FUNDRAISERS
It would be impossible for me to donate to every worthy cause or to purchase from everyone. Therefore, because it would be unfair to help one and not the other, it is my policy to not contribute to any of them. Thank you for understanding.
ALL PERFORMANCES ARE VOLUNTARY
ANNUAL PAGEANT
One recital per year in the fall. There is a $60.00 non-refundable fee for each participant.This fee helps to cover the cost of renting a venue, paying technicians, my assistants, etc.
(A maximum of $120.00 per household.) All Annual Pageant Participants receive a trophy.
Optional Costume Contest There must be at least 12 costumed performers to have a costume contest. The costume should be coordinated with the piece being performed and is judged on creativity, details, and whether it was home-made. Prize money of $30.00, $20.00, & $10.00 is awarded for 1st Place, 2nd Place, & 3rd Place costumes. From the 1st Place winners a Grand Prize winner will be selected and awarded an additional $50.00. (Ethnic apparel does not qualify as a costume.)
NON-COSTUMED PERFORMERS ARE REQUIRED TO DRESS FORMALLY. MALES MUST WEAR A SUIT AND A TIE. FEMALES MUST WEAR A LONG FRILLY DRESS. (APPROVED BY ME) ANYONE WHO IS NOT PROPERLY DRESSED WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PERFORM.
PIANO SOLO FESTIVAL
The Piano Bencher's Open and Costume Contest
This festival is held in April. There is a required list of music from which to choose. Each participant must memorize one piece in detail and he/she will receive a rating from a qualified judge. The judge will also select the best male and best female performance of the day to be declared King and Queen for that year. The King and Queen will receive an additional award as well as having their names permanently placed on a plaque on the wall in my studio. All participants are awarded a trophy that is presented at the following Annual Pageant. Each participant also receives 100 bonus points on his/her individual score sheet.
Optional Costume Contest: Prize money of $20, $15, & $10 is awarded along with a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Place Costume Trophy for the best costumes. Those who participate in the costume contest will have his/her photo taken and it will be posted. Everyone who comes to my studio during the following week may cast one vote for a costume. The Piano Bencher’s Open Entry fee is $20.00 and is non-refundable.
