Looking for an Entertainment Act Like No Other?
The Kracker Jacks Drumline (not the be confused with the Cracker Jack original caramel coated popcorn and peanuts) is a drumming ensemble since 1983 built to perform and entertain.
Our ensemble is designed for anyone to enjoy, as we invite our audience to be equal participants in our performance. We keep it fast, fun, and fresh. Crowds tell us time and time again how amazed they are by what we’re able to do with a few people and some simple snare drums—whether we play something they’ve never heard before or play to their favorite songs in a new and exciting way.
Highlights include performances in the Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans, the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in Manhattan, and the Greater Chicago Area for the 4th of July.
Drum ROll, Please!
There is no other drumline offers the original, authentic, goofy experience through drumming like our iconic drum spoofs and jokes. It’s sure to get your community fired up for a good time!
And what better way to showcase your event than through investing in world-class entertainment for your community? We can’t think of a better way, honestly.
