Hey All,
This post is NOT supposed to interrupt you all working on the post prior to it (Against All Odds: Site Challenge #1!...KEEP working on it please! We do have sites nearing the goal of all members having made a comment...so keep at it!).
However, Brenda P has asked that we come up with a truly catchy name for the Summer Mega Event...something besides Summer Mega Event...that we can use for PR purposes...so we can make fliers, posters, t-shirts, etc...things to both promote the event as well as be souvenirs of the event; for us AND the audience.
We want this event to truly succeed on every level although it is the first time we have Taken A Chance to do it...and the PR part of it is going to be VERY important...from the name of the event right down to the smallest of details...so everyone start thinking and commenting to each other about this...right here, and right now! We need to have the entire PR packet (name of event, slick looking flier, some video clips and newspaper articles about Mt. Rushmore this year, and even some of your thoughts from the last blog post) all put together and ready for a meeting on MAY 5th! That will be here VERY soon...so we need you all to be very creative and very quickly.
SR Summer Blow-out
ReplyDeleteWOOTNESSSSSSSSS WEEEKEND!!!!!!(not really thought i would try and make yall laugh a lil)

Drummers United
St. Lois's SR event
Drummers Gone Wild
SR Gone Wild
SR Extravaganza!!!!!( I dont know if i spelt it right but i tried)
Here is a few....
Just a few thoughts-
ReplyDeleteSR "Do Good" Event
SR "Be a Friend" Weekend
or something involving Steps of Success
Play It Loud Megaweekend
Bang the Drums Show
This sounds amazing!But I'm not really good at coming up with this stuff.. but I do agree with Brenda Summer Mega Event isn't really catchy, I like Amanda's- Summer Blowout :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so bad at names... I second the "Play It Loud Megaweekend"! suggestion!
ReplyDeletecornfield drumfest
ReplyDeleteHaha, Steve wrote URGENT and Amanda was all over his request like bees to honey.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like the Play It Loud Megaweekend too!
If we're going for something catchy, though, I think alliteration and rhyming works best. One year at MTR, one site was selling shirts that had Loud and Proud on the back. We could recycle that clever bit of rhyming.
Just a few things came to me since it is in the St. Louis area:
ReplyDeleteDrums Along the River
Rock the River
Mississippi Thunder
Riverdrums
Drums in the Heartland
Midwest Riverfest
Of course if I came (which I plan to do) it could be "Friend and Neighbors" (O.K. Maybe not ).
Any of these catch anyone's fancy?
I kinda like Rock the River myself :)
ReplyDeleteThe Drummer Experience
ReplyDeleteLive Life Loud
Make a Difference Power Hour
Take a Chance event
Drum Loud and Proud (Based on Jovanna's example)
Real Drums, Real Differences
Drum for a Difference
Summer Drummer Bash
Summer Drumming Bash(little like the last one)
More to come....maybe
Hope everyone is doing good! Have fun!
Keep the ideas coming! I am sure that we could keep coming up with thousands of ideas and the best way could be to combine some of our ideas and put them together! We can do it!
hmm...maybe after we all comment and talk about the names, we could put the ones we all like best in a poll?
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the Midwest Riverfest one, and the Play it Loud Megaweekend too, though they all sound good!
the only thing I can think of is..... Drum Your Head off Summer Event... I had Rock your sucks off soo yeah...
ReplyDeleteI like the Make a Difference Power Hour. I think it sounds awesome! I keep on saying it! LoL it flows! ^_^
I really like Rock the River... so it's too bad that that one's already taken. :( Last November, I think, there was a Rock the River gathering for Christian Youth. I wish I'd been able to go. So I would suggest that we stay away from it... else we be accused of stealing the name.
ReplyDeleteBut I like Alex's 'Make a Difference Power Hour' and 'Drum for a Difference' or 'Drumming for a Difference'.
