The cost of producing our first-class shows is overwhelming--purchasing music, renting costumes, securing props--to name a few items--is a huge expense. Each member is asked to contribute $25 to help with some of these costs, but because part of our mission is to donate a large portion of our proceeds to local charities, we try to secure donations via sponsorships and fundraisers to help us with necessary expenses. To help offset the production costs, we host The Original Bandingo! Musical Bingo at the Paddock Pub on the THIRD THURSDAY of every month EXCEPT April and December. This is NOT your grandma's BINGO...but we promise you a night filled with a blend of bingo, music, trivia and interactive entertainment! Don't recognize some of the songs being played? No problem--we encourage you to ask your table mates, use an app like Shazam or even ask the hosts if you get stumped! $10 gets you 12 games and lots of fun and laughs!!! Doors open at 5:30 pm, games will be played from 6:30-8:30ish. Great prizes are awarded to winners, and we also host a 50/50 raffle! We hope you'll join us for this very popular evening of music and fun! Future dates are: June 19, 2025 Family Night* July 17, 2025 August 21, 2025 September 18, 2025 October 16, 2025 Masquerade/GMHN Benefit** November 20, 2025 There will be no Bandingo the month of December We will continue Bandingo in 2026 on the third Thursday of each month (except April and December) * Join us for a fun-filled evening of songs from Disney and kid's movies! Everyone is welcome, so bring your children and grandchildren. Admission is $10 per person ages 5 and up (please note that this event is best suited for children 5 years and older). Costumes of your favorite Disney or movie characters are encouraged! We anticipate this will be a popular event...reservations are required to guarantee admission. Click here to register. ** Come to our Halloween-themed masquerade party for a spook-tacular good time! All proceeds from this evening will be generously donated to Groveport Madison Human Needs. In anticipation of our 2025 "Back to the Future: A Musical Variety Show," we had a fun fundraiser in October (2024). Guests re-lived the magic of prom night as they stepped back in time (see what we did there) and into a world of retro charm at our "Enchantment Under the Sea: A Prom Night Do-Over!". We even crowned our very own prom queen and king! Check out memories from the evening at the video to the left. |
