In the whimsical world of South Dakota, nestled cozily in the middle of America, where the bison roam freely and the Mount Rushmore noses are constantly tickled by passing clouds, a unique group of kids meets. They don't hunt for gold or run races with jackrabbits; instead, they create magic with melodies. They're the Songwriting Kids of SD, tuned into the harmony of their hearts, strumming the strings of their imagination. In this sunny state of sunflowers and dreamers, there's a friendly little chap named Rhythm Raccoon! Rhythm Raccoon, with his snazzy tail and twinkling eyes, dances to the beat of his own drum and inspires the kids to do the same. His ears twitch to the tunes of the wind whispering through the Black Hills, his paws tap to the rhythm of the rushing Missouri River, and his heart hums the melody of the wide-open Prairie skies. The Songwriting Kids adore Rhythm Raccoon; he's as cool as the snow on Bear Butte in winter and as funny as a frolicking prairie dog. His quick wit and love for music inspire them. He tells them, "Every note is like a wild bison - you can't force it to go where it does not want to." The Songwriting Kids never forget that, and so, they create songs as free as the South Dakota wind, as layered as the Badlands, and as sparkling as the water of Sylvan Lake. Just like the great faces of Mount Rushmore, these youngsters carve out their own legacy in the heart of South Dakota, one song at a time. They are the splendid symphony of South Dakota, filling the air with laughter, music, and endless imagination, under the watchful eyes of their beloved mentor, Rhythm Raccoon!
