Companies find many ways to motivate employees. Have you ever heard of inviting a marching band to perform at a quarterly employee business event?
Well, MRI Software in Solon, Ohio did just that. The Nordonia Marching Band answered the call and stepped it up to prepare for their first performance of the 2017 season in just over two weeks.
The employees at the MRI Software headquarters experienced a unique and energized onsite event during their work day, recognizing their hard work and accomplishments. The band performance was also broadcast to the real estate software company’s global locations in London, Hong Kong, Sydney, and beyond as part of the company’s quarterly “Spirit Week.” “We are thrilled that the Nordonia Marching Band was able to join us for Spirit Week,” said Patrick Ghilani, CEO of MRI Software. “The hard work, dedication and school spirit of these talented students was evident in their rousing performance!” The Nordonia Marching Band saw their efforts working on physical training, marching fundamentals, music technique and overall team work pay off by receiving this invitation. Additionally, MRI Software made the commitment to become a corporate sponsor. This event was a win-win for both organizations and a great example of community partnership!
Be sure to mark your calendars and join the band in their upcoming performances.
