If I were you, I would check out the North Point iBand now before they start selling out arenas and appearing on late-night talk shows. The North Point Church band in Atlanta recently traded in its instruments for borrowed iPads and iPhones equipped with musical apps.
The North Point iBand used a variety of apps to simulate everything from pianos to cowbells with a little Auto-Tune thrown in for good measure. Check out the video above to see the iBand in action. The iPhone rendition of 'Feliz Navidad' brings the house down.
