Planning Music for Your Opening Ceremony
Step-by-step guide to creating the perfect musical program
Get in TouchLooking for the perfect live band for your opening ceremony? After 5 brings grand opening fanfare and memorable performances, creating memories that last a lifetime. Our versatile six-piece band delivers professional-grade performances with a repertoire spanning RnB, Pop, Funk, Jazz, and Soul.
Planning the Timeline
A great musical program for your opening ceremony starts with a detailed timeline. Consider when guests arrive (smooth jazz works well), when the formal part happens (soul and RnB ballads), and when the dancing begins (funk, pop). A typical opening ceremony lasts 4–6 hours and the band typically plays 2–3 sets.
Building the Repertoire
Discuss your musical preferences with the band. Are there specific songs you'd like to hear? Is there a special first dance? After 5's repertoire covers RnB, Pop, Funk, Jazz and Soul, delivering grand opening fanfare and memorable performances. Compile your favorites and send them to the band at least a month before the event.
Sound Equipment and Logistics
A professional band needs adequate stage space (min 3×4m) and access to power outlets. After 5 comes with their own sound equipment, setup takes about 1–1.5 hours. Factor this into your venue planning. Also provide the band with a green room and catering.
Budget Planning
The cost of a professional live band depends on performance duration, ensemble size, and event location. A great live band is an investment that makes your opening ceremony unforgettable. Ask for a quote and discuss what additional services are included — sound equipment, lighting, DJ service during breaks.
