The KOS Band is an exciting, powerful, and dynamic 11 piece musical entity playing all the best dance music. Featuring Top 40, Motown, and classic rock ‘n’ roll hits from the 60's through today, The KOS Band has kept people of all ages crowding dance floors up and down the east coast for more than 40 years! From a festive open air concert to the most ultra-formal black tie affair, KOS has enthusiasm and showmanship that are sure to please. They’ll be providing music throughout the event, with a live performance set for 2–6 PM. Read all about them here.
