Well, I’m starting to recover if that tells you anything.

We had a BLAST!!

One of our guests (a 30-something guy & relative from the East Coast) told me it was the best reception party he had ever been to, ALL things involved, which made me feel great, since I was the main planner, decorator, bottle washer, etc-LOL.

The players read the crowd so well & stayed in an extremely appropriate show, with enough child interaction & adult content for the ones that enjoyed that part of it. Both the little ones AND the older guests had a BLAST! They did a great job “M.C.ing” the Grand Entrance, & picking people out of the crowd. That actually took pressure off of me, knowing they would handle all of that!

The next day, we had the “worst blizzard” of the winter hit the valley, and we knew it was coming. Some of our guests left early to get back on the road. But those that stayed almost wouldn’t leave – haha!!

I’m so glad, in a way, that we did not have any longer of a show. I was satisfied with the length and ready to call it a night by the time the DJ part of the show finished. I couldn’t believe all the dancing that occurred during that part of the night, young and old!

Bottom line, AWESOME!!

Thank you for to everyone involved for your professionalism, communication skills, talents and personalities!

I will recommend you for future events.

I hope people can “get past” the cost – what I would say to them is – cut out chair covers, special linens, huge decor, etc and ENTERTAIN YOUR GUESTS!!

North Dakota gets it!

Two shows have already booked for NEXT December in North Dakota. It’s no B.S. when we say some dates fill up FAST and far out. The Fun Pianos dueling pianos show in Fargo has shown that we are just a couple of guys yelling out songs and hoping the audience will sing. Dueling pianos in Bismarck, Fargo and throughout North Dakota and the whole country with Fun Pianos is an interactive FUN show with laughter, and entertainment beyond just (hopeful) singalong.

If it isn’t FUN PIANOS, it isn’t FUN! Big holiday dates for NEXT year ARE filling up NOW!

Fun Pianos is proud to say that all of the eighteen dueling pianos shows from last weekend (Dec. 11 and 12) went very well. The Nebraska crowds were delighted with the six shows in Nebraska: Broken Bow, Grand Island, Omaha, Scotts Bluff, Humphrey and Lincoln. There were four shows Deep in the heart of Texas: The Woodlands, San Angelo, Houston and Monahans. To the North in the Dakotas there were shows in Sioux Falls, Jamestown, Fargo and Cedar Rapids. One show was in Rosholt Wisconsin, one was in Oskaloosa Iowa, and there were two in sunny Scottsdale Arizona.

Playing musical chairs….. Literally.

Assigning players isn’t done randomly. In fact, when you book a show, most of the time the player closest to you is the one assigned to your event…. but that isn’t ALWAYS the case. Here at Fun Pianos, we are often asked how we decide which dueling piano players will be assigned to do each show. Although we have offices in Omaha Nebraska, Phoenix Arizona and Tampa, Florida, we have players from all over the United States who will go anywhere to do shows. It is well known that Sam is from Detroit but has been living in Seward Nebraska for some time now. Jefrey currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona, Steven lives in Los Angeles, California, and some players from Michigan as well as other states. Although Tyler is originally from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area, he lives in Tampa, Florida now along with Chris and their piano playing neighbor Keith has a place in Orlando. Katy is a Chicago girl, Steve lives in Houston, Texas and Gary just moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. With all of these players all over the place, it would seem that it would be difficult to do a show in a place like Manhattan, Kansas or Fargo, North Dakota – but Fun Pianos will go anywhere! We have been known to do shows in places as small as Grafton, NE (pop. 122) and as far away as Portland, Maine San Diego, California, Miami, Florida and Seattle, Washington. So the players who get assigned to do these shows are often chosen by their proximity to another event. If we were to do a show in Denver, Colorado – we might have a team of players come from Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Iowa, or even North Dakota or South Dakota (if that is where a previous show was). For instance, if a team were to find themselves in Des Moines, Iowa on one night, they could easily do a show in Ottumwa, Iowa the next night and then bring dueling pianos to Minneapolis, St. Paul or Milwaukee on the following night. So Fun Pianos takes a lot into consideration when choosing which piano players are going to do which shows. If you are considering having Dueling Pianos at your next event feel free to contact us at any time.

Silent Night in Fargo ND, Sioux Falls SD, Madison WI and Dallas TX? Nope. Not on our watch!

Fun Pianos by 176 Keys Dueling Pianos has never been accused of being too quiet! As a matter of fact… we like to have so much FUN, we can hardly contain it. We are taking our show to 15 different events in the next 4 days! We are going to haul out the “jolly” in everyone! Check out some fun facts about “Silent night”…

Silent Night (1818)

Words: Josef Mohr
Music: Franz Xaver Gruber
Arguably the world’s most popular Christmas carol comes in several different translations from the German original. It started out as a poem by the Austrian Catholic priest Father Josef Mohr in 1816. Two years later, Mohr was curate at the parish church of St Nicola in Oberndorf when he asked the organist and local schoolteacher Franz Xaver Gruber to put music to his words.

An unreliable legend has it that the church organ had been damaged by mice, but whatever the reason, Gruber wrote it to be performed by two voices and guitar. It was first performed at midnight mass on Christmas Eve 1818, with Mohr and Gruber themselves taking the solo voice roles.

Its fame eventually spread (allegedly it has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects) and it famously played a key role in the unofficial truce in the trenches in 1914 because it was one of the only carols that both British and German soldiers knew.
