Fees & Invoicing
We use Square for our invoicing. It provides an email invoice with all of the details for your event with the added convenience of paying by expense credit or debit card directly from the invoice or by card the day of the event. We will forward an invoice when you book us or the month prior to the event if you are booking ahead for the year. Our fees vary depending on method of payment (we are full time performers and depend on timely payment for our livelihood). All invoices paid "prior to" or "on the day" of an event are discounted. Call (540) 339-4170 or use the form to the right to contact us to discuss performance fees and times, etc.

COVID-19 Resources

Check out a Contactless Courtyard Concert!

We have developed creative ways to offer our entertainment services and follow CDC guidelines and your facility guidelines. We are offering a few options for you to consider and of course, in your specific time frame. We just want to let you know we have developed these services with senior living facilities in mind.

Facebook Streaming Music Programs - We are offering this service at no charge – absolutely free!

We have a private group page on Facebook just for activity directors. Activity directors can request to join here >RagTop Entertainment Senior Services (Private Facebook group page)

We provide music entertainment directly to your facility and you can access it for your events when ever you want! We can schedule a live show stream to our group anytime and we also offer pre-recorded programs (sing-a-longs, holidays, any occasion, etc) to use on demand.

 Contactless Courtyard Concerts - Outdoor live music for indoor residents to enjoy! (these shows depend on weather - we are now scheduling for Spring/Summer/Fall 2021)

We have already been working with senior living facilities and providing live music entertainment this way. We play in an outside patio/courtyard/spot on the lawn and have NO contact with any residents or staff. We do not enter the facility or approach an entrance. We use our large PA system for some locations and for others we have a powerful small system that can run on battery power for up to 6 hours. Once we are set up, staff opens some windows for the residents to enjoy the live music! We use Square for invoicing and the entire process is contactless and safe!

It is difficult to know how things will proceed day-to-day but we want you to know these options are available. We are keeping safe and practicing social distancing while finding ways to keep the music entertainment alive for all of the awesome residents of our senior living facilities!
