From March 1 - April 16 2010, thousands of young people took action against music education cuts by joining DoSomething.org and the VH1 Save the Music Foundation's Battle of the Bands. Videos feature great music and a testimonial on why music education matters. Videos are being presented to senators and members of congress to stress the importance of music in a complete education.
