iBand Rocks Christmas Tunes on iPads and iPhones
By Ok, here’s a video sure to go viral. We’ve seen lots of people using their iPads and iPhones to create some incredible music but this is the largest all iOS band we can remember seeing and it’s certainly the first we’ve seen performing Christmas classics.
The members of the North Point iBand had their opener this past Sunday and performed Carol of the Bells, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and Feliz Navidad. The iBand uses iPhones and iPads to perform all of their music and they use a wide variety of apps to get all the virtual instruments they use in their performance.
We did a little digging and were able to get a list of all the iOS apps used in the three different performances. North Point iBand member Reid Greven was nice enough to list on his blog the iBand performers and iOS apps used for each performance.