PoL: Practice of a Liftime
ReplyDelete*Lifetime
ReplyDeletewho woulda thought *I* would misspell something.
i think that Live Life Proud is cool...but i really like the Make A Difference Power Hour :) good job Alex! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the "Summer Drummer Bash" from Alex haha.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's having really good one's though!
I second Jovanna...Rock the River is already taken (and well known)...and I so wanted to go too!!! but I got pictures and videos from my friends who went! :)I found out the night before that I couldn't go anymore I was sad!
ReplyDeletebut back on topic I like Make a Difference Power Hour the best.
Its more then just a weekend so maybe we can do Make a Difference Power Weekend.
ReplyDeleteIDK it sounds kinda.... Blah....but idk
Amanda- i do agree that it is a weekend but its okay we will figure something out...all of us, together :)
ReplyDeleteMake a difference Power Hours, then?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that I suggested "Rock the River" as i did not know it had already been used. However I agree with David Ruth that the top five that are chosen should be brought to a vote or poll. By the way David, thanks for liking Midwest Riverfest,
ReplyDeleteHow about:
ReplyDeleteSR 3M Weekend - Mission Music & Message
SR Mega Mission Blitz
Live Life Loud & Proud
SR Stand UP Event
SR Midwest Connection 2010
Mega Mission Mega Music Mega Difference
I liked a lot of the others as well. Mine are kinda of corny. Brain is falling asleep. :)
I don't know if this helps or not, but St Louis is known as the Gateway City (because of the Arch)
ReplyDeletethe Gateway to success weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI like that Tonia! Gateway to success weekend!! hmm.. I can see it now!.. Lights flashing and a big sign that say that!! :D LoL just saying. ;) anyways I like it. ^_^
ReplyDeletetonia i like your suggestion it should be gateway to success megaweekend '10
ReplyDeleteI dont just like the Gateway to Success. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTonia- thats good!! i like it!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteokay i just put up a picture and i wanted to see if it worked
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
ReplyDeleteTonia- your welcome :) so hows the eye? haha :)
ReplyDeleteDrummin' In The STL!
ReplyDeletemy eye is 100% better! :)
ReplyDeleteI love "Gateway to Success"!!
ReplyDeleteGo gateway
ReplyDeleteTo success
I think that gateway to success is a really good name. It is a good attention getter, and it describes our overall mission very well
ReplyDeleteI have to agree.
ReplyDeleteTonia has came up with a great name
The "Gateway to Success" Weekend ... I can see it now.
Now lets get the drummers there to prove what our mission is.
Tonia- Glad to hear your eye is better. And I love "Gateway to Success"!
ReplyDeleteTonia- glad to hear that your eye is better and i like the Gateway To Success! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a question...do we want a name that can be used for just this event or a name of an annual event that could take place anyway? I like the gateway but it is very specific, if that's what we want. I like the Summa' Drumma'Bash or Live Life Loud for a more general name. There are LOTS of great ideas! Good thinking everyone! I think we should come up with a general name that we could use every year and then have a "slogan" for the more specific place. Ie: 2010 Summer Drummer Bash-Gateway to Sucess St. Louis, with a graphic specific to the location!
ReplyDeleteJenn- i like the idea of the Summa' Drumma' Bash. its cool and i also agree with it having to be a more general topis if its not in St. Louis every year :)
ReplyDeleteSome I like that other came up with are:
ReplyDeleteDrumming for a Difference
Live Life Loud Weekend
Play it Loud Mega Weekend
Here's a couple that I thought of:
Music on a Mission
Step It Up Weekend
Living Out Loud
Mega Music and Memories
We can use any title as our main theme and then have a subtitle for where it moves around to each year. (Example: Music on a Mission 2010: Gateway to Success) Just an idea.
Another great idea.
ReplyDeleteHowever I like your "Drumming for a Difference" as the main mission theme and then " 2010: Gateway to Success" as the subtitle because of ST. Louis.
When you stop to really give thought to this, we do drum to make a difference in our world.
cant use rock the river already been done
