Sarah was great. She contacted me before the event. Informed me of what she needed. Was here at the time she promised. Performed beautifully for the students and parents for our Multicultural Day. She was great and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on January 16, 2017•From San Diego, CA

Darrel came on time and offered more help than we expected. He understood that this was a very stressful time for me and my family and did exactly what was expected without much direction. At the end of the song we asked him to play he slowly walked away while still playing which gave a nice fade effect to the music. I highly recommend him for any gathering.

School Assembly•Reviewed on October 3, 2015•From Pacific Palisades, CA

Darrell was outstanding as a person of character and a performer. He was responsive to all communication, prompt in his arrival and professional in his desire to accommodate what we wanted at the assembly. No highly recommend Darrell and we will definitely use him again.

Private Party•Reviewed on April 7, 2007•From Santa Ana, CA

The two young men from the Bagpipe Connection arrived early and were ready to go at the appointed time. They were very professional and nice. They played very well, played the songs that we requested and marched in and out as we had asked them to. We would hire them again.

Review by April C.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 2, 2009•From Diamond Bar, CA

DC live was so nice and played great. extremely serious about the performance. this was a surprise, and it worked out great due to the professionalism and genuine concern to follow my request to a T. we had a large culturally mixed crowd and everybody was impressed. quite a few people actually teared up because of how beautifully and perfect every song was played. DC even took requests for songs and actually knew how to play them. DC was kind enough to even play an extra song for a guest that arrived late so they could hear the pipes. very accomodating. very clean cut too!! i would recommend them to anybody who wants to please the entire party.

He was absolutely wonderful!

Review by Tom G.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 22, 2007•From La Mirada, CA

The bagpipes added a very nice touch to the funeral. Musician was nice, courteous, appropriately attired. When asked, he was willing to work longer if needed. The only reason we did not take him for longer was that we had moved the reception to a private home where a lot of people were packed into a small space --- the volume of bagpipes seemed like it would be too much in the confined space. Thanks for making our event nicer.

Funeral•Reviewed on February 2, 2016•From Barstow, CA

Thank you so much Darrell for playing for my grandmothers funeral. We were looking to honor my grandmother in the best way and you did that for us. Worth every penny and i would recommend you in a heartbeat. Thank you again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 13, 2009•From Long Beach, CA

Our party was a huge success, in large part, due to the excellent entertainment from Dale and Mike. They made quite an entrance bagpiping and drumming down our street and through our home. The played both their really loud pipes and drums, and switched it up with a quieter pipe and drum. Our guests and my husband (who'd bday we were celebrating) really loved it. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for great lively entertainment for their party.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 4, 2014•From Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Darrell was an excellent performer, he was able to lead the procession of the wedding. I was impressed because he was playing excellent and walking over uneven terrain. It was a surprise and he did an excellent job. An excellent compliment that the couple will remember for the rest of their lives. Thank you!

Grand Opening•Reviewed on March 8, 2013•From San Dimas, CA

Darrell Calvillo, is a true professional. He was on time, polite, and was very interested in making the performance perfect for our golf tournament, opening ceremonies. All the golfers were taking pictures, i-pads etc. I would recommend him to others, and I would certainly call him again for future tournaments. Thank you

Darrell was very professional. He was on time and we spoke several times on the phone to clarify and confirm with each other. The music was beautiful and exactly what my family wanted. I would recommed him highly and I know that the next time I need a piper Darrell will be my guy. Thank you to Darrell and gigmaster for making what was a diffcult choice easy and worry free.
