Playing music can have a very positive effect on young people. High-quality instruments are needed by students in schools and by local organizations. Build-a-Guitar® was created and trademarked to serve this need. These guitar kits were specifically designed to provide a unique and exciting company event.
This worthwhile program incorporates engaging audio/video clues as well as fun challenges and activities. Groups use our new Brainstorm game and/or Minute 2 Win it activities to earn the parts necessary to assemble the guitars. Our new, browser-based activity, Brainstorm, incorporates fun photo and video challenges, trivia, and puzzles, providing full-group engagement by having all participants play on their personal devices with no download needed. Throughout the program, participants will be capturing photos and videos of each other in action.
After a fun icebreaker to get everyone “in gear”, your teams will receive their game instructions. As teams continually gain points, they will be rewarded with trips to our music store to obtain the parts needed. During assembly, periodic inspections will ensure the guitars are built to precise specifications.
In addition, teams will design and decorate a poster to reflect the unique personality of their “band”. Our Build-a-Guitar® kits also include a tuner, carrying case, audio cable, guitar strap, picks, and even a personal amplifier!
Once all guitars are built, don’t be surprised if a spontaneous jam session and photo op break out. So, let’s get rolling and build some guitars for future musicians of America, who will never forget your wonderful gift to their school or organization. At the conclusion of the program, a local charity or school representative may address your group and thank you for your donation.
To ensure the success of the experience, aspects of this event may be modified for your group size, group makeup, time available, and other variables.
Our historically popular iPad activities are still available upon request.”
When I contacted our national charity organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club, about what instruments are most needed for their music programs, they all said guitars! That turned out to be a real challenge, but I am thrilled to finally be able to add this cool program to our lineup of charitable CSR events.
I say finally because the key was the guitar. You can’t build a DIY guitar in an hour because they need to be sanded, stained, coated and then assembled, which takes hours because it involves gluing necks, drilling holes, and soldering connections.
So we hired a top guitar company to build us a guitar kit from scratch, with instructions, that could be assembled in an hour without all the steps mentioned above. They are excellent quality; one-of-a-kind guitar kits build exclusively for Best Corporate Events and they sound great! And each guitar comes with a strap, tuner, picks, and even an amplifier!
