The band wore black and white, with red bow ties and blue cummerbunds. The bridal couple had requested red bow ties, and Carl suggested the blue cummerbunds to complete a red-white-and-blue patriotic theme.
We arrived at 6:00 to set up, but the reception was a bit behind schedule and we started setup around 6:25, when the room we were in cleared out. We started around 7:30. We originally planned to play from sometime between 7:00 and 7:30, after dessert, until 11:00, but since the crowd had thinned considerably by 9:45, the bride and groom changed the ending time to 10:30.
All the songs on the list were songs from our repertoire specifically requested by the bride and groom, except those with no * or + mark, which we added to round out the program. We played all of the songs in the "highest priority song request" group. There were no additional requests during the reception.
The first set included the variety songs to make sure the younger audience members had a chance to participate in them.
We had a fourth set planned, in case we needed it. Here are the songs we omitted due to lack of time:
Set 3 omitted due to lack of time:
+Dance to the Music
+La Bamba
Blue Skirt Waltz
+Moonlight Serenade
Set 4 omitted due to lack of time:
+Pennsylvania 6-5000
Moon River
+Mambo #5
+Makin' Whoopie
+Woodchopper's Ball
+He Don't Love You
+Copacabana
+Ain't Misbehavin'
Polka Medley
+She Works Hard for the Money
+New York, New York
