We were very pleased. They did a great job. Just to see the look on my moms face was all worth it. They were terrific. I would definitely use them again. thank You very much for such a great time.

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.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 2, 2009From 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.

FuneralReviewed on May 22, 2007From 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.

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, 2009From 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 CeremonyReviewed on August 4, 2014From 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 OpeningReviewed on March 8, 2013From 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.

WeddingReviewed on May 19, 2007From Twin Peaks, CA

Darrell had telephoned me the morning of the event, in regards to a family emergency he had and was trying to reach another performer to take his place. The person he had in mind wouldn't have worked out, so he came anyway and did a marvelous job. Many guests commented on his expertise and in lieu of his unfortunate circumstances, I found him to be a very pleasant young man and would highly reccommend him to others.
