Successful Entertainment Production
Tip #7 – Patriotism is Always in Style
Adding a patriotic element to your special event provides your attendees with a welcome sense of pride. Here are various suggestions to achieve this goal:
- A Dixieland Band, performing at the entrance to the venue or ballroom, providing a lively, upbeat atmosphere
- A Soloist, with or without an accompanist, singing the “National Anthem” at the beginning of your program, with optional Color Guard.
- A Marching Band, leading your guests from one event to another; or making a special entrance during your event, including a short program of patriotic music to honor America’s heroes; or sending them off for the conclusion of your convention.
- A Patriotic Show, “Rhapsody America”, including a narrator, 8-piece band, 3 vocal soloists, and a kids choir, showcasing music through the years, tailored to your event, your theme, and your guests.
- A Fife and Drum Corp in full costume providing a spirited program.
- Herald Trumpets to announce a special entrance.
- A Bagpiper for honoring special warriors.
- A USO themed show, including a swing orchestra and dancing.
- A Choir, presenting a selection of patriotic songs.
- A Brass Band, presenting marches and patriotic selections, in military-style attire.

Successful Entertainment Production
Tip #6 – Atmosphere is Everything
The band is set, along with the caterer and featured speakers. Successful event? Possibly, but consider:
- Is there a theme woven throughout your event?
- Do all of the musicians, from the entrance, to cocktails, dinner, awards ceremony, special presentations, featured entertainment, and dancing, have song selections to perform which match the theme?
- Is the lighting highlighting exactly what you wish to have highlighted, with the appropriate colors?
- Does the lighting change as the event progresses?
- Is the cuisine carefully matched to the theme?
- Are the linens, chairs, and all rentals enhancing your theme?
- Are the centerpieces carefully crafted to provide continuity with your decor?
- Were the guests instructed on proper dress for the event?
- Is there a special fun/color/request for the guests to bring to or receive once at the event?
The overall atmosphere will create an event to remember…make it special!
