5/31/08-6 Bands at the Reception

The official band for the reception was the Buck Creek Jazz Band. They were fabulous! During their very long break (as requested by the bride and groom), Cathy and Steve's musician friends performed, including their own Jazz Band that they co-founded "Jefferson Street Strutters"

And Steve is in a Russian balailaka band, The Washington Balalika Society, and some of those folks came and performed.

At one point in the evening, The Buck Creek Band and the Jefferson Street Strutters joined forces and played together. Here's Cathy on tuba with her bouquet, jamming with the bands. At the end of their wedding ceremony, the trumpet, keyboardist, and banjo player played "When the Saints Go Marching In" while Steve and Cathy walked down the aisle. Much to everyone's surprise, they walked down the aisle and straight over to the band where Steve picked up his clarinet and Cathy picked up her tuba and they joined in the music. It was very appropriate for the two of them. This is what Cathy looked like at the wedding as well as at the reception.
