How many breaks do you need?
The Storytellers Band usually takes 2 breaks during a 4 hour dinner and dance party…one dinner break, and one 5-10 minute breather before the final hour. Keep in mind that for most bands, the max time on stage for any one set is 75-90 minutes.
Is there silence on the breaks?
No silence! We play a mix of music via our iPod or Spotify that is relevant to the break time…dinner breaks call for softer music so guests can enjoy their meal and conversations. For the final break, it’s 2-3 high energy songs on an iPod to keep the party vibes going.
How does The Storytellers Band handle breaks?
Parties are fluid and nothing happens exactly to the minute, so having a sequence to follow is essential but not written in stone including exact break times. For us, the first break is usually 1 to 1.5 hours into the party which is a dinner break for all vendors and happens when guests enjoy the main course. The second break is a 5-10 minute breather before the final hour of the party.
