for a successful office party.
Take a Survey: Ask your colleagues what kinds of music they prefer. This information will be useful in genre selection. While many bands can tailor their set-lists to audience, if most of the office likes traditional rock and roll, this will be helpful in the selection process. All of this information may be compiled in a list to present to prospective bands.
Locate the Stage: A stage does not have to be built for the party. The stage area may be made by clearing away some garbage cans from a walkway area. It is just important for there to be an open area for people to watch the band, and a spot for the musical group to plug in their instruments if necessary. The band will also be able to tell you about their specific space needs. Many of them are used to playing in different environments and are generally flexible.
Speak with the Office Party Band: Many talented bands perform at weddings or parties, and their skill entertaining people can translate well to the office. Ask the band if they are able to perform genres or songs that your colleagues prefer. If they do not know the songs, ask them if they would be willing to learn some new songs for the party.
Listening to the Band: This is not always necessary, but you could ask the group if you could hear them before the office party. Some bands will agree to a brief audition. Other bands have a video available for viewing of a past show. Instead of listening to the band, sometimes a band will refer you to another company that may be able to speak on their behalf. Office parties with live entertainment have become more popular in recent years, so client referral is rather common.
Choosing the Songs: The band may be willing to take requests during the event. If the group is willing to do this, the singer can communicate this information to the group at the beginning of the party. Otherwise the group can perform songs from the genres that you have already agreed upon.
Publicize the Party!: You can let your colleagues know that you will be doing something a little different by hand delivering little band fliers publicizing the show. Another alternative is to have the band be a complete surprise. A third option is to send out an email to everyone about the special upcoming event so that everyone is not double-booked.
Time for the Party: If the department budget allows, you may wish to distribute a few disposable cameras to document the event. These pictures can then be posted on a department bulletin board. But most of all, have fun! All of your hard work has paid off. After the event, you may wish to send an email out to your colleagues to thank them for attending the party. Don't be surprised if they thank you for the special addition to the party! - 42569
