| | I am looking for suggestions on camoflaging our Baby Grand Piano. There is no way we can take it off the stage, and my co-director suggested making it into a big beakers, but I am not exactly sure how to go about doing that. Kind of hard to imagine a science lab with a piano in the middle of it. |

| I am putting those silver space blanket things over ours. They were in the Group Outlet, but also right now Target has camping ones that are similar in their dollar bins.

| | Cover it with the blankets or whatever. Lean giant beakers against it, or use it to set things on. However - I would not set any liquids on it. Can you put wood or metal shelves in front of it, and attach paper or fabric to the back of the shelves? We covered ours for AR with cream colored sheets. Then we put big styrofoam rocks around it and hung our clothesline so it stretched across. In the past we have constructed an Eifel Tower over it, and one year we made a grass hut around it using PVC pipe and grass skirts. |

| | We have covered both the grand piano and the organ many, many times using black flat twin sized sheets which we had purchased from Walmart cheaply. We have used those sheets for many, many things over the last 2 years. The black works really well because it doesn't attrack attention to anything. This year I am thinging of arranging the silver, cardboard, foil stuff which I purchased from Group thinking it was the the big sheets (oops), placing a Giga Ball (54" inflatable ball which kids climb in and get rolled around in) which we used for something we did with the kids during the year, placing lights flashing Christmas lights on the inside of it to "light" it up. Our Children's Pastor bought cement forms, not very expensive I think, which we used for masts for the Children's musical, so we are going to take those apart (3 sections each) and take the ideas posted here of making batteries. Those we will probably put in front of the organ. |

| a sheet over it and put foam beakers or a fake piece of technology, or even just put some goggles, lab coats, rubber gloves, any scientific apparel on it to give it the apperance of another table in the lab.

| | Cover it with foil or silver space blankets, add some battery powered lights (the 4'' ones you push to turn on), a tv antenna and call it a UFO. One of those mesh, dome shaped food covers, used at picnics with a light under it could be the UFO dome. |

| | The Giga Ball is unfortunately expensive and came out of my own personal expenses. Hearthsong has one that is blue & green for around $75 and Target has it sometimes (availability seems limited) in yellor or red for around $55. We have used it quite a bit, however, we are really careful with it. |
