Even though it was a pity the cheerleaders all went straight back to the hotel after their appearance, it was probably much better for our concentration that they weren't around to distract us when we started playing. I'm sure the band would have made mistakes if we were able to see them as we performed.
The Dallas Cowboys officials that hired us were very happy with the way it went off anyway so hopefully they will use us again for similar events. Besides, it's a nice gig to have on the band's resume. Plus they pay very well like those sort of corporate gigs do. I hope it opens the door to more of those types of jobs. It was a nice change from playing in the corner of local bars like we usually do. We are back in Las Vegas at Ballys in October playing a corporate party so that is the next one I am looking forward to. Getting paid to go to Vegas with a suite provided is always a buzz. Though I somehow think most of the money I make will stay in Vegas.
