What Makes The New Monopoly so special? Well, in short...
Unlike most groups - we sound as good live - if not better - than our demo material.
We have the entire package - a fun, engaging stage presence, A huge song list of great variety and scope
8 lead vocalists, 2 female singers, 4 horn players, All completely wireless using high-end cutting edge technology.
All custom arranged material with astounding attention to detail, allowing us to sound equally strong performing music from the 30's thru today.
Our premium sound system (not outsourced) allows us to provide a consistently superior experience in any room size - while also being sensitive to guests not on the dance-floor.
Our cutting edge12 unit Martin intelligent lighting system is a cut above what many lighting companies would provide - at no additional cost,
An extremely neat and compact stage (no tripod stands or excess wiring anywhere) - all in a smaller footprint than you'd ever expect of 8 pieces.
We are a group of professionals that work closely with your party planner for meticulous event execution.
We are a premium black tie group specifically for your black tie occasion.
Why hire an 8 piece group from another state, pay 2 days worth of rooms and accomodation,

, as well as many popular outlying communities where the best celebrations are held?

		"The band was absolutely amazing at our wedding at the Hyatt Fair Lakes on September 3rd! You played exactly the songs that we wanted to hear and you kept the crowd excited from the very beginning until the very last song. We continue to get compliment after compliment about the band. Our friends all had a great time and so did our parents and their friends! You were a pleasure to work with and we would give you an outstanding recommendation to anyone who is looking for a band for a future affair." "I attended a wedding at the University Club in Washington, DC on Saturday May 20, 2006. The band was absolutely outstanding. They had Everybody up dancing for 4 hours. I was astonished at their ability to play everything from Bobby Darin to hip and everything, including a Stones melody. They made the wedding fabulous." "I had 3 tables of friends attending the New Year's Eve Dance at Michael's 8th Avenue and it was the best New Year's we have had. The Band made the evening. Our group was on the dance floor the entire night" "New Monopoly is as good as a band can be. Their ability to perform all styles of music from Glenn Miller to 2004 is amazing...taken with the show songs [costumed presentations] and the sense that they, like the audience, are also having a ball makes for a very good time." "The energy onstage was electric. The interplay between the four front singers was great to watch." "We received so many compliments on the versatility of the band"- 7/14/04 "I highly recommend...The New Monopoly." "Marvelous..." "The band exceeded our expectations... The dance floor was crowded to capacity throughout the evening... Everyone kept complimenting us on what a great band we had hired... We would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone planning an evening with live music and/or dancing." "You made the party! Great vocalists! Everyone was terrific!" "...the first time I've heard a live band that actually captures the sound of the original records, plus you added a TON of energy. You guys sounded great doing 50's, 80's & everything in-between!" "The band was outstanding. They made the event." "The variety of music was amazing..."

Value Added The New Monopoly has spent many years refining its professional musical and visual production. Many groups and their representatives offer different packages that you may select from for your engagement. We made the decision long ago to offer only one package--our best presentation--every time! The same number of musicians are on the bandstand for every engagement - a full eight pieces - not a stipped down, less desirable version with a great deal of pricey options. We include our fantastic horn section, eight lead vocalists, superior sound system, and costuming (for weddings and corporate events, we dress in traditional black tie attire unless otherwise instructed) for every engagement. Additionally, we offer as an option a full moving head intelligent lighting system (a luxury system used by all big name concert acts in the country.). This will provide dramatic dance floor and stage effects for those parties not desiring to hire a seperate lighting company, thereby eliminating an extra expense. The New Monopoly is second to none energy-wise - always providing the appropriate musical style driving your evening from start to finish with music everyone will enjoy. We are confident that no group offers as much, and coupled with our unmatched versatility, that makes the New Monopoly truly your top choice for any event. Just ask our clients. We are extremely proud to offer the most diverse, versatile, and extensive song list of any group in the region. Please view our 'Song List' page to see our current list of material. As always, if you don't see your first dance selection already on our list, please contact us 90 days prior to the engagement and we will be happy to learn your special song for you (maximum 1 song not on our current list, please!) Check our 'What's New' page for the latest additions to our song list. Welcome, once again, and feel free to browse our site and check out all of our promotional offerings. We have extensive audio demos for download and a nice offering of photographs for you to enjoy. We have made every effort to anticipate the most frequently asked questions. Please do not hesitate to e-mail us if you have any questions about the group that you do not see answered here. We look forward to being a part of your next event! Individual letters of recommendation as well as phone numbers of past clients (both corporate and weddings) available upon request. See top of page for sn example of the many 'thank you' letters we receive, as well as some copies of follow up questionairres sent to clients upon the successful conclusion of their special evening. We are proud to have never received anything less than an overall "excellent" rating for any engagement performed since beginning the post-event communication process.
