The past few years have been a time for redefining what we do and what is important.
I usually perform over 80 concerts for kids each summer. In 2020 I only performed ten concerts, all of which were in August with my completely portable battery powered sound system I can set up anywhere. The concerts went perfect with outdoor safe distance guidelines.
It has been easy for me to adapt my Tadpole Parade mission for this time because it is still the same mission I wrote in 1996. (I have included an outline of my original mission below.)
When people ask me “What do you do?” I can respond genuinely my life’s work is,
I’m a Greatness Amplifier, Engagement Specialist, Experience Generator. One thing I like about this definition is how perfect it is for what I do performing music with kids, while at the same time it is not limited to any specific skills or career. Kids and Music have always been a primary focus of Tadpole Parade for over 30 years.
I am able to adapt to continued diverse conditions. I have a vast catalogue of skills, knowledge and experience. We can certainly talk about ways we can collaborate to customize what would contribute best to your mission. Here are a few ideas.
• Live Concerts for Kids and Families are available, in person, indoors.
• Outdoor concerts are an exceptional proven option. With my completely portable battery powered sound system I can set up almost anywhere!
• I am also fully set up to perform live interactive online concerts.
• All of the Will Hale and the Tadpole Parade music recordings are available online. I can share related activities on a variety of themes.
Give me a call and we can explore the possibilities.

Will Hale Tadpole Parade Vision 1996 -Present
People often ask me how I connect with kids so easily. I have a clear vision originally refined in 1996. This mission continues to be the natural expression of who I am. These principles are the foundation woven into everything I do.
I work primarily with kids age 2-10 years old.
