They say good music transcends generations, and if that’s the case the same thing should go for a good prom band.
Certainly that’s how they feel at Bay City All Saints High School in Michigan , where the band Ceyx (sees) has been jamming out on prom night for 21 of the last 29 years. And there’s a reason for it: singer and drummer Dean Rusch says they know all the right buttons to push to get young sweethearts moving to and fro.
For this year’s prom, the band’s set included the Commodores “Brick House” and Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music.”
Kathy Swiercz loves Ceyx. The band played her prom 27 years ago and this year it was her daughter’s turn and she says all the good memories came rushing back. She added listening to the same band play made her wish for one thing: that she still had her prom dress and could dance with the kids.
Still, even though the music hasn’t changed, she knows the dance moves have.
