Flashmob

Flashmob A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. And that is exactly what we did! We planed, practiced, practiced, and practiced again before we scouted out the area, plugged in the sound system, performed, and dispersed.

I have been watching flashmobs on Youtube for about a year now. Usually, when we gather as a group of friends someone is sure to volunteer the latest improve, or flashmob that they have recently viewed and of course we all huddle around the computer and are easily entertained for the duration of the 3-5 minute song. Some of my favorites over the year include: Oprah's Black Eyed Peas, Food Court Musical,Sound of Music, and Grocery Store Musical.

Peace Portal Youth organized, choreographed, and orchestrated a Flashmob event for anyone from any age from the church plus their friends to participate in. Of course I wasn't going to miss out on this one. We practice two Fridays and one Saturday beforehand to make sure that we looked somewhat polished. It was a blast having all sorts of people young and old coming together for for one fun event.

January 23, 2010 Metrotown Grand Court 150 participants one sound system hidden in a shopping cart a great time had by all

Can you spot us? I am in a turquoise top with a black scarf dancing away on the green circle. Megan is plugging her nose doing the underwater dance. Sheldon is wearing a black and white striped shirt. The sound system is hidden in the that blue toys R' us shopping cart. The red scarfs symbol Hope for Haiti with the hopes that big cooperations will donate. We are in the works of asking big companies to match the dollar value with the number of views our flashmob video receives on Youtube. I will post the link as soon as all the footage has been compiled. Stay tuned.

The spectators, some of whom may or maynot of been let in on the location to take pictures and support their friends and family. Thanks Mom & Janna for taking pictures. ;)
