Big Wave has been making ‘Waves’ since the birth of MTV. Originally known as Wild Video Dance Party^®, which toured thousands of colleges, universities, and military bases during the eighties, then Club Coca-Cola^®, CBW expanded into the corporate market in the nineties. Since then, we have been the final entertainment event for PCMA, MPI, Special Events, ILEA and NACE, performed at hundreds of major corporate destinations nationally as well as in Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In addition to lengthy list of pharmaceutical firms our list of satisfied corporate clients includes Cisco, Apple, Intel, Levi’s, Intel, IBM, Siemens, McKinsey & Company, Arthur Anderson, Ernst & Young, Deloitte Touché, to name a few. Club Big Wave has been the closing event for five Microsoft Worldwide Summits with more than 10,000 attendees.

Club Big Wave can be the principal entertainment package or can open for a Main Attraction, have the main attraction perform their hits for 65 minutes and then close the final event for several hours. CBW has done this with B-52’s on six different occasions, Earth, Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, Village People, Huey Lewis and the News, Smash Mouth, and the Stray Cats!

Hey Brian,

The students really loved the dance. They felt it was a much better setup and looked cooler than the video dance we usually bring in for them. With the DJ up above it really felt like a club atmosphere, you managed to make our old gym look like a night club, which is no small feat!

We’d love to have you back in the fall, I’m not quite at that point of scheduling yet, but I was thinking it would be a great first dance of the year, for early-mid September. I’ll get back to you with a date soon.

Best,
Chris Capano, DSA

Brian,

By all accounts John did a great job and the dance was a huge success. Thanks again, and I promise to be a bit more on the ball for the next one!

Things went very well on Saturday night, Brian. The sound and lights were wonderful. Once D J-Bone hit his groove, the students really liked him. In fact, several said he was the best DJ we had all year.

Kudos to your team.

GDX hired Big Wave to produce our Spring Fest Concert 2013. 2,500 students attended and Big Wave did a phenomenal job. Their staff was professional and their powerful audio system and light show were awesome. I highly recommend Big Wave; see you next spring!

Everything went great with CBW Super System! We received awesome feedback from the student body and a lot attended, the venue hit capacity (1,500)! We will definitely keep Big Wave in mind for future events. Also, your crew was very easy to work with and was praised by the student-life staff.

Big Wave made quite the splash at St. Paul’s School on November 6th, 2010! It was clearly the best dance that SPS has ever seen. Thanks to the light show and the crisp sound, there was never a dull moment and everyone stayed at the dance until the very end. The gym was transformed into a nightclub, the set-up was very impressive and exciting. It was a pleasure working with Big Wave; they were very helpful, reliable and creative. They certainly know this age group, and they were a joy to work with for the adults as well. We hope to have them back many times in the future!!

I will speak with my colleagues about this wonderful possibility for a guest speaker.

Kind regards,

The Drive-In Movie was outstanding, especially with the blue ray set up and your new HD projector. Finishing off the weekend with Club Big Wave for our Spring Formal could not have worked out any better. The sound, video and lighting under our graduation tent created an atmosphere our students could not stop talking about.
