Event Recap Texas Music Revolution at Kelly’s Art Shack
Reflections on community, creativity, and the rhythm of growth
This weekend’s Texas Music Revolution brought music, creativity, and community vibes to Downtown McKinney — and while we had a blast, we're always looking to grow from each experience.
✨ Highlights:
- Our live band delivered both nights, arriving on time and playing to the energy of the room like pros.
- The vibe inside the Shack was full of positive spirits and creative energy from our team and guests.
- We pulled together some awesome event graphics and email promos that captured the mood beautifully.
- The space was fully cleaned and styled before showtime, thanks to the hustle of our crew.
🚧 What We’re Working On:
- We didn’t get the bingo & trivia crowd we hoped for — next time, expect clearer promos and maybe a fresh twist.
- While designs were on point, we completed them the day-of, giving us little time to hype things up.
- It was a hot one! The air was stagnant, which made things tough. We’ll be investing in cooling setups for summer events.
- We operated at about 65% of our target turnout — which tells us there’s plenty of room to build our reach.
- Clean-up and prep took longer than expected. We’ll streamline setup to give ourselves more breathing room next round.
💡 The Takeaway:
Every event is a chance to learn and elevate. Thank you to those who showed up, danced, played, and supported our mission to make McKinney more creative, connected, and expressive.
More art. More music. More good times ahead.

On May 17th, Kelly’s Art Shack turned into a game-lover’s paradise as we hosted our very first Trivia + Bingo Night — and wow, what a night it was! From clever trivia teams to fast-paced bingo rounds, the Shack was full of laughter, wit, and good vibes. Here’s a peek at what made the event a hit — and a few things we’re already working on to make the next one even better. ✅ What Went Great The Host & Vibes Let’s start with the star of the show — Tanner , our hilarious MC. His quick wit, perfect pacing, and crowd banter kept everyone entertained and engaged all night long. The Space The Shack was set up beautifully, with indoor seating that felt cozy but energetic. Whether guests came to play hard or just soak in the fun, the space delivered. The Tech The software we used to run the games was on point — smooth, responsive, and easy for everyone to follow. Promotion & Turnout Our flyers and messaging worked! We had a solid crowd and a buzz going around town even before the event kicked off. 🚧 What We’re Improving Game Structure The open “come anytime” format (4PM to 12AM) was flexible but also a bit too loose. For future events, we’re thinking of adding scheduled game blocks or time-limited rounds so guests know when to arrive and how long to expect to play. Bingo Speed A few folks mentioned the bingo rounds were a little too fast. We heard you! We’ll slow things down so everyone can stay in sync and enjoy the fun without rushing. Prize Planning While we had fun prizes to give away, we’ll be more structured next time with a set prize list . That way players know what’s up for grabs and we keep the energy high. 🚀 What’s Next We’re already planning round two — with even better pacing, clear time slots, and some exciting new twists. Expect a standardized prize lineup , slower bingo calling , and the same awesome energy from Tanner and the Shack crew. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special. If you missed it — don’t worry, we’ll see you at the next one. 🎤🎱✨ Stay tuned right here or follow us on socials for the next Trivia + Bingo Night announcement!
