Welcome! We are pleased to introduce ourselves as one of Manitoba’s most exciting, longest running and versatile Ukrainian/Top 40 wedding & party bands: “The High Profile Dance Band.” Based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, “High Profile” has been performing at various functions throughout Winnipeg, Southern Manitoba and beyond for over 25 years. The 5 extremely approachable and friendly members of “High Profile” bring many years of combined musical experience to provide you with a musical extravaganza that you will not soon forget.
Note: Just because “High Profile” has been around for a long time, that doesn’t mean we play exactly the same type of music when we first started. We are always updating our set list with popular songs! Our fans are raving about our versatility. Definitely, visit our Testimonials page to see what some of our audiences have had to say about us!
“High Profile” performs at the following types of functions:
- weddings & anniversaries (throughout Winnipeg and much of Manitoba)
- banquets (ie. corporate functions)
- festivals (inside and outside of Manitoba)
- house parties, etc.

So what can “High Profile” do for you? Well, “High Profile” is a rare type of band ie. we can play both Ukrainian and Contemporary with the same high standard for each musical style that is not easily replicated. In this way, “High Profile” has the ability to bring together 3 generations of music lovers in one evening. Plus, “High Profile” likes to inject a little humour into its act to leave audiences with smiles from ear to ear.
The band members are not only accomplished players on stage, they have also developed their talents in the recording studio. The result is that “High Profile” has recorded 3 very successful Ukrainian CDs. (Please refer to the Discography page for more information as there are MP3 clips for you to download!!!). All recordings exemplify that “High Profile” can modernize Ukrainian music while maintaining the traditional approach. Both CDs have received extensive airplay across Canada and now are being played in the United States.
We have a page called Live Audio Clips for you to get an audio sample of our live performances of various material. We have just updated our clips from a very recent live performance. We hope you find them delivering an energetic atmosphere as if you were part of it! Also, if interested, please go to the Videos page to access some live footage of the band.
Furthermore, a page called Radio Interviews is available. Have a listen to a radio interview with Darren Gagaluk of “High Profile.”
