The sounds of the season were ringing through the radio stations at iHeart Media as children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver provided accompaniment.
"My favorite part of the tour was when we were where the band practices and we got to play the drums," said Yulissa, a 10-year-old club member.
The place where the band practices was Studio C, and they play live on the radio. The club members even got a real life radio experience.
"They would show us what they do, and they would record us and we'd practice saying things," Yulissa explained.
The children got to record some Christmas well-wishes. They met DJs Colfax and Keefer and got to ask some important questions.
"What if you didn't have inverting ready?" one club member asked.
"That is called dead air, and that's is embarrassing," Keefer replied.
"It was really cool, like a really cool experience for me," said Jessamyn, 10, a club member.
