MORE IDEAS: Paul Young here- One of my clients had me sing their customized version of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” and, during the intro, instead of mentioning the names of the deer, I was singing the names of employees who were entering the room wearing novelty reindeer antlers. Another client had me act as a “tour guide” taking guests on a tour of different countries during a slide show they’d prepared. There has also been a client that hired me to bring in tables, chips and cards for some 16-player Texas hold Em tournaments, where I was the M.C. for the awards presentation and I played songs with poker references while they were playing. There also have been events where I played live banjo or steel drum. I’ve done an event where I played live electric guitar during the dance, because I was booked as part of a live band for the social hour earlier in the evening. The request that took the most time to prepare, was one where I was provided with a list of names of all the employees in advance and was told to find something to play for each of them as they walked to the podium to receive a special award – they gave me names, their departments, and any interesting fun facts they could think of, and I went through my music collection -- and prepared a CD with a sound bite for each employee. Someone named Amy walked up as I played part of "Once in Love with Amy" sung by Sammy Davis, Jr.; Another employee, with stock car racing as a hobby, walked up to race engine sound effects and the refrain to "I Love Nascar" - and so forth! One more example: A client had me create 100 “Band Bingo” cards and run a Bingo game where I played a bit of a song, while guests guessed the name of the band (and at the end of each one I congratulated the table of guests where the correct guess came from first) How it turned out: We did not stop to “clear the cards” when there was a bingo, so winners simply lined up in front and were handed prizes while the rest continued playing. Eventually, all of the guests won something. |
