*The optimum age group for mr. RAY's show is ideally, ages 2-8, Pre-K to 2nd Grade.
mr. RAY performs at parties for up to 50 minutes.
mr. RAY SINGS...
As most of you know, mr. RAY entertains the kids with most of his original positive songs about friendly aliens, dinosaurs,
zebras, boo-boos, imagination, and all that groovy fun stuff...His upbeat, Rock/Pop songs are designed to show kids that we
should respect each other and all living things. (ok, some are just for fun, like, "Boo-Boos Go Away!")
If you've seen him, or visited his website, you'll see that he's got a real eye-candy, multi-stickered guitar
that really grabs the kids' attention...as he performs his repertoire of original tunes, including some traditional kids' songs,
he always encourages everyone to sing along with him.
OPEN MIC TIME!
Every child is asked to come up to the microphone and sing a solo, (always an unpredictable, precious moment!)
Hearing your kids sing everything from "Twinkle, Twinkle," "God Bless America," to "Born To Run " brings out so
many emotions in the crowd, and of course, yours, as the parent of the birthday child.
You'd be surprised at how the "star" comes out in even the shyest of kids.
Please note that only the birthday parents are allowed to video-record mr. RAY's performance at the party.
Ask your guests to refrain from video-recording, unless their child is performing a solo with mr. RAY. Thanks!
LET'S DANCE!
There's a dance point in the show when he gets t he kids up and they do some rockin' upbeat tunes like his
basketball song, "SWISH!", the Hokey Pokey, Head Shoulders Knees n' Toes, etc.
GUESS THE INSTRUMENT GAME!
Short examples of musicians playing various instruments are played
to see how well the kids do identifying them, as well as the different genres of music they are listening to.
FOUR IMPORTANT POINTS
A DESIGNATED AREA
A friendly request, if possible: Please have a designated area away from toys, tv's, swimming pools, swings, etc.
Perhaps the kids can either sit on chairs, or the floor/ground in front of mr. RAY.
It's difficult to compete with any of those tempting things! =-) We can't emphasize this enough.
OPTIMUM AGE GROUP
*As mentioned above, if there is a majority of kids from 8, 9 and beyond at your party,
chances are they are already into Dance Pop/Hip Hop/Top 40, and they won't be entertained by
mr. RAY's songs about Rainbows, Dinosaurs & friendly Aliens!!!
SIZE OF YOUR PARTY
There is no limit to the amount of kids at your child's party.
mr. RAY has performed at VERY private parties from 3 to 100...it's your call.
Not a lot of space is needed to perform, but a decent-sized area in front of him for the kids to dance to is always helpful.

WHAT THE PARTY CRITICS ARE SAYING.............
Please tell Mr. Ray he was fantastic, had wonderful energy full of love... I like how he even got the shyest kids to
participate and all of the children were so happy enjoying him...so did the parents!
Mr. Ray shared wonderful lessons with the kids,
it was awesome. I think he changed the direction of my son Aarons life too! He was so big in my son’s eyes!
What a nice guy...So a big Thank you to Mr. Ray!
=======================
Thank you for playing Sophie's 4th birthday party. Not only did you make her day, but you deserve serious kudos for crowd control.
26 kids, 5 and under, a confined space, and non stop rain, and it was a total success, so thank you!
=======================
The party was phenomenal! mr. RAY was awesome! The kids and the adults had so much fun. It really was a terrific party.
I can't thank you enough for making Ethan's dreams come true. Although, he was very quiet at the party...he pretends to be
mr. RAY all day long, everyday. He would sleep with his stickered guitar if he could! We have daily
mr. RAY concerts starring Ethan and his brothers Shane and Aidan at home.
Mr. RAY Rocks and I feel so fortunate te that he came to my house and did the party.
Thanks again for everything and please send a big thank you again to Ray!
=======================
Thank you so much for coming to my house and playing your really cool songs for my birthday party.
My friends and I love your songs!
We had a really great time singing along and helping you play your guitar. We have your CD and listen to it all of the time...
P.S. My Mom and Dad a lso have fun singing along to all of your songs.
=======================
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for helping to make Justin's 2nd birthday party such a memorable day.
Even more special than seeing and hearing all of the children sing and dance with you
was having the opportunity to see our 3 ½ year old daughter Nicole answer, as if on cue,
your creative questions and prompts as you described your guitar, songs and other instruments.
It made us rea lize how much of an impact your visits to per form at her class at
Kiddie Academy have had on her. Your music and rapport with the kids made us forget that we
had never personally met you before that day, but now feel as though an old friend had come to the party with his wild guitar.
=======================
Than k you again for the wonderful performance at Julia's party. Several parents have called to tell me
that their kids are playing your CD over and over and over again.
One of the parents commented it was the best children's event he had ever attended.
You really made our day special! Julia says that everyone really loved the "Swish" song.
She told me to tell you that she really loved you coming to her party.
(She whispered in my ear during your performance - "I love you, Mommy. This is the best surprise ever!”)
Best wishes for continued success. I'm sure we'll see you at a show in the near future.
