Corporate Parties | 50th year Celebration MSC Software 12/14/12
We were honored to be asked to play for MSC software’s 50th year anniversary on the Queen Mary. There are few venues that compare to the Legendary Queen Mary, with it’s art deco elegance. The employees got to enjoy guided tours of the ship and signature cocktails before dinner began in the large ballroom. After dinner we took to the stage and kicked off the evening with a couples dance. Many of the engineers surprised us by filling the dance floor as we were informed that this crowd wasn’t a huge dancing group. But the holidays can get anyone in the mood for a good ol’ dance party! Thank you for including us and we look forward to next years party! Here is what our client had to say:
“Undercover Live was a huge success! I have been receiving so many great comments from the employees about the event and having the band! Thank you for your amazing music, and the overall support to make this happen!”

More about the venue…
On May 27, 1936, the Queen Mary departed from Southampton, England embarking on her maiden voyage. She boasted five dining areas and lounges, two cocktail bars and swimming pools, a grand ballroom, a squash court and even a small hospital. The Queen Mary had set a new benchmark in transatlantic travel, which the rich and famous considered as the only civilized way to travel. She quickly seized the hearts and imaginations of the public on both sides of the Atlantic, representing the spirit of an era known for its elegance, class and style. Legend has it that the board of directors at Cunard had decided to name the ship the Queen Victoria, which would have been in keeping with the tradition of Cunard ships having the “ia” suffix (Mauretania, Aquitania and Berengeria). As per protocol, legend states that the Cunard directors went to ask King George his blessing of the ship’s proposed name saying, “We have decided to name our new ship after England’s greatest Queen,” meaning Queen Victoria, the King’s Grandmother. Upon which the King is reported to have stated, “My wife (Queen Mary) will be delighted that you are naming the ship after her.”
