Oh, yeah - we've played Trekker and Klingon gigs. The point is, we do theme parties. Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, Octoberfest, Stage Door Canteen, Bar Mitzvahs, you name it. And not just costumes, either. For a Wizard of Oz theme party, I wrote a special four-movement arrangement for the band of every song in the movie. We still play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...
