This incredible opportunity\u00a0came about when we played at a wedding in Oklahoma. Unbeknownst to us at the time, one of the bridesmaids at the wedding worked as a White House intern. About 2 weeks after the wedding we got a call from the White House Social Secretary asking us to perform for the President at the Congressional Ball that winter.

Most White House events have the Army or Navy Band play for the event.

FBI screenings, background checks, walking into the front door of the White House felt like walking into a high security airport. We had SWAT Team members posted outside of our hotel, undercover agents, and even a security detail while we performed for the President at the ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><span><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><\/span><span>Despite the intimidating security and evasive preparation process, the event was a real pleasure to perform at. We were given a tour of the grounds when we arrived but we performed in the Gold Room for all of the Senate and White House personnel to see.We did the love train with congress, democrats and republicans, it was great to see everyone getting along and dancing through the night. No band ever comes twice, because they want to showcase all kinds of talent, but everyone had so much fun that Laura Bush called us back again the next year.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9ab74e9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9ab74e9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-adaf1c4\" data-id=\"adaf1c4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d245a1 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"3d245a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe just wanted to say thank you for last night!
