Love it! (Yes, I am a Parrothead!)
I did a show like this - I demo'd Aloha Pizza, the host made Cheeseburgers in Paradise, and we served Margaritas in the QSP. JB was playing in the background -
You could take some of the song titles and play a game or something as well...
Be sure to use the citrus press and press a lime into the QSP, use your FC knives for cutting the lime as well....

Here are a few files that I found (they're not mine) that might help, also the best QSP margarita recipe, everyone loves it and they are so easy! Be sure to have lots of all of the ingredients, at my last show we made 2 double batches (in the family size QSP, you can only fit a single batch in the 2 qt). When I did my Margaritaville shows (they weren't actual Jimmy Buffet shows) we made the fajitas in the DCB and the Slap your Mama Margaritas and the host made a southwestern layered salad in the Trifle Bowl and while the fajitas were cooking we did the Pass Around Salsa. Both times it was all a big hit! Good luck, these are a lot of fun! Hope the files help!

Slap Your Mama Margaritas
1 12 oz. can frozen limeade
2 cans 7-up or
8 oz tequila
1 bottle Corona beer (no substitutes)
Just dump everything into the QUICK STIR PITCHER and plunge. To make it even “slushier”, freeze the 7-up, beer and tequila ahead of time.
