Yes, I have but I know someone in the school and he told me that in the beginning of the year the band is small because some guys left and it takes some time for them to train the new guys in. However, by November time they are amazing!
i have been planning on having them for years and now that Im actually getting married I cant wait to get them. I think its only the Monsey people that have seen it and its just something nice and different. those kids are heaven!
The main thing is -it supports the Yeshiva which is a bigger Mitzva than just giving some band Parnossa! But I still think you need to hire a band, at least a one-man band. They only come, I think, for a short time.
yes we will have a real band have no fear. they just come during the meal while everyone is eating. its something different and interesting to anyone that has never seen it.
