Louisiana kids music — for all ages!
Katy Hobgood Ray & the Confetti Park Players are a special musical team. Katy leads a fun mashup of a kids choir and fabulous, well-established adult New Orleans musicians. They perform catchy originals and familiar folk songs, jump rope jingles and clapping chants, and a few rock ‘n roll surprises. We make Louisiana kids music for everyone.
In a new episode of Confetti Park Storytime, we are sprinting through the streets of New Orleans alongside a very fast, very sugary character in “The Runaway Beignet,” written by the wonderful Connie Collins Morgan. The author narrates for us!
Believe you me!
I’m gonna get away!
You’re not gonna taste this little beignet!
Ayeeeeeeeeeeee!
Confetti Park is supported by the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation and Music Rising at Tulane University.
