Last week, KUSC (and KDFC, our sister station in Northern California) kicked off the #MakeSomeJoy challenge, asking listeners to upload videos of themselves performing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy using crafty homemade instruments to Facebook and Instagram with the hashtags #MakeSomeJoy #KUSC #KDFC. By the way, there’s still time to join the fun. In the meantime, enjoy some of our favorites so far.
