I don't mind a band in a box. They play all the dance party tunes that many want to hear.
I would rather have a band.
My guess is, it is much cheaper to have a band in a box. With a 3rd. square opening that is quite a cost for entertainment. I think the Villages does a good job of mixing it up.
I'm just amazed & happy that we have all of these entertainment choices "every night" !! No where else would we get this !! Life is good in the Villages !
