In order to help you decide on a band for your reception, here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.

What is the price of your band?
For a complete explanation of our pricing, please fill out our "Contact Us" form to request our price list. The kind of music you would like should fit the type of function you are having. The amount of sound output should match the number of invited guests and the size of the room where your affair will take place. We take all this into consideration before recommending the price of the band.

How many musicians are in the band?
Our band is a 7-piece band. Unlike most bands in Goa, we also bring in our own sound and tech engineer who manages our settings from the stage below. This leaves us the opportunity to concentrate on you, our audience.

Can you provide music for our ceremony and/or cocktail hour?
Yes. We can suggest music appropriate for each event or you may choose your own music selections from our list of songs.

How can I be sure that the group of musicians I hire will be the same musicians who will perform at my affair?
A26 is a "set" group which means every member in our band will be the same every time. We do not employ freelance musicians. In the event of illness a substitute of equal ability will be contracted.

The ages of our guests will vary considerably. Can your band play all types of music?
The versatility and quality of musicianship in our band is such that our musicians can authentically perform a wide variety of music ranging from the '60's swing era to today's Top dance music in English and Hindi. Our extensive song list includes music from every era. You are always free to choose which songs you would like the band to play.

How many breaks does the band take during the night and how long do they play?
A standard engagement is 2.5 hours. If there is a ceremony or cocktail hour before dinner, arrangements can be made for music to be played during that time. Depending on the type of function you are hiring us for, within 2.5 hours our band will play a non stop for 2 to 2.5 hours. Digital music will be played during our breaks at no additional cost.

Will the band perform at a volume that is comfortable for me and for my guests?
A26 can perform music which is especially suited for the dinner hour and background to conversation. Also, as the party progresses we are always amenable to lowering the volume at your request.

Will the band learn a special song?
If you provide four weeks' notice, and a CD or MP3 of your song, we will guarantee that your song is learned and performed well.

Can I decide what type of music will be played during my reception?
We encourage our clients to go through our song list and highlight the selections and genres they would like the band to play and cross out any selections they do not wish to hear. On the day of your function we will perform music you have chosen.

We are also extremely capable of "reading the crowd" and choosing music and we are confident that we will pack the dance floor. (We highly recommend this to clients in all cases)

With nearly 20 years of individual experience providing music for all types of affairs we have earned an excellent reputation for great music and personalized service.
