So far, they’ve performed at youth dances, ward parties, stake events etc. and for a fundraising event.  Prices range depending on how long you want them to play but they are VERY REASONABLE!  They do this for fun mostly, not for the money.  Please contact Tyler Christensen, (801) 825-8378 or (801) 510-3717 if you’re interested in booking them for your event.

"Dating leads to marriage.  Marriage is a sacred religious covenant and in its most exalted expression may be an eternal covenant. Whatever preparation relates to marriage, whether it be personal or social, concerns us as members of the Church.

"If you are old enough to date, you are old enough to know that your parents have not only the right but the sacred obligation, and they are under counsel from the leaders of the Church, to concern themselves with your dating habits.

"If you are mature enough to date, you are mature enough to accept without childish, juvenile argument their authority as parents to set rules of conduct for you."

(Boyd K. Packer, "You're in the Driver's Seat," New Era, June 2004, 6)
