I'm pretty sure that is an exageration.

Personally the only mixing I noticed was the barmaid mixing the drinks and people mixing it up on the dance floor!

I suggest that next time we keep the event at the same location, skip the band and have the tech support  crew give a demonstration / lecture on the sound gear, mixing desks, lighting rigs and so on.

The band was pretty good but there were more folk drooling over the two mixing desks than watching the dancers.
