Check out our projects our bands have online. We are using web 2.0 tools to perform for a large scale audience – ANYONE IN THE WORLD! We are also giving the students a chance to evaluate themselves online, track their progress and see who else listens to us. Visit us online at www.YouTube.com and search for sirsbands. You will find a video diary of the bands progress from two weeks before the concert, (in rehearsals), one week before the concert and finally the actual performance. You do not need an account to see these videos, but if you want to leave a comment you will need an account. Tell your friends, neighbors and everyone else!
