How many breaks does a band usually take?
During a four hour reception, bands will typically play three sets, with two breaks in between. The first break generally occurs after the main course is served. During this break, background CD music (appropriate for dining) is generally played. Between the two dance sets, the band will often take a short break (around 15 minutes) to rest their voices. During this break, up-tempo dance music on CD’s will generally be played, to keep the energy level of the party in tact.
