Manage Handwrytten Notes

People left early, the venue expected us to be out like an hour prior so the workers had to sit there waiting while we cleaned up, the children were blasting music on their phones for the last hour in the corner WHILE WE PERFORMED and despite our mentioning it in private and on mic nothing was done about it by their parents/the venue/the hosts, AND they put the tortillas at the opposite end as the plates and all the ingredients in the middle! It should have been an hour shorter, my partner felt like he was asleep with how much engagement/energy he was giving it even in the opening hours, and while I can understand that we had a gig for the same people the next day, we could have still put on an actual show...

The Yakima Tennis Club was filled with energy as friends and neighbors gathered for an unforgettable night of dueling pianos. More than just music, the evening was about community—supporting Haley Larson and Ryan Beckett in their goal of joining the West Valley School District. The generosity in the room was inspiring, and every cheer, and every donation brought us one step closer to making a difference for these two dedicated educators.

Only at a dueling piano show could you hear a song about dinosaurs in space fighting sharks with lasers, belt out “Sweet Caroline” with a full crowd, and sway to “Lady in Red” all in one evening! We kept the Yakima Tennis Club audience laughing, singing, while taking every request in stride. The variety of songs was as eclectic as the guests, and the joyful noise carried the night forward with heart and humor.

Our dueling piano night at the Yakima Tennis Club proved that when music meets community, magic happens! From chart-toppers to country classics together we raised crucial funds to help Haley Larson and Ryan Beckett in their journey to serve students in the West Valley School District. Thank you to everyone who sang, requested songs, and gave with open hearts!
