Families are using creativity to celebrate each milestone this year especially online events – such as a graduation, a promotion, a performance, or even a goal achieved. To fuel your own creativity, we’ve created a list of some of our favorite ideas to create a “party-like” atmosphere for online or recorded performances.

  • Set a special time for viewing the recording and invite family and friends to do the same.
  • Watch the videos via zoom and share the link so that everyone is connected and able to comment/congratulate via the zoom chat.
  • Prepare a special dessert or favorite meal as part of the celebration.
  • Create decorations for the viewing area.
  • Take a moment to announce each new group performance and then applaud after each segment as if we were all together in a large space.
  • Take it outdoors and setup a viewing space in the backyard or driveway or garage (with the door open). The addition of a big screen using a white sheet or tablecloth is an added bonus.

As you celebrate your student’s performance or progress this year, we’d love to see your photos! Share them with your teacher or tag us on social media. #kathysmusicpgh
