“Our time with Band Together was quite simply a transformative experience. Mary and her team created an inclusive environment based in safety, trust, and respect that allowed our team to reframe barriers, find confidence in new ideas, and cultivate interdependence—all while smiling and laughing! Our shared experience was refreshing and     renewed our ability to reframe habitual patterns of interaction. Thank you Mary!”

Gary L. Montrezza

Hospice of the Valley

“I had so much fun attending Mary’s group workshop. We were all jammin’ in such a short time it was unbelievable. How often can you get up and running on an instrument actually playing in a band in under two hours. I can’t wait to go again.”

Yelp Review

“Thank you and your whole group very much for coming to Castilleja!  I have been hearing many wonderful things about your beautiful performance all over campus, including that it was the perfect coda for the week.  Even though you performed immediately after lunch on a Friday, Steel Jam’s energy and obvious love of music inspired the girls to get up and dance with abandon.”

Laura Nowell

Castilleja School

“Our members felt it was one of the best performances we’ve had. We look forward to having you again in the future.”

Doris Schafer

“I just hired Mary for a Caribbean themed party and she totally made it happen.  She was very professional and prompt, but also fun and helped set the island scene.  Who knew you could do Michael Jackson and Prince a la steel drum?  Mary can.  I happily recommend Steel Jam if you want to infuse your event with some lively island fun.”

“You guys were amazing!”

Stacie Sojka

Advertising & Promotions Manager, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

“The team didn’t know what to expect when they walked into the room…everyone grabbed some sticks and wondered what’s next. Mary’s enthusiasm was contagious. After a couple minutes, all those old barriers began to break away and we became just a happy, fun-loving group counting beats and moving to that powerful Jamaican beat. Even though we spent the whole day together doing a lot of different activites, this is the one that, to a person, they remember–the day they got to play the steel drums!”

Suzy Golt

Executive Director, The Marin Humane Society

“Thanks for a terrific job!”

Rose Renwick

District 4 Toastmasters International Governors Meeting

“In the course of 90 minutes, [Mary] was able to get 15 total strangers to play three pieces on the drums together…It was a satisfying and enjoyable experience—well worth the time and money.”
