Live Entertainment For College Shows Nationwide
Bring a request-driven sing-along to orientation, homecoming, and late-night programs. Our piano pros turn student crowds into the show with clean comedy, quick transitions, and a venue-ready package.
Our shows thrive on audience participation. Students and attendees become part of the performance, requesting songs, singing along, and even joining us on stage for unforgettable moments.
From classic rock and country to R&B, show tunes, and today’s Top 40 hits, our talented pianists cater to diverse musical tastes so that every audience member finds something they love.
Since 1999, we’ve performed at over 200 colleges, often returning multiple times a year due to popular demand. In 2011, we were awarded Performer of the Year by the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA).

FAQs About Dueling Pianos Shows for Campus Events
Two pianist-emcees who both host and perform, professional keyboards and microphones, and a venue-ready sound setup are provided. The show is built around live requests, sing-along moments, and quick pacing that keeps students involved from the first chord to the finale.
We also coordinate with your campus contact, share a simple stage plot, and provide standard paperwork on request. Our team manages the flow of the night: walk-in music, the main program, and a clean wrap, so your timeline stays on track.
The production footprint is compact and self-contained, with clear sightlines and standard power needs. It works in unions, gyms, theaters, outdoors, and more without heavy lifting from your staff.
Ahead of your date, we’ll send an updated tech sheet tailored to the room and collaborate with campus AV teams on any house gear. Outdoor programs just need weather cover and a basic power plan.
Most programs land best in a single feature set or two shorter sets with a brief break. Late-night blocks, orientation windows, and festival schedules are easily accommodated.
We design a run-of-show you approve in advance, including transitions, announcements, and any special moments you want highlighted. Pacing stays tight, so participation remains high throughout.
Yes. Tone is calibrated to your guidelines and audience mix! We can design the material to work for students, families, alumni, and staff, and keep the language clean and the participation inclusive.
Before showtime, we confirm any “do and don’t” notes, preferred themes, and sensitivities. That prep lets the entertainers keep the energy up while staying aligned with campus standards.
To give you a fast, accurate quote and place a hold, it helps to have:

- Campus/venue and any load-in constraints
- Estimated audience size and mix
- Program goal (orientation, homecoming, fundraiser, etc.)
- Preferred run time and schedule
- Content/tone guidelines (PG notes, themes, do/don’t)
- Tech notes or house AV contact
- Accessibility considerations
- Procurement steps (PO, contract, W-9/COI)
If some details are still in flux, no problem—we’ll talk it through by phone, tailor recommendations to your setup, and map clear next steps so you can reserve your night with confidence.
