Do It Up America was founded in 1997 and is located in North Merrick, NY. We sponsor many benefit shows per year. Our annual Do It Up America Show at Hofstra University is a video-taped & televised performance featuring our Do It Up America Band/Orchestra conducted by Peter Stanganelli and our Do It Up America Choir under the direction of Mr. Frank Abel. Many other professional & student groups perform including Peter & his group Rapture as well as public school students from local Long Island School Districts. All proceeds from our show are donated to the Interfaith Nutrition Network and their soup kitchens/homeless shelters.

Do It Up Performing Art Studio is a professionally staffed school of the arts also located in North Merrick dedicated to Drama & Dance Classes as well as Vocal & Instrumental Music Lessons. John Riolo, Vice President of Do It Up America, is the Director/Owner of this exciting school for the
