“I am on the Reunion Committee for the Stonewall Jackson High School Class of 1968. We had our 55th Class Reunion recently at the South Charleston Little Creek Park and we contracted the Esquires for our entertainment that evening. Not only was our event a huge success but one of the big reasons was having the Esquires perform. They were very easy to book and every person that night at our reunion had  tremendous time, in large part due to their involvement. I would highly recommend this well known band for any event you may have in the future. “

“Recently the city of Nitro had the opportunity to utilize The Esquires to anchor the celebration of the grand opening of the city’s Athletic Complex. Leading up to a fireworks show, the band did a great job getting the crowd going with the sounds that everyone could recognize. Prior to the event, working with the band in preparation of the event was an easy task, as everything was handled professionally. We look forward to working with the group again.”
