Unstoppable Energy at a Historic Chicago Landmark
When Guarantee Trust Life Insurance Company (GTL) celebrated its historic 90th anniversary milestone, CEO Richard S. Holson, III personally requested that Perfect 10 Band return to headline the celebration in Chicago. Having originally performed for GTL six years prior, the band was honored to answer the call for this monumental return engagement.
To mark nearly a century of success, GTL took over the legendary Great Hall at Chicago Union Station. Spearheaded by event experience agency Creative Group, the evening transformed one of the nation's most iconic architectural treasures into an immersive, high-elegance corporate gala.
Monumental Scale & Precision Technical Production
Executing live entertainment inside a historic architectural masterpiece with 110-foot soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings and massive Corinthian columns requires world-class production management. Partnering with Black Oak Technical Productions, who provided all sound and lighting infrastructure, Perfect 10 Band delivered studio-quality audio and dynamic visual impact:
Tailored Acoustic Engineering: Black Oak Technical Productions deployed state-of-the-art line-array sound design to manage the natural resonance of Union Station's stone architecture, ensuring dynamic brass horn hits and crystal-clear vocals from speech presentations through the final dance set.
Art Deco Lighting & Visual Design: High-impact lighting grids illuminated the custom Art Deco stage backdrop, Tiger-patterned dance floor, and towering historic columns, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.
Continuous 3-Hour Non-Stop Performance Format
To keep the momentum going, Perfect 10 Band delivered our signature 3-hour non-stop performance set. By eliminating traditional set breaks, we kept the custom dance floor packed all night long, weaving seamlessly between Top 40 hits, Motown classics, high-energy pop, R&B, and classic rock anthems.
Repeat executive engagements—like returning at the personal request of CEO Richard S. Holson, III—reflect our commitment to client trust, seamless collaboration with world-class agencies like Creative Group and production partners like Black Oak Technical Productions, and elite musicality for high-profile corporate galas nationwide.
