Bunny-Gram Funny Singing Telegram
A client calls up and says, “I would like a singing telegrams to embarrass my brother”. We tease each other (out of love) and the thing he “hates” the most is when I embarrass him. Fast forward to his birthday. He is hard at work with all of his co-workers. A singer in a bunny costume and a big bouquet of balloons shows up and walks through all the offices gathering all his co-workers by saying “the birthday bunny is looking for Mitch the birthday boy”. Everyone grabbed their cell phone cameras and started following the singer.
We arrive at his bosses office where was summoned to a fake meeting a few minutes before the singer arrived. The singer sings hands him the bouquet of balloons and announces that his “wonderful perfect sister wants to do something special for his birthday and she hopes this won’t embarrass him. The singer puts bunny ears on his head. The whole office is laughing and videoing as he turns bright red and says “I’m going to get her back, don’t worry!!” The singer sings “Happy Birthday” and then leads everyone in “Happy Birthday” followed by posing for lots of pictures. I’m sure he and his sister still tell the story.
One-Person Band
One of my favorites that we’ve done many times. Trombonist with bass drum on back and percussion instruments on arms and legs. The scenario goes like this: First, perform happy birthday on the trombone with percussion instruments after each phrase for comedy. Secondly, the one-person band musician sings Happy Birthday with custom extra verses.
One time the the one-person band musician was customized to pose as a crazy street musician and play for the birthday boy when he came out of a show.
Scene:
Musician: “I’m going to play something special for you! I bet you like the stylistics (birthday boy’s favorite band). This is for you, because ‘You Make Me Feel Brand New’. Woo!”
Musician plays: The Stylistics song “You Make Me Feel Brand New” in flamboyant way.
Musician says Toward end of song, “This is the lesser known part of the song,”
Musician plays: “Happy Birthday” in crazy way getting more recognizable at the end.
Musician: Sam If you haven’t guessed yet, your wonderful daughter-in-law Sarah let me know your having a very important birthday today.. She & Ken want to do something special for you so this is Your Singing Telegram!!!
This funny birthday singing telegram ended with a custom song with one funny verse and three personal verses.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Sam
Happy Birthday to you.So many kids that you raised
Some were not yours by birth
You gave God’s love to all of them
It’s just part of your worth.You take photos for fun,
And like to shoot a gun,
But don’t call you Samuel,
Not even in fun.Your family loves you,
And your wife Sheila too,
Sal is watching over you,
All are blessed by you.
Custom Lyrics from another One-Man Band Singing Telegram
From Daughters to Mom. Performed at work so all her co-workers could enjoy.
From your daughters to you,
this surprise is for you,
so what could be more grand
than a one woman band!You’re a really great mom,
and you stay really calm,
we know we all drive you crazy,
but you’re always supermom!Happy birthday to you,
From Ashley, Sherrie, Carly, Arrianna and Joey too.
Happy birthday dear Donna
Your a really great Momma.

Romantic Surprise Ideas with Musical Serenades
You are planning a perfect romantic surprise or romantic evening. Maybe it’s a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day or the day of your proposal. Hiring musicians for a romantic surprise in Orlando can make your night, a night, you both will always remember. Hiring musicians to play a romantic serenade will set the tone for the evening or be the big finish with musical romantic surprise.
Personalize romantic surprise serenades for the maximum effect
Coordinating the music to be a wonderful romantic surprise creates a huge impact for romantic serenades. Music Remembrance has created the most impactful surprises for years in Orlando for singing telegrams, music telegrams and romantic serenades by collecting details from our clients. We personalize the surprise in every way. Personalizing the music, personalizing the attire/costume, personalizing the surprise. Here are some examples that will give you some ideas for yours:
Romantic Birthday Serenade
For one birthday, we coordinated with the restaurant and had our guitarist/singer pretend he was strolling and performing for the restaurant. He came out to the private patio with the birthday girl and pretended he was performing there next. He said “How would you like a little Michael Buble?” This was her favorite singer. He stated to sing “It’s a Beautiful Day” (her favorite song). She was smiling and singing along. We rewrote the lyrics for the last sections of the song. We changed the words to “It’s your birthday.” and the rest of the verse described how this was a surprise gift from her daughter. The mother started to cry and the daughter who couldn’t be with her on her birthday had a video of the whole thing in a few minutes.
Romantic Surprise Proposal
For a romantic surprise proposal, a singer and guitarist came out at the soon-to-be fiance’s favorite restaurant performing a song that described their love, just as she got down on one knee. We coordinated with the restaurant who sat down champagne glasses seconds before we walked out.
Sending Romance Across The Miles
For a birthday we chose and opera singer for an opera fan. His fiance was in another country and couldn’t be there for his birthday. First, she called him first thing in the morning to say Happy Birthday” just as we showed up and knocked on his door. Second, when he opened the door the vocalist sang “Happy Birthday” operatic style. The singer included his fiance’s name in the song so that he knew it was from her. Lastly, to heighten the impact, we had a cake with his name on it and personalized balloons in the singer’s hand. In addition, She got to see the whole thing because we filmed it for her.
