Pflugerville Piano PFormal
We are excited to announce the Winter 2026 Pflugerville Piano PFormal, proudly co-hosted by Pfluger-Rock and Out of this World Music Schools. We hope to continue to offer a variety of performance opportunities, so that everyone can participate where they feel most comfortable. This opportunity is ideal for those who are seeking a more traditional recital experience and venue. The venue has a concert grand piano for students to use. In addition to piano students, students who are interested in performing an acoustic instrument like violin or acoustic guitar are also welcome to join. Vocal performances are also welcome, but must be a cappella. Please note that we will not have any speakers or gear to facilitate electronic performances. Students should work with their instructor to select a song that best showcases their talents and interests. Song choice is due no later than 4 weeks before the concert, at the time of sign-up. We recommend choosing a song 8-12 weeks in advance to give plenty of time to polish the performance.***Please note that performers MUST remain present for the duration of their concert, no exceptions. Every student deserves a full house applauding their hard work. Concerts are no longer than a movie and are a celebration of music, inspiration, and community. ***

Warm-up at PflugerRock: We will be opening the rooms at Pfluger-Rock from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM for students to come and warm up before their performance. This is open to all performers and has no additional cost. Come and go at any time, but please note that we must shut down at 12:30 sharp so we can open the venue. There will not be time to warm up at the venue, so please do so either at home or at Pfluger-Rock!

Photos: We will have a designated chair up front for parents/family members to use during their child's performance. Once their performance ends, please return to your seat so that the next family may use it. There will be time allotted for families to take their own photos around the venue after the trophies are awarded.
Sign-Up Information: Sign-ups will open via an emailed link on November 1st at 2pm and close on November 7th. Signup may close earlier due to all slots being filled. Please sign up as soon as the link is sent out. Due to the considerable amount of planning required to put on our recitals, no late sign-ups will be accepted. Performer name, instrument, and song selection must be declared at signup. Please note that in order to be eligible, students must maintain active enrollment from October through December. All levels of musicianship are welcome. Performance slots are limited to a maximum of 5 minutes.

Satellite Showcase
Share your music with the whole galaxy! Our Satellite Showcases are a unique opportunity for students to submit video performances. These shows are a great option for students/bands wanting to make a music video, students who wish to perform multiple instruments on one song, students with stage fright, students interested in audio/video content creation, and are a fun experience for all! Recordings can be a simple cell phone recording, a full blown music video, or anywhere in between. Friends and family around the globe can tune in and enjoy the show!
Date & Time: Streaming December 20th at 2:00 pm
Video Submission Due Date: Saturday, December 5th. NOTE: If you have your video available to send ahead of the due date, please go ahead and send it! The sooner we have videos, the sooner we can start processing them. Thank you in advance!
Details: To participate, students must submit a video performance to lessons@outofthisworldmusicschool.com no later than midnight on December 5th. The following are the only formats accepted - Google Drive links, OneDrive Links, YouTube links, and zipped files.
The Satellite Showcases are open to all ages & skill levels! Students may choose their own song, however, we ask that song choice & videos are family-friendly so everyone can enjoy the show. Video performances can be a simple cell phone recording, a full blown music video, or anywhere in between. If you aren't sure you are ready to participate, please consult directly with your instructor. If you are not ready, don't fret! OOTWMS has a performance opportunity every 3 months. We encourage everyone to tune in and comment along the way to show support to performers. Once the live stream has ended, the showcase will remain available to watch at your convenience. If this is your first showcase and you need inspiration, we invite you to watch our previous virtual showcases at: https://www.youtube.com/user/OOTWMusicLessons

Tips & Suggestions:
Quiet on set! Remember that microphones can pick up sounds like ceiling fans, appliances, and even AC. If possible, choose a quiet place to record your performance. For the best audio outcome when playing along to a track, please send the audio recording of the performance and the track separately. The performer should wear earbuds or headphones while performing so that the recording device only picks up their performance audio. If you find that you are hearing unwanted sounds on your track, try turning the AC/heat off, turning ceiling fans and appliances off.
Lights! Cameras love light. Adding as much light as you can to your set will yield the best visual results. Remember, the camera is your audience. Consider giving your fans a quick intro before your performance and taking a bow after your song!
Camera! When using a hand held device, be mindful of both movement and sound interference. To avoid this, place your recording device in a secure position like a tripod/selfie stick/mount/etc. The microphones on these devices are quite sensitive and even the slightest movement or hand shifting can create loud pops/noises. If you are using a cell phone, please be aware that videos will be streamed in landscape. If you submit a video in portrait, it will be smaller in order to fit the screen.
Action! Have fun and get creative! Personalize your music video with a special backdrop, costume, props, pets, or even have your friends/family join in as extras on your set.
Applause! Tune in to the live stream and enjoy the many congratulations from your fans! Also, be a great audience member and leave positive comments for your fellow musicians.
