On June 21, more than 200 Yamaha employees performed “Twist and Shout” at Yamaha headquarters in Buena Park, California, in honor of International Make Music Day.
As the employees formed Yamaha’s tuning fork logo, a drone captured the performance from above.
“Music and Sound is what we do here at Yamaha, so what is more fitting than celebrating with all of you, and making our own music,” said Tracy Bargielski, Yamaha vice president of human resources. “Creating music takes dedication, perseverance and passion. Today, we get a chance to share our passion for what we do because at Yamaha, every day is Make Music Day.”
“Yamaha is highly involved in music education and the legislation to support such efforts,” said Elizabeth Swift, mayor of Buena Park. “As a former educator and school board member, I believe that all students deserve a well-rounded education that includes music and the arts. I want to thank each one of you employees for displaying your talents today and celebrating the power that music possesses to bring joy to the world.”
