From BVT Founder, Kurt Titchenell:
What an Amazing Time!!
Looking back on the past couple of years, I am awestruck at the many successful events that we have planned and performed as well as the progress we have made as a business. Many new relationships were made and many others solidified. We are now settled at our new location in a state of the art, conveniently located office on Route One in Chadds Ford, where our staff is able to work more efficiently and our clients can experience BVT as the premier entertainment company that it is, in our new cutting edge video showcase theater.
We have welcomed City Rhythm, Deja Groove and more recently Strangers and Back 2 Life as our newest exclusive bands, and look forward to developing Group Therapy into a BVT top tier band. Our roster of other specialty entertainment has also grown, so we are positioned to fill just about any live entertainment need.
Since January 1, 2007, our bands have performed at many of the highest profile and prestigious events in the country. From The Quake’s performance at the 150th anniversary of the Academy Ball in Philadelphia to the Sid Miller Dance Band’s performance at the National Autism Society of America's Evening Of Champions event in Providence, Rhode Island, to Jellyroll performing at The White House for what may be considered the Country’s most high profile gala event, The 2007 Congressional Ball. Jellyroll also appeared for a second time at the White House at the request of Laura Bush for her 44th high school reunion. BVT’s City Rhythm even performed at the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies’ Spring Training events in Clearwater, FL and later did 2 one week tours in Italy.
In addition to Jellyroll's second White House appearance, 2008 was especially eventful in many ways. Community Service is a very important part of our business plan and BVT can be counted on to provide for a good cause. For the second consecutive year, BVT provided three great dance bands, Midnight Hour, Deja Groove and Jellyroll as well as scores of other entertainers, with BVT’s Bill McCue planning and coordinating the performances, at the Philadelphia Flyers’ Wives Fight For Lives Carnival. We look forward to our third year of partnership as we will once again be the entertainment sponsor at the 2009 Philadelphia Flyer's Wives Fight For Lives Carnival, which will be held at the Wachovia Center. In addition to this great cause, Midnight Hour donated their talent for the 3rd straight year at The City Of Hope’s annual fundraising gala held at the Park Hyatt at The Bellevue in Philadelphia. Jellyroll's support of Today's Media charities continue to be evident with their involvement in the "Best of Delaware" and "Best of The Main Line" events. In 2009, look for the Sid Miller Dance Band to headline the 2009 Philadelphia Auto Show on January 30th. We are also very proud to kick off our new partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand with Contagious' performance as a sponsor of the annual Lemonball (January 17th at the Philadelphia Marriott). These are just a few examples of BVT's commitment to community service.
We continue to be acknowledged as a top dance band entertainment company both locally and nationally with Jellyroll’s “Best Of Delaware” and “Best Of The Main Line” awards. Both Jellyroll and City Rhythm have also been selected as "Best Of Philly" in the past by Philadelphia Magazine. More impressively, 3 of our bands, Jellyroll, Sid Miller Dance Band and City Rhythm were selected as best in the country in The Knot’s Top 150 Bands and DJs issue. Brandywine Valley Talent was also awarded “Best Pick” by The Knot.
BVT continues to remain very active in Philadelphia's hospitality and event planning associations, primarily NACE (National Association of Catering Executives), ISES (International Association of Event Specialists), MPI (Meeting Professionals International) and the PCVB (Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau). For example, while Jellyroll was performing at the White House, BVT's Contagious dance band entertained close to 300 event specialists at the annual Jingle Jam event at the Waterford Ballroom at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel. During the same week City Rhythm appeared at the Pennsylvania Society gathering at New York's Waldorf Austoria Hotel.
In 2008, we were honored to sponsor the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia chapter of NACE where we introduced our exciting new electric string group, Stringsations Wired. Stringsations Wired entertained the top Philadelphia Caterers and event professionals as they entered Feastivities Caterings' impressive new facility in the Roxborough section of Philly. A month later, Stringsations Wired performed a one hour rock violin show at ISES annual Liberty Awards gala which was held at the Sheraton Society Hill in Philadelphia on June 25, 2008. Later that same evening, Deja Groove rocked the society of event specialists with their high energy dance show. Also in June, BVT's Quake performed at Philadelphia's Ballroom at the Ben for Philadelphia's top meeting planners during the 2008 PAMPI (Pennsylvania Meeting Professionals International) Awards Gala.
We also look forward to partnering with the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau on November 26th for their annual luncheon event where City Rhythm will perform for over 1000 of Philadelphia's leading hospitality professionals at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
As challenging as it may be, BVT looks forward to an even more exciting 2009!