Consider personalizing the romantic surprise with these ideas:
- What is your recipient’s favorite instrument? If they have one, then request that!
- What is their favorite kind of music? Whether it’s country or classical choose instruments that play that kind of music and musicians that play it. Remember that with romantic music serenades in Orlando, the sky’s the limit. In Orlando, you may hire musicians on all instruments of any style. Orlando has everything from an opera singers, guitarists, violinists to dixieland and marching bands.
- Do they have a favorite song? Then have that performed as a personal romantic surprise.
- Do the two of you have a “our song”. Of course, request that it be performed.
- If using a singer, would your recipient prefer that you chose a female or male singer to serenade them?
- If they have a favorite singer you can often get an impersonator e.g. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra
- If you are using a special kind of music have the musicians dress the part. The sky’s the limit here. For example,
Over the rainbow on ukulele, have them wear a Hawaiian outfit
German music, lederhosen and dirndl dresses
Birthday music, birthday hats and balloons
Punk Rock song, punk rock outfit
1980’s song, 1980’s outfit

Using Brass Music for Weddings: Tips and lists of Brass Ensembles
Brass music adds a regal touch to any Orlando wedding. At the beautiful royal English weddings you will always hear the triumphant sound of the long fanfare trumpets. Brass music adds a sense of importance, regal atmosphere and pomp and circumstance. There are many different brass soloists and brass ensembles to fit a variety of types of wedding ceremonies, size of venues, and budgets and they are all available in Orlando and throughout Florida.
When it comes to making a strong regal statement at your wedding, the fanfare trumpets and/or a brass quintet or brass choir really stand out. Brass instruments can be heard without amplification in large venues and have the capability of playing softer for smaller venues. If you have a very large wedding venue and want a big sound, the larger the brass ensemble is, the louder the music can be. Even the largest brass ensembles like the brass quintet and brass choir still have the capability of playing softer for smaller wedding venues. Whatever you choose, brass music for weddings is always regal.
SMALL BRASS ENSEMBLES AND SOLOISTS FOR WEDDING MUSIC
Musicians are paid per person so for weddings on a budget a soloist or a small ensemble works best. Some of the nicest and most budget friendly choices are:
- Solo Trumpet
- Solo Piccolo Trumpet (smaller and higher pitched trumpet)
- Fanfare Trumpet (the very long trumpet used for fanfares)
- Trumpet and Organ
- Piccolo Trumpet and Organ
- Trumpet and Piano
- Piccolo Trumpet and Piano
- Trumpet Duo
- Piccolo Trumpet Duo
- Fanfare Trumpet Duo
- Trumpet Duo with Organ
- Piccolo Trumpet Duo with Organ
- Trumpet Duo with Piano
- Piccolo Trumpet Duo with Piano
- Brass Quartet (two trumpets, trombone & tuba or two trumpets and two trombones or two trumpets, french horn and trombone)
The fanfare trumpeters in this list add such a wonderful regal presence to weddings but are best used for fanfares (e.g. before the brides entrance). They are often not the best choice for complete songs for wedding processionals (walking down the aisle) or wedding recessionals (walking back down the aisle after the ceremony).
These brass ensembles and soloists work well for classical/traditional wedding music and other styles. If you are using unconventional music you can replace the trumpeters with other instruments to fully create a non-traditional atmosphere. Using brass with unconventional music can add a sense of balance and please a variety of guests. You can also replace the trumpeters with other brass instruments, like trombone or french horn, while using traditional music for a more unconventional sound.
LARGE BRASS ENSEMBLES FOR WEDDING MUSIC
For a more dramatic effect, the larger wedding brass ensembles are breathtaking. The look and sound are truly royal and have the capability of great volume when needed for large wedding venues. Some of these brass ensemble choices are:
- Brass Quartet
- Brass Quartet and Fanfare Trumpets
- Brass Quintet (two trumpets, french horn, trombone and tuba)
- Brass Quintet and Fanfare Trumpets
- Three, Four or more Fanfare Trumpets
- Brass Choir (also called Brass Ensemble)
- Brass Choir and Fanfare Trumpets
- Antiphonal Brass Choirs (Brass Choirs or Brass Quintets on two, three or four sides of the venue). To hear this effect listen to the Antiphonal Brass Choirs of Gabrieli.
- Antiphonal Brass Choirs (Brass Ensembles) and Fanfare Trumpets
Percussion may be added to any of the larger brass groups.
Whether you go with a dramatic large ensemble, a smaller brass ensemble or a brass soloist, using brass music for your Orlando or Florida wedding will set a classy and regal tone that your guests will remember.
