🎭 WHAT TYPE OF EVENTS DO YOU PLAY?
YES! I mean, we play a wide range of events! Our specialties are weddings, corporate events, private parties, and festivals! We've also been a part of anniversary parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, conferences, and more. If live music will help you celebrate, raise money, or just bring people together, we've got you covered! 

🎸 HOW MANY PEOPLE/PLAYERS ARE IN THE BAND?
Living Proof is a full 8-piece unit! We've prided ourselves on providing that cohesiveness since our inception in 2002. Members taking the stage include a diverse mix of powerful male/female vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and saxophone. 🎷 Want a little extra brass? Inquire about additional horns when contacting us!

🎶 DO YOU TAKE SONG REQUESTS / LEARN OUR SONG?
WE DO!*
We will do our best to learn a special request for your special event. Feel free to ask one of the band members during your event, and they'll obviously play it if they know it (can never hurt to ask).

*If you have an event coming up and would like a song not currently on our list, we just ask for 6 weeks' notice to make sure we're ready to deliver the best event possible.

🕎 DO YOU PLAY HAVA NAGILA (THE HORA DANCE)?
YES! 
We love the Hora — chair-lifting, crowd-surfing energy every time. Just ask Erica & Jason! 🎉

🎉 DO YOU PERFORM AT BAR/BAT MITVAHS/QUINCEANERAS?/
YES! 
We've helped celebrate and bring energy to bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, and quinceañeras! Full 8-piece band, family-friendly setlist, and non-stop dancing. Perfect party vibes for marking these wonderful milestones!

⏰ HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO SET UP & TEAR DOWN? 
We require a minimum of two hours (3 hours preferred) in advance of guests arriving to the event to set up equipment. Likewise, a two-hour window at the conclusion of the event is preferred to tear-down equipment. This may impact the stop time for the band depending on the venue's policy.

🔌 WHAT TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS DO YOU HAVE?

We require three separate, 20-amp circuits at 110 volts within 10 feet of the stage or on the stage itself.
Preferred stage size 16’ deep X 24’ wide (side to side). 

🎪 DO YOU PROVIDE A STAGE? AND IS IT REQUIRED?
We do not typically provide staging for our performance, nor is it in our packages. If one is needed for your event, please inquire as our production company may be able to offer the service. While a stage is not required, it is preferred. It helps the guests not on the dancefloor still see the stage.

☀️ CAN YOU PLAY OUTDOORS FOR MY EVENT?
YES!
We love being outside for events and festivals. We require a flat, hard, dry area for the performance -- whether that's a portable stage, a concrete slab, or your town's Gazebo! Stage covering is highly preferred for the health of our performers and the safety of our equipment, especially in the hotter Summer months.

🕺🏼 WILL THE BAND DRESS UP FOR OUR EVENT?
YES!
The band usually wears black cocktail attire for events and weddings. Females in nice dresses and males in shirts, vests, jackets, and ties are optional. They'll look professional and also comfortable as they party with you and your guests. Let us know if you have a theme for your event or a color scheme that we can help complement.

🎙️ CAN WE USE YOUR MIC AND PA FOR OUR PROGRAM?
YES!
As long as the program is happening on the stage, you are more than welcome to coordinate with our production team. If you need a microphone/PA for speeches or announcements in a separate space onsite, we can provide an additional speaker for a small additional fee as well.

🤐 HOW DO YOU HANDLE FOUL LANGUAGE IN SONGS?
Our songlist is designed for all ages and is always “live edited” – i.e. even if the recorded version of the song has profanity, we don't typically sing those lines, especially at events/weddings. If you have a particular song you are worried about, let us know, or in the worst-case scenario, we'd be happy to omit that song from the evening's playlist.

✈️ WILL YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS? OUTSIDE OF INDIANA?
YES, OF COURSE!
We love a good roadtrip! There'll be an additional charge for the time, depending on the location. We also require accommodations and meals for band members, so just let us know, and we can include an itemized quote!
