My Opinion

LOVE IT!!!!! My daughter is a Fresh Beat Band fanatic, so I have come to terms with the fact that my DVR is going to be full of episodes, I am going to have to memorize the songs, and I will be expected to sing along. When I heard that they were coming out with a Soundtrack I flipped out. Literally. You would have thought that it was for me. I called my husband at work!! I knew that this would be something that she would absolutely LOVE!!! And she does. She knows every word to every song on the CD. So do I LOL! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's child loves the Fresh Beat Band. My daughter can't get enough of it!
