Ever heard of a Record-A-Thon? Me either but this looks really cool…..
On February 1, 2014, Young Musicians and youth with a passion for music will participate in the Inaugural Record-A-Thon to take place at six recording studios throughout the city of Philadelphia. The Boom Room, Sigma Sound and 4 others studios have donated a total of 30 recording hours to students of music during a twelve-hour recording session that will begin at 12 noon and run through Midnight on Feb 1st.
