Led by Jeffrey Friedberg, certified music therapist, on banjo, The Bossy Frog Band creates a safe environment for children to let loose and discover the world around them. Songs are composed specifically to facilitate growth socially, personally, cognitively, and physically. Children will dance, sing and immerse themselves in the Bossy Frog experience. The witty and catchy tunes fully engage children while providing them opportunities to grow and develop.   Five teens from Sarasota, Florida, are making music from garbage. The Garbage-Men band <http://thegarbagemen.com/index.html> 's instruments are made from recycled objects. The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry�who was in eighth grade at the time�decided to make a playable, homemade guitar. After some trial-and-error, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade instruments as a way to promote recycling. "We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin," Jack, 16, told TFK. "You can actually reuse materials."   *Tickets*   Buy tickets now to check out these great live acts and other activites. Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for children under 12.
