About the Band
The District
The District is the latest incredible band created by renowned special events production company Stage 39. Having already established some of the industry’s top party bands in NYC and Atlanta, Stage 39 brings The District to Washington DC, introducing the company’s trademark contemporary style and signature attention-to-detail to weddings and high-end event productions in the nation’s capital.
Like Stage 39’s other bands represented by Sam Hill Entertainment - Revel Arcade & Revel Radio - The District offers stunning high-energy performances along with the professionalism, experience, and chemistry expected from the industry's elite party bands.
Available for events inside and outside the Beltway, including destinations like Annapolis, Baltimore, Richmond, Charlottesville, Delaware beaches, and the mountain resorts of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, this incredible group has all the cool confidence and magnetic charm that event professionals expect from other Stage 39 bands but with an approach that's tailored for events in the mid-Atlantic. From timeless classics to contemporary party smashes, The District is ready to bring distinctive energy and capital class to your event.
The District delivers an authentic artistic expression, as soulful and vibrant as our nation’s capital itself. Approaching each event with careful attention and offering a diverse song selection that will cater to guests of all ages and backgrounds, The District’s bustling live energy and charismatic choreography combine to bring a unique live experience even to guests who have seen many of the area’s top bands already. This group’s intergenerational appeal will breathe new life into contemporary classics while serving the individual needs of each client and their vision. The lineup size of The District can even be tailored with an optional horn section to match the specific size and budget dynamic of the many different types of events in DC and beyond.
Just as the city of DC refreshes itself with new energy and ideas, The District is here to bring the standards of the entire mid-Atlantic event scene to new levels.

FAQs
Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.
We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.
Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.
All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.
Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.
Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
