Building linked by music
Why Drupal was chosen: 

Drupal was chosen because we needed to have a quick setup and had limited resources to build our own platform.

Pantheon was used to provide our hosting and it has proven to be a really good solution. Apache Solr and Pantheon came right out of the box.
