Pulse Rated Radio has offered to Support ‘Be The Band’ and it’s not just for Christmas.
The ‘Be The Band’ project which hopes to raise £1million for charity through the creation of an online virtual student band and release of a single next year, is already celebrating Christmas early with news that Pulse Rated Radio the worlds leading internet & satellite radio broadcaster is going to support the project.
The project, which went live on the 19th of November, has already attracted 270 students from across the UK and beyond. With members of the website fulfilling a variety of roles from band members, music production, animators and graphic artists there is something for everyone.
Everything from the style of the music to the band members themselves will be selected through an online voting process that will involve all the registered users of the website. If you are struggling with the concept try and think of what ITV’s X factor would have been like if the Gorillaz had entered and the whole thing took place online.
Pulse Rated will be providing coverage for the project and regular updates through its internet and satellite radio station program. This will provide ‘Be The Band’ with exposure to over 8 million homes and will be a real shot in the arm for the project.
One of the driving forces behind the project Mike Harding from thestudentzone.com had this to say
“I’m really excited about Pulse Rated’s involvement with supporting the project as their style of broadcasting really fits in with the concept of ‘Be The Band’. The whole project is really based in cyber space and to have a digital/web broadcaster of this calibre supporting us is a real boost.”
The project founder Emma Reilly from studentcribs.com is encouraged by the involvement of Pulse Rated
“Having Pulse Rated on board is just fantastic for us. It really validates the project as a whole and will hopefully allow as many people as possible to hear about Be The Band. The more people we get involved the more unique this project will be.”
Pulse Global CEO, Richard LaBrum, said:
"Pulse Rated champions new, unsigned, and emerging music, which is why we’re pleased to support Be The Band.
It’s a unique and exciting project, and it’s raising money for Nordoff-Robbins – a charity who are doing some amazing work with music therapy.
Be The Band deserves to be huge, and we want to help it on its way by spreading the word on-air, as well as online at pulserated.com."
With the involvement and support of all those associated with the project including the website members it is hoped that ‘Be The Band’ can reach its goal of raising £1million for Nordoff-Robbins music therapy charity from the sale of the resulting single and also raise awareness for such a worthy cause.
If you’re a student and would like to help or be part of such an amazing project, please visit the website and register at www.betheband.co.uk as they are still looking for animators, artists, graphic designers, music producers, band members and song writers.

Teachers and sexual misconduct with their students?? what's up?!?!?!
By: PracticalThinker | 02-11-2007
Authorities searched Thursday Nov. 1 for a 13-year-old boy and a female middle school teacher believed to be on the run from central Nebraska after police began investigating whether the pair had an intimate relationship.Kelsey Peterson, 25, a sixth-grade math teacher and basketball coach at Lexington Middle School, was placed on administrative leave last week. A judge issued an arrest warrant Monday charging her with kidnapping, child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.Court documents showed authorities had recovered several e-mails and letters in which the two professed their affection for one another.In letters, the boy called Peterson his "Baby Gurl" and said their relationship was "just not about the sex but that it was pretty good," according to court documents. Court documents say Peterson's school-issued laptop contained letters to the student, including one from April saying she loved him, thought he loved her, was "100 percent faithful" to him and would always be faithful.This is not the first time a teacher has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a student. There was Debra Lafave who was sentenced to house arrest and probation in 2005 after pleading guilty to charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old student. There was Wendie Schweikert, 37, who pleaded guilty to having sex with an 11-year-old student and in March 2007 was sentenced to 10 years in prison. There was Aaron Brevik, an elementary teacher and principal from Michigan, who was convicted of criminal sexual conduct in 2005 and is serving 5 to 20 years after being accused of using a hidden camera to film students in the gym locker room. There was the notorious Mary Kay Letourneau, who served a seven-year sentence for having sex with student Vili Fualaau, when he was 12. (She left her husband and 4 children to be with Fualaau.) They had two children and wed in 2005. In 2005, Pamela Rogers received an eight-year sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old student. She later sent suggestive photos to the boy and got two years added. Pamela Smart received a life sentence for plotting to kill her husband after he was shot in 1990 by a 16-year-old student with whom she had a relationship. And after her relationship with a 16-year-old student resulted in a pregnancy in 2004, Rebecca Boicelli went on maternity leave during the police investigation and found a job at another school nearby.Now my question..is there an epidemic going on here? What makes these adults think it's ok to have sex with CHILDREN????Do you think if these people were given real prison time (like 20 years to life), this kind of insanity would stop?
