Reallyshooo Kids Review Brings Joy to Cypress Festival Stage

The Corral Stage at the Cypress Community Festival will feature the Reallyshooo KidsReview. Music teachers Billy and Ellen Makuta believe music is the universal language of the world. Together they bring an education of the joy of music called the Reallyshooo KidsReview to children of all ages.

Using many different percussion instruments, such as drums, sticks, maracas, triangles, a gong, an accordion, and a real Louisiana frottoir (a washboard or rub-board), the Reallyshooo KidsReview will invite children to participate in a cute sing-along called the Flea-Fly-Flo song.

The Makita’s have performed at various Boys and Girls Clubs and they have appeared at the John Robert Powers Arts Academy. They have also entertained at the St. Jude's Children’s Hospital in Memphis and, just recently, they brought their Review to the Long Beach Bayou Festival.

Part of their interactive performance will include a Mardi Gras style parade. Children, and sometimes adults, will march into action while playing with a percussion instrument to the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In”.

Plan to catch the Reallyshooo Kids Review starting at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday July 28 at Oak Knoll Park, 5700 Orange Avenue, Cypress. More details on the Reallyshooo Kids Review can be found on Myspace and questions can be directed to Reallyshooomusic@aol.com or by calling (760) 329-1763.

Before and after the Review, Festival goers will have a chance to enjoy the Kids Fun Zone, vintage car show and chili/salsa contest along with all the other family-friendly fun. For complete Cypress Community Festival information you may visit: http://www.cypressfestival.com/
