Production
On 1992, Scott Kraft and Nadine Velde first created The Bird-Seedles (which would be later The Fresh Beat Band). The members of the band were Chip (later became Twist) the green bird on the guitar, Squeak-Squeak (later became Marina) the magenta bird on the drums, and PluckBird (later became Shout) the purple bird on the keys.

On late 1992, the bird characters where renamed and recolored and the band name was changed to "The JumpArounders".

On 1996, the characters were changed from birds to humans to avoid comitition with The Raggs Kids Club Band.

On 1997, Frederator Studios was opened, so Kraft and Velde requested the fictional band to become a series of shorts and then a full-fedged series.

On November 5, 1998, the first JumpArounders short was seen on an episode of Oh Yeah Cartoons, titled simply "The JumpArounders". This is about Twist, Marina, and Shout trying to make a new song, but Reed gets the chicken pox.
