Cactus Country has become the most requested band for conventions & conference groups within San Antonio's growing convention market.  2008 is already a very busy year for convention groups, just check out our schedule to see all we've been doing!  The band works with the top destination management companies in the area as their primary choice for country plus variety entertainment.  The band has performed for over 400 such events, & understands the special needs required by visiting groups with participants from all over the country.  Popular locations for these events include Pedrotti's North Wind Ranch, Rio Cibolo Ranch, Buckhorn Hall of Horns, new Grand Hyatt, Convention Center including the "Grotto", Don Strange Ranch, Leon Springs Dancehall, Hyatt Hill Country Resort,  the Westin La Cantera, Sunset Station, Southwest Craft Center, La Villita, SIx Flags Over Texas, Cowboy's Dance Hall, Marriott Rivercenter, and many of the major Riverwalk Hotels.   Groups from all over the world, including Canada, Europe, Russia, South America, South Africa, and even Far East guests have had a foot stomping time at one of our shows.

Cactus Country's wealth of experience with these groups will help insure your participants will enjoy their reception or activity.  Starting with Texas style music and other country favorites, the band is well versed at working with dance instructors to get the audience on the dance floor.  In addition to line dancing, many groups enjoy learning special dances popular in Texas Honky Tonks, from the Cotton-Eyed Joe to the Boot Scootin' Boogie to the popular Chicken Dance.  If the client desires, the band can also swing into performing oldies rock-n-roll and classic rock hits to keep the dance floor hopping.  From "Old Time Rock and Roll" to "YMCA", from "My Girl" to "Unchained Melody", to the local favorite "Beach Boys & Grease" medley, the band's versatility surprises many people.  Even Elvis & Willie Nelson will sometimes show up to sing a song or two.  The group can even perform some of the regional Tejano music hits if the client would like to sample the "local flavor."

All types of groups have enjoyed the band's convention shows, including medical groups, teacher conventions, pharmaceuticals, church groups, insurance companies, automobile organizations, computer companies, dental organizations, manufacturing groups, retail & apartment associations, military groups,  and even the NBA New York Knicks (during the Spurs 1999 Championship Run!).  We've done events for both the FINAL FOUR, and the ALAMOBOWL, including PENN STATE ALUMNI at the 2007 game.  Your event is too important to settle for less; these experiences are key and allow Cactus Country  to insure you'll have the entertainment that will keep your group happy!
