It is awesome that you did performances to help others.  However, when you do something for a charitable organization, you cannot deduct anything for your time, skill, talent or expertise.   You can only deduct anything you spent for supplies or transportation----you cannot deduct anything for the "usual" amount you would have been paid.   And only donations to recognized organized charities can be deducted.
