The CPR Band: This year's entertainment!
This year, we had a special treat. During the traditional social evening event, conference attendees were entertained by one of our own! That's right, kids: stalwart IAEAPE member Tom Ruggieri brought his band, CPR, to the conference this year, and they rocked the house while we all got to dance the night away listening to some great tunes.
CPR has been packing dance floors in the Washington/Baltimore area for more than 20 years. With a powerful horn section, strong vocals, and a song list that's sure to get any crowd dancing, CPR always puts on a killer live show with great music. When people go to a CPR show, they can't help themselves - they simply have a great time!
Here's a sampling from their impressive song list:
