AMAZED AT THE STRONG AUDIENCE
PARTICIPATION
"Wow, everyone had a
phenomenal night once again!
[This was their 2nd annual
fundraising event with Piano
Wars!] I can't thank
you enough for wowing the
audience the way you did.
Sitting in the back this time, I
had a different perspective and
was amazed at the strong
audience participation.
The Board sent emails right off
on Sunday to say what a great
time it was and how great the
audience participation and
turnout was. We'll be talking
all about it at our Board
meeting tomorrow night."

E X C E P T I O N A L !
“What
an exceptional night! I don't think any of us have
come down from the wonderful event that Piano
Wars! helped create. We all randomly spoke with
people during and after the event . Everyone left
with a smile and spoke of the fabulous time they
had. This could not have been the success it was
without you.
We had our Board
meeting last night and couldn't say enough great
things about the event and what an amazing job you
did. We unanimously - no discussion needed -
decided that we'd like to do this again with
Piano Wars! next year.”

A HIT!
"Piano Wars! was
a hit! LOTS AND LOTS of favorable comments. In fact two people asked me
for you phone number. They are thinking of ways you can help them with
their own fund raisers, so hopefully you’ll get more business.
Here is an e-mail I just received:
STILL RAVING!
'I
wanted to let you know that our staff is still raving about your Dueling
Pianos event. Kudos to you and your team. Everyone attending
had such a blast! Thanks for inviting us to be part of such a memorable
evening.
Thanks for a great time!"

FABULOUS!

party! Congratulations to our great staff, the dueling piano players and

MASTER ENTERTAINERS.
"We recently had the
pleasure of having Dave Caruso’s Piano Wars! perform at a
fund raiser.
The guys were a blast and are
masters at getting the crowd involved and having fun without making anyone
uncomfortable. They had the whole room roaring with laughter, singing, and
simply having a fantastic time.
The fun and interaction of the
show its self is only half of what makes piano wars so impressive. Dave
is incredibly professional and meticulous in coordinating the event. He
was in contact with me several times before the event just to make sure
everything was coming along OK and to see if we needed anything. He
actually sends over a diagram of the optimum way to arrange seating. He
also sends over an event check list that lets you pick the type of pre-
and post-performance music, the language rating for the show (G, PG, or
R), what time the dinner music should start, when the entertainment should
start etc. They even asked for a few names of “good sports” to be called
up to the stage to interact with the guys.
Whether you have planned
events in the past or this is your first time, you will love working with
Piano Wars. The performance is a guaranteed success but more importantly,
Dave Caruso makes the process so easy all you have to do is provide the
venue, promote it and they do the rest."
Dennis
Murphy
Northville, Michigan
THE
CROWD LOVED IT!
"We
recently had Dave Caruso's Piano Wars! dueling piano show for a
fundraiser event. Dave was extremely professional and organized and he
helped us every step of the way, setting up our event to best suit our
particular needs. The crowd LOVED Piano Wars! Dave did a
great job getting the crowd going with lots of audience participation.
I would recommend them for any type event you might have. It was
wonderful!"
