Get On The Bandwagon

Today’s Cincinnati Enquirer article by Chuck Martin ribs a new marketing venture by the Cincinnati Symphony to attract a younger demographic which includes offering temporary tattoos that say “Get Your Beethoven On”. In response, he put together his own list of ideas to help improve CSO attendance. After reading his article my wife, the ever creative musician decided to offer some other suggestions for tattoo text…

Following the CSO’s composer oriented lead she came up with the following suggestions:

1. “Get Your Offenbach On”
   
2. “Get Your Orff On”
   
3. “Get Your Cage On” (a cross marketing suggestion for those who are also interested in BDSM)
   
4. “Get Your Foote On” (another targeted offering)
   

Then there’s the guest artist oriented tattoos:

1. “Get Your Ahn On” (say that five times fast)
   
2. “Get Your Ma On” (God help you if you end up with a dyslexic tattoo artist)
   
3. “Get Your Ax On” (another targeted offering)
   

The CSO could reach out to opera buffs with the following offerings:

1. “Get Your Manon On” (try saying that five times fast as well)
   
2. “Get Your Faust On”
   

Finally, there’s a few conductor oriented offerings worth considering:

1. “Get Your Runnicles On”
   
2. “Get Your Wigglesworth On”
   
3. “Get Your Wang On” (ok, that’s a good enough place to stop)
   

I’m sure some of you readers out there must to have some additional suggestions. Please take the time to submit them as a comment below.
