What Are People Saying?

Bobby and his band were fantastic. They were sensitive; they were a joy; and they were fun. Their music was both listenable and danceable, which is what we all wanted for that evening.
-Gerard Schwarz, Music director, Seattle Symphony

I had the distinct pleasure of listening to the music of Bobby Medina’s band at the Seattle Symphony Association New Year’s Eve Gala. Everyone had a wonderful time. This was due in large part to the great musical sounds emanating from the bandstand. I would recommend their services highly.
-Norm Rice, Mayor, City Of Seattle

Our annual awards banquet was a huge success largely due to you and your band. From the dinner music, with you in black tie, to the main event music, with you and the band in “Red Hot” attire. It was terrific.Everyone who has stopped by my office this week mentioned how great the music was that evening. Thank you for everything.
-Joanne Schriber, Manager of Associate Services, Food Services Of America

Thank you for helping make SMACNA’s Christmas party on December 1st the best ever! We are still receiving rave reviews from our members. You and your band really helped us pull the 1940’s theme together - your choice of music as well as your “look”. Thanks Bobby! -Joanne Williams, Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors Of Western Washington
