YOUR NIGHT.
MIDWEST DUELING PIANOS / PERFORMANCE ARCHIVE
YOUR EVENT. YOUR ENERGY.
Make the cause part of the evening.
Midwest Dueling Pianos can discuss an interactive show for your gala, benefit, association event, or community fundraiser. Music gives guests a reason to connect while your organization keeps its mission at the center. The entertainment plan should support your fundraising program and leave the important asks clear and easy to hear.
01 / PLAN THE NIGHT
Start with the program, then place the music.
Map out the welcome, meal, speaker, auction, appeal, and entertainment. Protect the moments when you need everyone listening to your cause. A performance segment can build energy before an appeal or celebrate the evening afterward. Share who is running the program and who will cue each transition.
02 / PLAN THE NIGHT
Agree on how requests and donations work.
Some organizers want to connect song requests with donations or friendly musical competitions. Discuss that idea before promoting it. Confirm who collects funds, how payments work, where the money goes, and what the performers have agreed to do. Do not treat tips, proceeds, or a fundraising total as automatic parts of the show.
FROM THE PERFORMANCE ARCHIVE
Picture your night.
The audience becomes part of the show.
Ready for a room full of people.
Performance and setup examples from the Midwest Dueling Pianos archive. Locations and production vary by event.
01 / PLAN THE NIGHT
Make the numbers work for your organization.
Compare entertainment costs with venue, catering, marketing, and other event expenses. Estimate ticket income separately from sponsorship and donations. Use your own conservative attendance assumptions. A piano show can support an engaging evening, but it cannot guarantee revenue or attendance.
02 / PLAN THE NIGHT
Give sponsors and volunteers clear jobs.
If sponsor recognition is part of the program, prepare approved names and pronunciations. Assign someone to welcome performers, manage the schedule, and answer venue questions. Keep volunteer payment collection and the stage area organized so the musicians can focus on the performance and your team can focus on supporters.
