Memorial Union

One situation that can be evaluated are when the DJ’s play for events next to the Memorial Union. Some days a group will want to promote itself so they hire a DJ to play live music in front of the Memorial Union. The first thing to evaluate and determine if the event is bringing the community together would be if the music is relaxing or loud. The music usually being played is techno so it would not be prime for discussion considering the lyrics for techno are absent or not deep. Techno is produced for the sound rather than the singing which means the audience members never talk about the lyrics in the song. The second part to evaluate is whether the audience is discussing about the music and the audience in the Memorial Union usually walk right by the music without even paying attention to it. There is never a crowd listening to the music outside the Memorial Union, the music being played there is for commercial use to promote a club while playing music. The third detail to notice the setting of where the live music is being played. The music being played from the DJ is at the Memorial Union is probably one of the worst places to talk about to people. If people were in a group it would be one of the worst places considering how loud the music is, and everyone is usually busy on their way from or to a class during that time in front of the Memorial Union. The place where DJ’s usually play in front of the Memorial Union would not be good to interact with people. They rarely play guitar music so this would not be an example of how people interact with each other through live guitar music.
