"Why is sexism still tolerated in our industry? We need an immediate and total change in attitudes across the board." -- James Rhodes Dancing Without the Band: Hit Television Show 'Dancing With the Stars' Fires Live Orchestra, Replaced by Dubstep DJs?
The Dancing With the Stars band--known as the Harold Wheeler Orchestra and Singers--have been sent their final notice to pack up and move out. Instead of paying for a big band ensemble, the producers of DWTS have announced that they will replace the group with a "small electronic band" of recorded music.
