Downtown Disney Entertainment this week began testing the sustainability of live music nightly on the Waterside Stage at Downtown
Disney Marketplace. The Andre Caram Band ft. Drey-C has begun
performing multiple 30 minute
sets every Wednesday and Thursday evenings with a DJ spinning
in-between sets. The music sessions will be performed during the months
of June and
July with the potential of extending into August.
The purpose of this test
is for DTD Entertainment to prove (again) to DTD Operations that live
bands are better enjoyed by guests when performed on a large-format style
stage instead of the small platforms that make up the Green and Purple Stages at Pleasure Island. Should the test be successful, the dates
could be expanded to 5 days per week, a better variety of bands could be
scheduled to perform and with any luck, begin talks about expanding
the Pleasure Island stages to include a raised covered performance
platform with large format lighting and audio support.
So come out to Downtown Disney this summer on Wednesday and
Thursday nights and help support the scene. Nearly everything Drey-C
performs is Top 40/Dance and we can expect the DJ's to do likewise
because that's what people want! More details on the Blog as they become available.
And, soon, from the dust, the west end shall rise yet again, for the 4th version of the stage.
ReplyDeleteWait...so guest like "Entertainment" at Downtown Disney? I thought surveyed guests wanted more Shopping and Dining?
ReplyDeleteOH boy this must mean PI is reopening?
ReplyDeleteNo, not at all.
ReplyDeleteI was there this past week and happened to stumble upon the show. It was amazing! So many people. They had the whole promenade filled all the way back to World of Disney! I really hope this keeps going. The band was fun and the DJ in between sets actually played all techno mixes! It was awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnon, thanks for the report. We'll have an update later this week.
