Rally around ‘79 Family!
We
are inviting all of you who want to sing or play an instrument to be
part of our Class of ‘79 Virtual Reunion Reggae Band. Join with us in
putting together a ‘79 family rendition of Bob Marley’s Three Little
Birds, released on the Exodus album in 1977, and later re-released on
Legends.
Whether
you are an amateur, a professional or just looking to have fun, take a
few minutes to add your unique sound to a timely message that is also a
familiar blast from our past. It is really easy:
| • | Print the score and words |
| • | Listen
to the midi tracks and decide if you are going to play an instrument,
sing or just bop to the groove. Now choose one of the options below to
record yourself. Don’t worry, you get multiple takes! |
| • | Option
1: Play the midi file on a laptop or other device and record yourself
on your cell phone. Plug your headset to the laptop or use ear buds so
that the sound goes only to your ear. This way, what you record on the
video is just your voice or instrument playing along with the sound in
your headset. Make sure to start your cell video at the
beginning so it catches the clicks on the track—this is absolutely
critical! Keep your recording running after the click tracks. The
opening few clicks are necessary for us to be able to sync your
video/audio to all the other videos being sent in—creating our virtual
band! |
| • | Option
2: Another method is to download the Soundcloud and Mideo Apps. After
downloading the apps, start the song with Soundcloud, open up Mideo and
start the video. Souncloud links: |
| • | When you are satisfied with your recording, send the file to Mimi |
| • | We’d like to get all videos by May 20 so we can share for Reunions---let us if you have questions! |
By
the way, I brought my horn down from the attic and am practicing and
recording. It’s really fun and actually simple to record.
Video yourself or grab some a classmate or two—please join and be part of this Reunion event! Questions? Email Mimi.
