They are all incredible musicians. Flawless performance of Queen and ABBA songs. The unintended highligh was when the fireworks began at the baseball game cross the river. They sounded like they were inside our building but the quartet continued the show through this challenge and made it a memorable part of the show. They are true professionals! I'd give the 100 stars. GREAT JOB!!! 💥
