While in Florida she began a year-long engagement singing jazz three nights a week with the Ed Connelly Trio at The Grosvenor Resort.

In 2002, after performing shows in her hometowns with Penumbra Theater and The Illusion Theater in the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, Banks moved to Lancaster and spent four seasons with American Music Theatre. In June of 2007 Banks returned to Disney World to reprise her roles in the The Festival of the Lion King before returning to AMT for a fifth season in 2008. Banks has also made a name for herself in Charleston, South Carolina, where she has joined Brad and Jennifer Moranz in five different original productions at the Charleston Music Hall over the past five years.

Banks was a founding participant in the Divas of Jazz, whose annual concert events raised over 70K to benefit The PA Breast Cancer Coalition.
