The band was awesome and my guests loved their play list which kept everyone dancing! The band was very nice and friendly.
Our short event was anything short of a party, thanks to the band. They read the room, allowed people to socialize, but kicked it up a notch and everyone had a great time!

"High 5 was great!! They played our preferred set list and even learned a few new songs that we really wanted to hear. Dealing with the band was easy and without headaches. Many of our guests came up during our reception and also since have told us how phenomenal High 5 was. If you have a chance, book this band!!"

"High 5 was absolutely amazing. Anthony is so easy to work with and is accommodating to any requests. We were beyond satisfied and would recommend them to anyone. I have gotten so many compliments since my wedding about High 5!"
- Wedding Wire
"High 5 is an amazing band!! Everyone at my wedding raved about how great they were. They played music that all ages of people loved and danced to. We didn't want the night to end!!! I have given our their information to multiple people and would highly recommend them!"
- Caitlin
"We definitely had a lot to ask of our band and above and beyond was provided. We wanted a band for our wedding music but my husband's family is also Armenian so we wanted some Armenian songs DJed as well. We also had the band do our ceremony and cocktail hour music. Anthony really invested his time in us and making sure everything was how we wanted it, especially with the Armenian side of it. We couldn't be happier with our music and how great they all were, and such a talented band. Wish our reception could have been longer to hear more of the band's sets! Would definitely recommend to anyone."
- Jessica
"High 5 with Lowcountry Entertainment Service was the perfect band for our wedding reception! All of our guests had a great time, and everyone has been asking where we found the band because they loved the music!
Anthony and the rest of the band were professional, fun, and easy to work with. They learned the songs for our dances and played just how we wanted. The band did a great job getting the crowd excited and dancing. It was really the perfect band for us, and the best money we spent for our wedding.
I've recommended High 5 to several people planning upcoming weddings and parties and will continue to do so. I just hope I have a reason to hire a band again because I would love to have High 5 play one more time!!"
- Eileen
"Anthony at Lowcountry was great to work with. We used High 5 for our wedding. The band was great. Good music, very professional and received a lot of compliments. They were flexible with our requests too."
- Craig
"High 5 did an amazing job playing my wedding reception! We had several meetings prior to the event date and they provided an extensive lists of songs I could choose from to create my own playlist. They offered to play any additional songs if I wanted something specific. During the event they customized their set based on how I wanted my reception structured, entrance, cake cutting and toasts. The sound quality was great and the energy in the room was awesome! Everyone enjoyed dancing for hours! They were very easy to work with and affordable. I would highly recommend High 5 Band if you are looking to have the best dance party EVER at your reception!"
- Meghan
"High Five COMPLETELY made our wedding! Our guests had a such a blast - it was the most fun evening and celebration we dreamed of. I am still having friends tell me our band and reception was the best they've been too (and I would not say that). Our first dance was Romantic and sweet- and then the night kicked off with awesome music and fun with the Band! Our guests even started a limbo contest :) As you'll see from photos and our wedding video- the evening was nothing short of AWESOME. "
- Ashley
"We used High 5 Band for our after rehearsal dinner party. They were amazing. They were flexible, arrived on time, and got everyone on their feet to dance. We were told they were better than our actual wedding day band. They even learned 'our song' just for us. I highly recommend these guys! You are in a for a great time."
- Wedding Wire
"I have booked High 5 for a couple of events over the past years. They are very prompt with their communication, have an awesome song selection, and are very professional to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a band for great value for great entertainment. They really know how to keep the party going! "

Glenn Miller - Vocals, Bass, Alto/Bari Saxophone
Born in the small town of Abilene, TX, Glenn emerged himself in the music scene at an early age by banging on anything he could find and playing his mom’s piano and organ in the house. Glenn grew up surrounded by a talented musical family with his mom being a professional pianist/organist, his dad a choir singer, and his brother a jack of all trades.
Glenn started getting serious with music when he and his family moved to Charlotte, NC in 1986. He joined the school band in 5th grade playing the alto saxophone. Glenn rose through the ranks quickly landing 1st chair and remained there all throughout high school. He also explored more avenues of music during school by joining the high school marching band and jazz band where he was the solo bari saxophone player. During this time he and best friend Tedlee-T formed his first band called Yuba Gold, a rap group with sick beats and killer synth sounds and played several parties and variety shows throughout high school and college.
Glenn moved to Charleston, SC in 2002 and prior to joining High 5 he has played in several successful bands playing both covers and originals such as Henry’s Attic, Category 6, The Remedy, County Line Strangers, Loners Society, Corinne and The Resolution, and City Station. He has played multiple roles within these bands as a drummer, bassist, guitarist, alto/bari saxophonist, and both backup and lead vocalist. Glenn is very passionate about music. He enjoys a wide variety of genres including altertnative/grunge rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, industrial, electronic, drum and bass, pop, oldies, and classical music. Rest assured, Glenn will be listening to, creating, exploring and playing music for the rest of his life.
