Date: 5/5/12
Location: The Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village
Honorees: Schafer Gymnastics, Pennington Presbyterian Nursery School & Pennington-Ewing Athletic Club
This year we were once again honored to be a part of Princeton Child Development Institute‘s Spring Sensations Gala. 2012 marked our fifth year performing at this amazing event, and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of helping to raise funds and awareness for the good people at PCDI and all of their efforts.
The honorees this year were “three community partners (Schafer Gymnastics, Pennington Presbyterian Nursery School and Pennington-Ewing Athletic Club) with whom PCDI has had long-term relationships and who continue to work to make a difference in the lives of individuals with autism and their families”. It was wonderful to hear the stories of how each of these wonderful organizations has helped PCDI students and their families. We salute them all for their continuing efforts.
Princeton Child Development Institute has been “dedicated to teaching children, adolescents and adults with autism the necessary skills to participate fully with their families and in their communities” for over 40 years. To learn more or to donate go to www.pcdi.org.
Save the date! Next year’s Spring Sensations Gala will take place on May 4, 2013. We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2013!

Date: March 31st
Location: The Coppertree Restaurant at Hunter Mountain, Hunter, NY
Honoree: Purcell Palmer for Catwalk Artist Residency
This year Nite-Time had the pleasure of returning for the fifth year in a row to the Greene County Council on the Arts annual Beaux Arts Ball. Each year the ball is held at the beautiful Coppertree Restaurant at the foot of Hunter Mountain in Hunter, NY. This year’s March 31st ball had a masquerade theme which was a lot of fun and made it an incredible night!
This year the GCCA which “provides information and services to artists, arts organizations, cultural and educational institutions, civic groups, community agencies and the general public” honored Purcell Palmer.
Purcell, with her husband James, founded Catwalk Art Residency. Since its establishment in 2004, Catwalk has welcomed over 200 artists in residence to a “special retreat for art making, collaborative projects and scholarly discourse in a visually stimulating part of the country that has historically provided and continues today to provide significant inspiration to artists, cultural historians, writers and scholars.” Additionally, the council raised $22,000 toward their annual fundraising goal.
This year, there were masks made by local artists and volunteers available for sale during the silent auction to help everyone get into the spirit of the masked ball.
Lex Grey got things going with her bawdy cabaret and then we ramped things up with hits from the 60′s to today. Everybody was up and dancing, masked or unmasked!
It was actually really fun to perform wearing a mask, only a little bit difficult…
Yves had to take his off once he really started hitting those drums!
We love that we get the chance to lend a hand and help out this very worthy cause each year. Funding for arts in our communities is getting harder and harder to come by. We’d like to thank Kay Stamer, David Slutzky, the fine folks at the GCCA and all local arts councils for doing all that they do to keep arts alive in our communities.
If you didn’t make it out this time, next year consider joining us for an excellent time with an amazing group of people!

A few weeks after the wedding, Brendan posted this review on our WeddingWire storefront…
…Working with Yves & Amy and the Nite Time Band as our Wedding Reception Entertainment was by far the best investment and ultimate choice that took our wedding to a whole new level! I have no doubt that this amazing band was the reason for comments from our guests such as, “Your wedding was the most entertaining and fun event that I have ever attended,” and “I kept forgetting that you had a live band, it’s like the real artists were playing live for EVERY song,” and “Your band members were the best performers we’ve ever seen live…let alone at a wedding! RIDICULOUS!” I could go on and on, but words would not be enough to describe the satisfaction and thrill of the experience we had with Nite-Time.
From the very start, Yves, the band manager and drummer, was extremely professional and easy to work with. He was very accessible, responding to my numerous emails and calls with my questions and concerns no matter how small. He had a great balance of making suggestions and also allowing for our own special input and ideas. My wife and I had very specific requests, all of which Nite-Time accommodated. From a very specific song list for special events throughout the reception to even a groom’s performance with myself as the lead singer/guitar with the band! What my wife and I loved was how enthusiastic Yves and Amy were about their music as we were about our music choices and how confident they were in their own product. They openly invited us to reach out to former clients for feedback, but what sealed the deal was seeing the band perform live. They graciously pulled some strings to invite us to watch them in action at an exclusive wedding at the Yale Club in mid-town Manhattan. Another time, they even held a separate special event for potential clients at a local venue. By seeing them live, in their performing element will show anyone who knows music how professional, talented, and versatile the band can be. On top of playing amazingly seamless transitions, their repertoire was as vast as a 300 GB ipod. From Taio Cruz to James Brown, or even ZZ Top to the Temptations, the band could do it all and without any drop in performance level. The showmanship of all the band members was truly unbelievable! Amy, the band’s lead singer, carries a song and intrigues the audience with her incredible vocal range. At one point, the lead guitarist put his guitar upside down on his head while shredding out an incredible riff as the crowd went wild! Those are the types of things that make people say, “Your wedding reception was THE BEST!” and you know they really mean it.
From the bottom of our hearts, my wife and I would like to thank Yves and Amy and the wonderful Nite-Time band for making our wedding reception a once in a lifetime event filled with music, laughter and love. One that we will truly treasure and cherish forever!
-Brendan & Joy
