Hello everyone, for todays post, I am live blogging from Brady Gell's presentation. His blog is called Brass Music in the Public Eye. His presentation is about different composers and musicians of different brass instruments who write and perform music to be shared in a public setting, or better put, because all music is meant to be shared, these musicians go out of their way to make music accessible to everyone, whether it be from free concerts, or social media!
Brady shared a playlist with multiple songs, but one that I wanted to highlight was Christopher Bill's video. Christopher Bill is a famous Youtube Trombone Player, He publishes videos of him playing the trombone, and playing pop music and different fun arrangements. In this video Christopher Bill recorded 60 trombone players playing an arrangement of his called I will survive by Gloria Gaynor. Christopher Bill is great at advocating for brass players, and using social media to promote his love of music and the trombone.
For today's game, going hand in hand with social media, I picked a game that is based on social media. The game is called What do you Meme. It is a game where one player picks an image, and then other players pick a caption, the judge then tries to match the best caption with the image, whoever matches the funniest meme wins.
Memes are a great way to spread content over social media. Whereas most memes are funny, some can be informative, and when it comes to promoting brass music, using memes as a platform to reach all ages and all cultures can be super beneficial. So I hope you enjoy todays music and play What do you meme!
I think that “What do You Meme?” Is a great game to go with the Christopher Bill video. I’m glad that my inclusion of his video stood out to you because I think he embodies a lot of the concepts that I’m trying to talk about in my own blog. Not everyone needs to play in an orchestra to be successful and I think making a career out of these videos is really cool
