ABOUT US
Grand Entertainment is the Booking Agency company affiliated with The Grand Band. It is a duly licensed legitimate business operating in Spanish Fort, Alabama, serving the Gulf Coast and Southeastern region areas.
The Glenn Normand Band was started in the early 1970's and also used the name, The Grand Band, for the bigger show group version of his smaller combo. The bands were so sucessful that a booking agency was started to handle the many requests for music, magic and comedy that resulted from the six state exposure of The Grand Band.
From 1977, the several booking companies under the leadership of Glenn Normand, handled entertainment arrangements for many of the party venues from Gulfport to Panama City, and North of the coast to Natchez, Chattanooga, and Atlanta to the Atlantic at Jacksonville. Originally the company was The Grand Band Booking Agency. In 1981, Bands, Incorporated was acquired, and the two companies were merged into Bands Agency. Around 1992, the name was changed to Bands & Entertainment, but that company was sold in 1996. The Grand Entertainment Agency was begun in 1998. Today, our extensive internet presence directs new customers to us from all over the country, while some of our long time customers have been booking with us for over 30 years.
Our purpose is to put the buyers, who need entertainment, together with the acts that want quality work, using sensible, proven formulas that ensure a trouble free event with an end result that the buyers and acts want to work together again. We have no exclusive acts that have been promised work, so we are free to suggest the most appropriate ones for a buyer's needs, facility and budget.
Our customers tell us they love working with us, because they can relax, enjoy their events, and know we will take care of the entertainment presentation (about 10,000 events so far). We treat our buyers like valued customers should be treated, and apparently, it's the right thing to do.
You might notice that we are one the very few agencies on the web listing ownership and giving full disclosure of terms, act fees, and contracts up front. We are proud of what we do, what we've accomplished, and welcome the opportunity to serve our customers in the future.
