Dear Event Coordinator,
We would like to introduce you to The Whiptones for your consideration for musical engagements and
special events at your facility. The group is comprised of four high school teens, between the ages of 15
and 17, from Whippany, New Jersey, who have been performing a cappella doo wop for the past two
and a half years. Their blend of vocal harmony is energizing, bringing new life and passion to the golden
oldies…and smiles to generations of fans.
The Whiptones have performed for thousands of people at famous venues such as the IZOD Center,
Beacon Theatre, PNC Bank Arts Center, and Mohegan Sun Arena. Their music has aired on radio stations
up and down the east coast. They have entertained at private birthday parties, anniversary parties,
public car shows, and community events. Most recently, they were selected to sing the National Anthem
on Opening Day at Citi Field for the New York Mets.
