Mister Boom Boom was so great! We had kids of al ages and everyone had a good time. Even the adults were drumming and dancing. My daughter loves music and was dancing and clapping and singing the whole time 🙂 We would highly recommend Play Patrol!

I highly recommend Frank, Music Play Patrol! We have had him at both our kids birthday's and he really knows how to get the party going. We know he is going to be a regular at our kids birthdays in the years to come. His beats appeal to kids across ages and to adults - so that really makes for a fun time. At both the parties all the kids had a blast as soon as Frank started, they were 100 percent engaged and they talked about it for days and weeks to come! He is easy to work with - he shows up on time, no fuss, no mess... If you're thinking of having entertainment at your kids party - Frank is your guy!
