I love Christmastime!  But come on... who doesn't, really?  Everyone is happy. Bright lights. Good food.  Lots of parties.  And at True Texas Project, we're adding good music to the list too!

I'm telling ya, our Christmas party is the most fun you'll have all season.  You've seen the fun pictures, but until you've experienced it yourself, you just don't know what you're missing!

We don our gay apparel to sing, laugh, dance, clap, eat, drink, and make merry!  Not your style?  It's perfectly great to just watch too!  All I can say is that in our 4 or 5 years of hosting the dueling pianos Christmas party, nobody has ever told me they wish they hadn't attended.

And don't forget... this party is for our True Texas Scholarship!  Nearly 3 dozen students submitted essays this year!!!  Wow!  (Usually we have about 10).  So we are hard at work picking 4 winners, and we'll announce them at the party.  Many of the entrants will be in attendance.  It would be great if you could be there to encourage these young patriots!  Here's a pic of last year's students at the party:

We are halfway sold out of tickets as of right now.  I know that makes it seem like you have plenty of time, but honestly, this is when everyone starts making those reservations.  We sell out every year!  Get your ticket NOW!

 

See ya there!  I think I may wear my Mrs. Claus dress this year!

For the love of Texas (and Christmas!),

A True Texas Christmas 2025!

Thu Dec 11, 2025 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM CST
Grapevine Convention Center, 76051

It's a TRUE TEXAS CHRISTMAS!
Featuring Dueling Pianos with Tim Georgeff and Tom Basler

Our 5th annual True Texas Christmas: it gets bigger and more fun every year! 
You'll laugh, you'll sing... you may even dance!
 
Please join True Texas Project again this year for an evening of Christmas fun in Grapevine, benefiting our True Texas Project scholarships

We will once again delight you with the audience-inspired music of those dueling pianos, featuring world-renowned pianists Tim Georgeff and Tom Basler.  Of course, we'll also feast and share some Christmas fun with our favorite patriot friends.  Our dueling pianos program has been a favorite of TTP patriots since 2021.  It's become an annual event, and you don't want to miss it!

Tim Georgeff is a TTP hero and supporter. He is an artistic and creative director involved in live events, shows, and productions all around Texas. He also serves as Musical Director for a variety of artists and bands in the DFW area and abroad. You might catch one of his live performances at a bar, restaurant, or event center in your neighborhood.

Tom Basler has been playing piano professionally for over 35 years.  He has become one the best-known and longest-working “duelers” in the country.  With his vast repertoire and engaging persona, crowds of all types find themselves clapping and singing along.

The "Dueling Pianos" will spark your holiday spirit and keep you laughing through the 90-minute program of holiday music and witty banter. They love to take your song requests so don't be shy! Get up and dance if the mood strikes.  Sing along and most of all - HAVE FUN!  Which piano will be the winner? You decide!

Appetizers will be served, along with soft drinks and a cash-donation bar.

Don't miss this opportunity to hang out with fellow patriots, launch yourself into the Christmas season, and wish all your friends a very Merry Christmas, True Texan style!
