A Paws for History Started by an Early Childhood Teacher and a group of talented dads in 1985, the Teddy Bear Band talks to kids without talking down to them. The shows are developmentally appropriate, and may be adjusted for various "ages and stages," with a strong emphasis on PARTICIPATION! Whether they're Playin' Guitar, Walking Like a Penguin, or tossing their Bears in the Air, kids are fully engaged from beginning to end--and so are any adults within earshot! Shows are typically short--about 45 minutes--and feature REAL musicians playing REAL instruments...for a REAL good time! 1 - 2 - 3 - SHOW! If you're in charge of booking entertainment for your library, school, summer program or other childrens' event, your job just got a lot easier. Just visit the band's official website: www.teddybearband.com (it'll open in a separate window). There you'll find lots more information, including an online press kit and TBB products you can buy--and sell! (It's a great option for funding your event.) As with all of our entertainers at Richard Alan Productions, the Teddy Bear Band gives you tremendous flexibility, from the size of the band to the theme of the show. And did we mention Panda? She's got a bear-sized hug for everybody, and usually steals the show as well! Are You Ready, Teddy? From traditional favorites to instantly lovable original tunes, the award-winning Teddy Bear Band puts on a honey of a show! Watch a promotional video here, read some testimonials, or contact us today for immediate help in planning YOUR event. Simply put, the Teddy Bear Band is now entertaining the children of their first audiences, and they'd love to become a tradition with your children, too! By the way... The Minnesota Music Hall of Fame is considering inducting the Teddy Bear Band! We're thrilled with the chance at receiving this new honor, and if you'd like to support the effort, please drop us an email. The Minnesota Music Hall of Fame is located in historic New Ulm, Minnesota.
