The Fresh Beat Band (formerly called The JumpArounds) is a musical children's TV series created by Scott Kraft and Nadine van der Velde that aired on Nick Jr. from August 24, 2009 to December 7, 2013note It also aired on Nickelodeon from 2009 to 2012. It focuses on the namesake band, consisting of four best friends named Kiki (guitar, violin, vocals), Shout (keyboards, vocals), Marina (drums, vocals) and Twist (turntables, beatbox, vocals) who go to music school together, love to sing and dance, and are determined to follow their dreams.Episodes of the show generally follow the same structure. The band performs a song that foreshadows a problem they will have to solve that episode, work together to solve the problem once it arises, succeed in solving it, perform a song with the problem and solution incorporated into the lyrics, and finish the episode with a version of their closing song "Great Day".An Animated Adaptation, Fresh Beat Band of Spies, aired from June 15, 2015 to February 24, 2016. All four band members lent their voices to their respective characters in the new series.

Bad Vibrations

comment
At one point in "Veloci-Rap Star", Bad Vibrations are used in almost the exact same way as the famous "shaking glass" from Jurassic Park. (It even uses a shaking glass, although held in someone's hand.)

Meaningful Name
 The Fresh Beat Band / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: A reed is a very important musical accessory. It is used to help certain woodwind instruments create the vibration that is necessary for sound. The name "Melody" is meaningful, too. It's a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying. For Ms. Piccolo, it comes from the instrument, a small flute sounding an octave higher than the ordinary one. Harper, the owner of the Singin' Pizza Cafe, gets his name from a harp.
