"I wish all bands were as professional as Stagecoach West. The reason there are so many rules in my contract is because SO MANY BANDS are not professional. But with your band, you understand what the band needs to provide: Nice clothing; punctuality; organization; and so on. And the respect you guys show me makes my job so easy when SW performs. See you next month. Chris -2019
