The Jumpitz Perform Online

Tuesday June 16, 2009
How about a FREE concert for the kids? The Jumpitz, a diverse group of musical performers who provide educational media content and live performances for kids, have announced a virtual concert series airing Friday, Saturday and Sunday June 19th-21st at secretbuilders.com. The Jumpitz virtual concerts will go live at 8:00am, 3:00pm and 11:59pm PST. Live action will meet virtual reality as Jumpitz Emily, Jake, Josh, and Mari “Jump In and Discover the World” of SecretBuilders, and kids can even chat with the cast after the show.

True, watching a concert online is not the same as being there, but the medium does provide a level of interactivity that is not available watching TV. It will be interesting to see how kids react to the live virtual experience. Given that many preschoolers already enjoy the online arena, I think that The Jumpitz' new endeavor has the potential to be very exciting for kids, and the great thing is, it will also be uplifting and educational.

The Jumpitz focus on educational content that helps kids learn about the world around them. The group recently released a DVD called Celebrate Animals, and they have live performances scheduled at Legoland and other locations. To find out more about the DVDs, tours, and online concerts, visit The Jumpitz interactive, kid safe website.
