Kaleidoscope


Kaleidoscope has been together nine years and have mastered the art of running a great party while maintaining comfortable volume levels, , making them one of the Washington, DC/Baltimore, Maryland areas most sought after bands.
A high energy, 10 piece dance band that delivers a tight, powerful mix of the best dance tunes from the 60’s to contemporary Top 40.


A three piece horn section, jamming’ rhythm section and three outstanding lead vocalists guarantee you the very best in live party entertainment.
Renowned for their incredible energy, on-stage charisma, outstanding choreography, awesome vocal harmonies, funky grooves and tight arrangements.
The band members are all friendly, courteous and extremely easy to work with. Their only goal is to give you the party of your lifetime!


"The band was fabulous. They are consistently wonderful to work with and are professional and fun. Beyond that, they make the clients (parents of the bride as well as the bride and groom themselves) feel that they are excited and delighted to be performing at their event and there's no amount of training, begging, cajoling or explaining that can make people convey that to a client if they don't 'get' it. This event ran until 12:45 which is always a little dicey in Washington. At 12:45 last night, there were a solid 75-90 people still on the dance floor and they would happily have danced another ½ hour if the band had played longer. We left the guests wanting more. The family was thrilled and pronounced it a perfect night. I couldn't have been happier.

I hope you'll share my comments with everyone in the band. I love working with the group and wish I could do that every weekend.
Please make sure they know how much fun I had working with them." 
Ellen F. Dubin, Event Planning and Management
“The BEST band we have heard. My guests did not want to go home or GET OFF THE DANCE FLOOR - They were EXCELLENT and Carol was GREAT to work with!”
Beebe Bat-Mitzvah
“We ere thrilled with Kaleidoscope, and so were our guests!”
Marks Bat-Mitzvah
“Dear Ray, Please excuse the belatedness of this note but we wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the band for Amanda and Andrew’s wedding. Literally everyone “danced the night away” with Kaleidoscope. They were excellent! If they took any breaks, I certainly didn’t notice. All I remember is that I never danced so much in my life & the dance floor was always crowded - even til the very end. Greg as a lead singer was superb! Warm, friendly, engaging and very talented. They say the band makes the evening & I now know it is true. We chose not to have input into the selection of songs, but his selection was just perfect. Thanks for working with us til we found the band that was just the right fit.”

“I want to express how pleased my group was with Kaleidoscope’s performance at our Black Tie Dinner at the Attorney Retreat on September 17, 2005. The band had 100+ people from ages 29-65 on the dance floor for over two hours strait! The crowd even cheered for more. We appreciate the band’s energy and special effort to keep playing despite the long night.”
Steptoe & Johnson
“They made the party!”

“Excellent! Great from start to finish. They were great. They set a wonderful tone for the party. We didn’t sit down all evening!”

Louise Svahnqvist, Manager of Meetings and Special Events Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City
“Dear Ray, We want to thank you for helping us choose Kaleidoscope for our August 21st wedding. They were amazing! Our party was so much fun and much of that is due to the band. They nailed our first dance and we were really pleased. Our friends are still telling us that it was the best wedding band they have ever heard! We are really happy with out choice and we look forward to seeing our video!”

“Carol, the band was fantastic on Saturday night. I know it was difficult for them to prepare since the client didn’t provide us with music until 2:30PM on the day of the event! Please pass along a huge thank you to every member of the band. They were wonderful to work with and they kept the party going. They are great musicians and singers and great party facilators. They exceeded our expectations. The client was extremely happy.”
Carol Gordon CLG Promotions
“Kaleidoscope did a fantastic job! We could have served franks and beans at our daughter’s wedding and no one would have noticed because of the band. Everyone was up and dancing all night long, right up to midnight!”
