The Kazoo- Saturday, April 23 @ 12:00 p.m. & 4:30 p.m.
Rick Hubbard and The Kazoo can be described with one word—“kazoobie.” “Kazoobie” means the performance is “exceptional, fun, and involving everyone.” Rick plays the banjo, steel drum and other instruments while kids dance and play inflatable guitars on stage. The Kazoo brings fun to the whole family and allows the audience to share in the grand finale by playing their very own kazoo, which is provided at the show. Don’t miss your chance to perform with this exceptionally fun act!
