The David Whiteman Band New Year’s Eve 2023 Party

The David Whiteman Band New Year’s Eve 2023 Party is at the Marriot Hotel at Legacy Town Center in Plano. It’s an entertaining dance party and band that plays Top 40, pop songs, R&B, funk, hip hop, rock, and many other popular music genres.

The band has male and female vocals, a five-piece horn section, keyboards, a rhythm section, and more. They play classic favorites and the latest hits, so you could hear covers of songs from David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Prince, Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Wonder, AC/DC, Queen, Pat Benatar, Cardi B, and more.

There’s a dress code, so you’ll need cocktail or black-tie attire. Baseball caps, T-shirts, tennis shoes, and jeans aren’t allowed, and masks may be required in such areas as the restrooms and elevators. Several packages are available, and everyone will get party favors until they run out. Other options include a champagne toast, a three-course dinner, reserved seats, valet parking, a chance to meet the band, and special hotel room rates. Depending on the package you choose, admission costs from $100 to $300 per person. You must be at least 21 years old to enter.
