Dear attendees of the "Hollywood Swing Canteen." First off, we'd like to thank everyone who came out and supported our event. The response was huge, and the venue was quite overwhelmed.
The first thing we would like to address is that the evening was not a Kit Kat Cabaret show, and the wonderful girls had no involvement in the production of the evening. They simply donated their wonderful talents to our performance.
The Sirens of Song single-handedly produced, promoted and performed the entire event, so it was a little impossible for us to address some of the issues that were occurring on site. For this, we apologize and want to assure our fans that they will not occur at our next event.
Our goal was to put a smile on everyone's face and create a special evening that was lots of fun! Overall, we received very positive feedback but want everyone to know that we are committed to all of our guests having a great experience. We welcome your comments and feedback at sirensofsongmaui@gmail.com.
