Event Testimonial

"The dedicated team of volunteers that comprise Band Together is exceptional in every way. They devoted themselves to understanding the mission of the Lucy Daniels Center and making it their own as they shared our story and sought support from the community. BT is a testament to the power a group of volunteers can have to inspire others to give and get involved, even during difficult economic times. In addition to presenting incredible concerts, BT builds community between sponsors, volunteers, and music lovers. They inspired our board, advisory board, staff, and parents to rally together around a common goal. The funds, community awareness for children’s mental health, and positive energy generated from this event have given the Center a new base of support that we can build on for years to come! We thank everyone involved with Band Together and look forward to paying it forward by volunteering in future years."


Joyce Watkins King, Director of Development

Lucy Daniels Center for Early Childhood

"I want to thank the folks at Band Together for a great night at The Busy Bee's HIVE. There was a great crowd that far exceeded our expectations. We had planned for 70-75 and had more than 200 people! Your group was the reason our sales doubled that night."
