  Casual Attire


  Welcome Reception
  Casual Attire




    Share an evening with the Nacho Men, one of Denver’s favorite musical     performance groups.  This band is made up of seven men who sing and play     a variety of instruments.  They will combine their incredible vocal     harmonies with a rocking back beat, solid rhythm and sizzling hot     horns.  From swing, jazz and big band 50s, 60s and disco, this     high-energy band will keep the evening alive with enthusiasm in a     Colorado theme setting.  There will be heavy appetizers available     throughout the evening.  This is definitely a social event you do not     want to miss!




    Closing Banquet
  Casual Attire




    Heartbeat     has been known as an extremely high-energy band that performs with the     “leaning forward” attitude of the best bands from the     New York     area.  This nine-piece ensemble features two entertainers that “front”     the band.  They are backed up by an outstanding rhythm section, which     includes keyboard, guitar, bass and drums.  In addition, a trio of horns     rounds out the “orchestra” sound of the band.  Members of the back-up     band sing as well, creating tight background harmonies that make each     selection sound just like the record.  The band plays a wide variety of     hits from across the decades and they will definitely have everyone     dancing in no time!
