Thank YOU! You guys were fantastic! The StingRays are a lively, talented bunch that gets everyone on their feet & on the dance floor with an excellent lineup of tunes. And, for an event planner, they’re a dream to work with – professional, detailed & responsive. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat. -- Nicole Benjamin, Director of Special Events, Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce, Chicago, IL
The StingRays are a favorite with the Oregon fans because they are high energy and fun! They play a variety of music that all ages enjoy. The concert crowd loves it when the musicians leave the stage and mix-it-up with the audience. The conga line is also a favorite and the kids love the little prizes for the dance contests. The StingRays are talented musicians who are great to work with, fun, entertaining, and professional. -- Debbie Leffelman, Event Coordinator, Oregon Park District, Oregon, IL
The StingRays Band was a great addition to our Fox Valley Park District Free Summer Concert Series this year. So many people complimented your band at the end of the concert. The best part for me was seeing all ages from toddlers to active adults participate in the fun interactive concert with smiles on their faces! Thanks so much! -- Debbie Smith, Community Outreach Manager, Fox Valley Park District, Aurora, IL
The StingRays are a top notch band that provide communities a quality family experience through their music. -- Michael O’Shea, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation, Dyer Parks & Recreation, Dyer, IN

The StingRays dazzled a crowd of over 600 very happy people at last Friday's Jamboree with a superb show performing some of the best rock and roll from the 50s and 60s. An amazingly great time was had by all! -- Mount Morris Jamboree on Facebook, Mount Morris, IL

You guys did a great job Friday night!!! Thanks -- Glenn Rygel, Roselle Cruise Nights
Loved you guys once again. As long as the mayor and myself are around you will be on our fest. Thank you again for making our evening great! -- Tim Ludston, Harwood Heights Fest
Not only did your incredible sound keep the crowd going, your song selection and interaction with the crowd was phenomenal. With a crowd of close to 500 people, you somehow found a way to get everyone involved - from age 3 to 83. It is such a pleasure and a relief to walk through the crowd and see so many smiling faces and people singing, laughing, dancing and toe tapping. For the first time all summer adults were actually out of their chairs and cutting loose to the music. -- Scott Pepino, Recreational Program Coordinator, Village of Hinsdale
Musically, you're like taking a trip back in time. -- JoEllyn Gahan, Mendota Chamber of Commerce, Mendota Sweetcorn Festival
It wouldn't be the Festival of the Vine without you. -- Jean Gaines, Geneva Chamber of Commerce, Geneva Festival of the Vine
Our 50th Class Reunion was special but when the StingRays started to play really put the cherry on the perfect sundae. Everyone who was there has responded to me about how much they enjoyed the music. I look forward to referring or having you entertain us again. Thank you so much for making the DGHS 66 - 50th Reunion such a success. -- Gretchen Wehrmeister-Fuller, DGHS 66 - 50th Class Reunion

The StingRays are sure to engage a crowd of any age with their renditions of the Oldies! They will get you up and dancing or at least tapping your toes and whistling while sitting and enjoying the great tunes! Plus, they are a pleasure to work with! -- Mary D'Amico, Special Events Coordinator, Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL
I am so glad we had The Stingrays play this year at the car show. I especially enjoyed that big conga line we had and all the people that were dancing. The Stingrays were great to work with and interacted with the audience. Their sound and song choices felt like I went back in time to the 1950's and 1960's. -- Sarah Aspel, Recreation Supervisor, Lockport Township, IL Park District
The Stingrays did a fabulous show for the City of Morris Court House Lawn concert series. The audience loved the mix of music played, as well as the professionalism of the musicians. The interaction between the band and the audience was a big hit also! Guaranteed to be a real crowd pleaser at any event. -- Dick Kopczick, Mayor, City of Morris, IL
We host 6 outdoor concerts during the summer and the StingRays are the band that really got concert goers up and moving! They loved the twist contest, conga line and general interaction from the band! This concert also was during our classic car show and the music was a perfect match for the event. -- Katie Halverson, CPRP, Recreation Supervisor, Morton Grove, IL Park District
Everyone loved the Stingrays. I get the reviews the next day and nothing but great things were said about you guys. We definitely want you back for next year! ...'Good times, Good music, Good memories'. -- Beth Lukas, Village of Stickney, IL
Thank you StingRays for an incredible show at the Cary Area Public Library! We had over 100 people in attendance to dance the night away and help us celebrate the end to our winter reading program "Reading Rocks". The band put everyone in the dance mood (even some of our staff got out there and boogied!) and the contests made everyone feel a part of the party. The conga line through the stacks was the best; the line kept growing and growing! Thanks again for a "rockin' good time! -- Jennifer Reopelle, Program Coordinator, Cary Area Public Library
Can't tell you how much everyone enjoyed your music and the whole evening. I have never seen so many of the adults dancing at one of our concerts! -- Mary Bavido, Friends of the Bartlett, IL Library
…one of our best nights of "Music at the Gazebo". The crowd involvement says it all. They truly had a great time. The playlist was great and your sound was very clear and the band was tight. -- Jack Island, Spring Road Business Association, Elmhurst, IL
Our patrons absolutely loved the StingRays and raved about them after their performance. They were energetic and even had the audience dancing! They played a wonderful selection of songs and our patrons had a great time answering trivia. -- Courtney Tedrick, Head of Community Engagement, Wheaton, IL Public Library
The StingRays provided the perfect blend of rock-n-roll for our vibrant 55+ community! They really ‘brought the party’ and we had so much fun singing and dancing along! Their audience interaction is second to none, and I have received so many great comments about their performance since their performance last week! They are definitely on my ‘book again’ list. Thank you so very much for a great night! -- Julie McFarlin, Lifestyle Director, Grand Dominion by Del Webb Community Association, Mundelein, IL
The StingRays were easy going and a pleasure to work with. The residents of Cary enjoyed the enthusiastic, interactive and fun show filled with trivia and songs they could sing and dance to. -- Erica Hall, Program Manager, Cary, IL Park District
Everyone had a great time …. including me! -- Gina Falco, Lifestyle Coordinator, Liberty Village, Elmhurst, IL and Emerald Village, Schaumburg, IL
We had a blast! These high-octane ambassadors from the nifty ‘50s-‘60s music era proved to be real crowd-pleasers. These cats rocked onstage and kept the energy rolling between tunes. Though we were forced indoors by wet weather, four walls couldn’t dampen the audience’s enthusiasm or contain the dancers that spilled onto the sidewalk. -- Special Events Committee, hosts of Music in the Park, Ottawa IL
The StingRays put on a phenomenal performance for the Wheaton community. They are entertaining and engaging for all ages. If it was up to the crowd, the StingRays would’ve performed the whole night. Thank you for creating a show to remember for years to come! -- Amy Seklecki, Marketing & Special Events Coordinator for the Wheaton Park District
I had so many compliments about what a great time people had that night and more than one person has asked us to bring the StingRays back next summer. I would like to thank the StingRays for a wonderful concert and a fun night filled with laughter and great music. -- Julie Greve, CPRP, Recreation Program Division Manager, Park Ridge, IL Park District
You guys were amazing and we have heard nothing but great things from the residents. There was even one group that traveled over an hour just to see you guys play. -- Ashley Downing - Cambridge Lakes Lead Lifestyle Coordinator, Pingree, IL
