The CE Pro All-Star Band has become a fixture of after-hours entertainment at the annual CEDIA Expo/CIX show and this year will be no different.
The band is set to once again take the stage during the show, which takes place on Sept. 3-6 in Denver, Colo. More specifically, the CE Pro All-Star Band will perform on Thursday Sept. 4 at the Cervantes’ Master Ballroom on 2635 Welton Street.
Emerald, the owner of CEDIA Expo/CIX 205 and CE Pro, states the show with the CE Pro All-Star Band is open to all registered show attendees (just show a show badge), and event sponsors include AiSPIRE, a WAC company, D-Tools, and Proluxe by American Lighting.
Those sponsors will distribute drink tickets, and a cash bar, along with some food will also be available. Additionally, a limited number of CE Pro All-Star Band t-shirts will also be available while supplies last.
The band, which includes members of the dealer, manufacturing, manufacturer’s representative, and media is scheduled to perform two sets. In these sets the music will range from classic rock and R&B, to funk, and pop music.
“Being part of the CE Pro All-Star Band is an incredible honor. It’s a chance to step away from the day-to-day and connect with my industry friends and colleagues through music,” says Tim Bigoness, CMO, D-Tools. “I’m most looking forward to the energy of playing live together, the camaraderie, and sharing that joy with the CE Pro community. It’s an awesome way to celebrate the passion and creativity that runs through our industry.”
