Our House Band Musicians are expert musical shapeshifters, able to transition seamlessly from supporting produced signature Princess Theatrical Shows to headliner-style Guest Entertainers in our theaters and lounges. Our House Bands also provide unique live music experiences for our guests in themed events arranged specifically for our instrumentation, and in high-level improvised jazz catering to an array of tastes.

House Band Pianists require solid sight-reading and chart-interpretation skills, and are able to deliver music across a variety of styles such as Jazz, Rock, Broadway, Latin, Pop, and Country.
