This is the
band with the crazy hats!
Professor D brings an incomparable energy to their dynamic shows.
From
Motown to disco, funk and R&B to current Top 40 hits, you get the
best dance and party songs EVER - played back to back to back! The
music hardly ever stops as they segue from one hit to another with
their trademark personality and fun.
Professor D is
heavy on the "audience participation," getting your friends and
guests involved all night long. After 12 years and literally thousands
of shows around the southwest, this band has the experience and
exuberance to make your event a huge success.
Professor
D is truly Dallas' premier and most uniquely entertaining band.
Weighing in at eight pieces with horns, male AND female lead vocals,
and one of the tightest rhythm sections in the southwest,
Professor D has opened in the last year for artists such as Prince,
Tina Turner, The Backstreet Boys, Kool & The Gang, Gloria Estefan,
Janet Jackson, plus many others! This band has what it takes to
make for a spectacular event!
If
you want them at your next party, don't hesitate! After
all, there's only one
Professor D and the Playschool.

performance."

"Carol,
As we recover from an 8 month planning and a wonderful wedding weekend
for Emily and Blake, I must tell you how perfect the band, Professor
D was on Saturday night! The music was so upbeat and the talent of
the musicians and vocals were great! We had so many compliments from
our family and friends but also vendors that were providing help to
us through the evening. A few of our friends are semi professional
musicians and they in particular were so impressed with the band".

success."

Dear Scott, I wanted to tell you once again how much I enjoyed working
with you and your band Saturday night. Longfellows was a success and
you helped make it so. The debs loved you and had a grand time. And
of course that is the object of the party. It was a pleasure to meet
you. Best of luck to your group. Please feel free to use us as a reference
at any time. PS - I have worked with several bands with various parties
over the years and you were the BEST, most professional, and the NICEST!
Thank you for making us look good!"
