The Bazillions Musical Performance
The Bazillions bring their music to the kindie rock stage with a well-honed live sound with a full multimedia experience. Buckets of crayons and song-themed coloring sheets accompany the performances for young artists. After the show, children have the opportunity to have their drawings photographed for posting on The Bazillions' web site.

The Bazillioons perform songs that help promote literacy. Songs that are part of the setlist focus on letter sounds like "Silent e" and "Q and U" to songs about reading "Favorite Book", are all designed to teach kids about the alphabet and reading. Each song is designed to highlight different ways for audiences to interact, with either call and response or body movements or playing with egg shakers, scarves or ribbon wands.
The music program was very interactive inviting the audience to sing along and dance. They had songs about libraries and reading. One song was about careers. Adam asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grew up and added extra verses to the song with the children's answers. Our theme is Universe of Stories and Adam asked the audience about space and what you would need if you were in space and sang a song about rockets blasting into space. The Bazillions music was a great balance of fun and education with lots of audience participation. Several adults who were just in the library, not for the program, stopped to listen. Many adults said they loved the Bazillions cover of I'm a Believer. Suitable for all ages.
