UB the Band is an amazing, extremely popular interactive music show for kids and families, ages 2 - adult. It features several variations (options) of a full rock band style set-up, where the AUDIENCE, kids, their friends, mom and dad, grandma and grandpa get up to sing, play, fake it, and be the stars of the show itself. (This is NOT RockBand or Guitar Hero, but is a complete, REAL, LIVE, and Professional Band Set-up)
Basically, kids (people) select from a library of DJ and Karaoke style songs of their favorite music, from "Wheels on the Bus" on up to the most popular teen and rock music to get up, sing, try the drums, play or fake it on guitar. Stage provides a variety of organized instrumentations including panda, giraffe and small kids guitars and basses, to full size adult guitars, several size professional drum sets, stage monitors, lighting, wireless mics, etc.
This is a carefully managed and professionally run show. I do all my own shows and events for fairs and festivals. Typically sold by the day (involving 1-3 shows/day) with discounts for multiple days, etc. We provide everything but electric and shelter from the elements (required).
I do shows in roughly five or more states, travel extensively for fairs, youth groups. Typical events include Great Wolf, Kalahari Water Parks, Milwaukee's Summerfest, ski resorts, campgrounds, state and county fairs, local festivals, girl scout outings, family and church events, etc.
