If anyone ever tells you that the state of Virginia is just for lovers, they're pulling your leg! Or maybe they haven't met the coolest, most musical kids in the universe who live there. Virginia, also known as Old Dominion, is a wacky, wonderful land of mountain ranges, sandy beaches, and historical landmarks that go 'way back' to before your great-great-great-great-grandparents were born! In this state of musical magic, you'll find the Music Marvels. They are a group of kids just like you who've found a way to bring a melody to the mountains. There's Jimmy Jazzhands, the master of piano, whose fingers skip on the keys as fast as a cricket on a hot sidewalk. And Sally Songbird, who can hit notes higher than the tip-top of Mount Rogers! Don't forget Benny "Bass" Boombox, who's so good at playing the bass guitar that even the fish in Chesapeake Bay groove to his tunes. And then there's Dotty Drummergirl, who sets the rhythm for the whole band. Her beats are so strong; they can shake the apples right off the trees in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley! The Music Marvels prove that Virginia isn't just for lovers, but for the toe-tapping, head-bobbing, dance-til-you-drop music lovers. They make everything from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the bustling streets of Richmond come alive with the sound of music. So next time you're in Virginia, keep your ears open. You just might hear the Music Marvels, making the Old Dominion dance to their tunes!
