This band was the highlight of our day! David was great to work with throughout the planning process; always responded promptly, kindly & was very helpful! We had an acoustic guitarist play for our ceremony which was magical! The reception was a BLAST thanks to the band- they can play anything and do it well! We highly recommend Blue Wave!!
Blue Wave Band was fantastic! We were able to watch one of their showcases and decided to book them after seeing how talented the musicians were. At the reception they blew everyone away, and we received so many compliments on the band. We opted to include a horn section for our big day and were so happy we did! They sounded amazing and everyone had so much fun dancing. Blue Wave Band also served as MC for the event and did a great job there too.
Blue Wave was everything we could have asked for and more! From easy communication, special attention to details and our specific needs, spending time on the phone going over the wedding day schedule and questions to the actual wedding day music - Blue Wave was phenomenal. The live music was one of the highlights of our wedding day. We had a truly epic dance party that we wished could have lasted all night. The energy of the band members was contagious. Every single song they played was spot on to our requests and overall music preferences. We can't thank them enough for being such a huge part of our wedding.
The Blue Wave Band was truly one of the highlights of our wedding. We were so impressed at their showcase session that we decided to hire a 7 piece band, complete with trombone and saxophone. They brought the house down. The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone had a great time. We also used the guitarist and female vocalist for the ceremony. The website they set up for our event was a very helpful thing to have. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Lots of fun, very talented, professional and affordable.
Blue Wave totally made the reception: the song choices were excellent, the musicians superb and, to top it off, the band members were so so nice! Everyone was on the dance floor all evening, from the 3-year-old ringbearer to the 80+ year old grandma. We sang and sweated and had the best time. I'm glad my husband insisted on live music. Thank you Blue Wave: you were the best investment and made such great memories for us!!
I am a wedding planner and have worked with Blue Wave a number of times now! They make the process so easy--they are professional, responsive and reliable! They are super talented and such a blast! Always on my recommendations list when the couple is looking for a live band! Highly recommend!
We couldn't recommend Blue Wave more highly - they made our wedding reception a total dancefest. They absolutely blew us away the day-of. Huge range of songs and they kept people going all night. Thanks so much!
We had an AMAZING experience with Blue Wave Band. We came across them and based on the reviews...we booked them immediately! Boy are we glad that we did. Our guests have been raving about them for weeks now! The musicians and vocalists are SO talented. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night. David was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend this band for any wedding.
From the moment I sent an inquiry, to the moment the band loaded out, it was a top-notch experience. I appreciated how organized and communicative the band was in the months leading up to our conference party. The songs they played were high energy and perfectly executed. They kept us all dancing for the entire party and they sounded fabulous! I wish I could package them up and take them to every conference! As a professional musician myself, my standards are high. The Blue Wave Band exceeded my expectations for excellence in every way.
We hired the Blue Wave Band for a non-profit fundraising event and they were phenomenal. The pre-communication and the band itself was terrific. We went with a 4-piece band and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Their energy is amazing! We booked them that night for next year!
These guys were awesome. I'm so glad we decided to go with them. They set-up some audio equipment in the garden so that we had music for our guests before the wedding and when my wife walked down the aisle. Then they moved into the castle and did their performance. Wow, you would not believe the range that these guys had. You name it, they played it. And it sounded amazing. The wedding venue later told us they'd never seen so many people on the dance floor dancing at the wedding. They rocked it while everyone on the dance floor danced and sang along. We really wanted everyone to have a great time at our wedding, and having Blue Wave Band there jamming was a key element to getting everyone out on the dance floor rocking out. If you are considering music options for your wedding, definitely consult with Blue Wave Band. They were the X factor at our wedding.

Musicians often suffer from disorders of the musculoskeletal system that are related to their instrument playing. Among the most frequent symptoms are complaints in the shoulder-neck area. Radial shock wave therapy is increasingly used in trigger point treatment, but only few high-level studies have examined of shock wave therapy used together with physical therapy in the treatment of musicians.
Methods: This randomized blinded study in musicians (n = 26) with nonspecific shoulder-neck problems was done to examine the effect of shock wave therapy in addition to current physical therapy on the symptoms and quality of life of the musicians as well as their habits of playing musical instruments (intervention group shock wave vs reference group placebo). The effects were documented by a pain VAS and other instruments. A questionnaire designed specifically for musicians (with initial and final questions) recorded intensity and manifestation of pain and handicaps in daily life, especially when practicing and playing. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and the Neck Pain Disability Index Questionnaire (NPDIQ) were also used.
Conclusions: Trigger point treatment with radial shock wave used in combination with physical therapy makes the subjects feel temporarily relieved of neck and shoulder pains. The effects of radial shock wave without physical therapy will need to be examined in further studies.
Musical tones are produced by musical instruments, or by the voice, which, from a physics perspective, is a very complex wind instrument. So the physics of music is the physics of the kinds of sounds these instruments can make. What kinds of sounds are these? They are tones caused by standing waves produced in or on the instrument. So the properties of these standing waves, which are always produced in very specific groups, or series, have far-reaching effects on music theory.
Most sound waves, including the musical sounds that actually reach our ears, are not standing waves. Normally, when something makes a wave, the wave travels outward, gradually spreading out and losing strength, like the waves moving away from a pebble dropped into a pond.
But when the wave encounters something, it can bounce (reflection) or be bent (refraction). In fact, you can "trap" waves by making them bounce back and forth between two or more surfaces. Musical instruments take advantage of this; they produce pitches by trapping sound waves.
Why are trapped waves useful for music? Any bunch of sound waves will produce some sort of noise. But to be a tone - a sound with a particular pitch - a group of sound waves has to be very regular, all exactly the same distance apart. That's why we can talk about the frequency and wavelength of tones.
So how can you produce a tone? Let's say you have a sound wave trap (for now, don't worry about what it looks like), and you keep sending more sound waves into it. Picture a lot of pebbles being dropped into a very small pool. As the waves start reflecting off the edges of the pond, they interfere with the new waves, making a jumble of waves that partly cancel each other out and mostly just roils the pond - noise.
