FUN

There was plenty of fun happening under cover at our birthday bash undercover!

Thank you to the Face Painter with Events by Maddy. There were a lot of happy masks on happy faces. We also want to thank the Henna Artist, HennabyHeeruasa for her beautiful designs.

We have another thank you to Awesome Entertainment for the crowd pleaser activity of the party, The Dunk Tank. Watch our video of our teachers getting dunked for charity. All $400+ of the proceeds from the dunk tank went to the Humane Society of Delaware County.

Our last thank you goes to long time members of our community, a family who has taken lessons at Music Royale for years also has a delicious food truck, Big Mouth Egg Rolls, and they made the food for our birthday bash!

Since opening doors in 2002, Jesse McNamara established Music Royale as a friendly neighborhood music store. The Music Royale team has focused on creating a supportive and positive community for all music students to grow. Many charity events throughout the year are hosted by Music Royale to benefit local organizations such as, Columbus City School District, Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio, and more.

Private lessons were only the beginning for Music Royale. Since opening, Music Royale and our teachers have developed many performance and learning opportunities for the students. Check out our Rock School performances, Open Mic Nights, Recitals, & Music Royale Music Makers: Discovery Group Classes for Elementary General Music Students.
