This week join us at Centennial Park in Des Plaines.

We've brought our (not so) musical talent and Play This Book by Jessica Young and Daniel Wiseman .

You can try out our chalk course and then play the musical instruments that are here in the park!

The DPPL band needs a hand! 

Can you join our marching band?

Start with a

LA, LA, LA

in your best singing voice as you lay a few notes on the piano,

TINK - TINK

Next, let’s shake like a maraca

CHICK-CHICK-CHICK

Now get those fingers ready to

STRUM YOUR AIR GUITAR

STRUM-

          STRUM-

                   STRUM-

Feel the beat in your feet and dance, dance, dance

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

RAT-A-TAT, RAT-A-TAT

Beat the drum

Put your hands out in front of you and

Crash! Smash them together like cymbals

Slide from side to side

BWAH-

           BWAH-

BWAH

And march, march, march to the end

Where you can take a bow and

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP

for yourself!

And check out some more musical books and CDs to keep the music playing.
