Planning.
Start researching medals that you can use for awards at the end of your Summer Piano Olympics.
Oriental Trading has some great options and chocolate coins are a yummy alternative.
What about an Olympic Torch? You definitely need a fiery object for your opening and closing ceremonies. The one you see in the above photo was purchased here or you can just make your own.
The Summer Piano Olympics e-book will be coming out soon and you will find many more ideas for planning a successful event! Start looking around for items around your house that you can tuck away for use during this big event (timer, extra markers, popular CD’s, etc.)
