This video below shows the ultimate flash mob . . . by the Air Force band. It is a great idea and done perfectly at the Air and Space Museum. It also highlights the incredible talent of our military bands.
Whoever came up with this idea needs to be made a general.
99guspuppet … you are entitled to your opinion, of course…but I do think you misunderstand a lot about what our military is all about. Never mind that in the past decades the military has struggled mightily with wonks in the White House calling shots they have never risked themselves. The bands do not kill people, wonks do. Understand my bias is that of the military I served…and my experience that the truly stupid stuff came from the White House.
I enjoyed it immensely!
Awesome – mairbair we should all go to Ferguson and sing “Silent Night”
Beautiful
wow how wonderful. maybe should have sent this group down to Fergusen MO. may have worked better than Holder.
Flash mob in the public library of Valladolid, Spain. The song is Wana Baraka and it’s a Kenyan song of peace. The language is Swahili:
“This video below shows the ultimate flash mob”
No it doesn’t, it shows a military PR campaign. I guess there is no description of the term “flash mob” in a law library sufficient for you to develop an understanding of the term. However, thanks to your obsequious grovelling, you boot-licking slimebag, you’ve probably helped the military force of a tyrannical government add a few bodies to, or increase public support of another endless war on everything and everyone. . .Did I mention that you’re a sleazebag?
Anarchist 2.0 lmao your jealous. lmao aaaaahahahahahahahahaha

You can hold on to talent with a private’s stripes.
While I am not a professional musician, I did have a lot of experience in high school, junior high, in band and chorus at the higher levels. So I can say that I was struck by the outstanding musicianship of this band and its presentation was very well thought out and the venue was quite good for the acoustics and outstanding execution. Very impressive and thanks for reminding us of the good troops we have.
I thought only the Rice Marching Owl Band, the MOB, had marching violins and strings since they are not well suited for marching bands. Those musicians must also play another instrument to be in the band. As for promotions being handed out like candy, you have to remember that promotions in the services are not handed out like candy at all. They have to continue to develop professionally to make rank, and I would guess that those with higher rank have at least a Bachelors degree and in many cases could choose to be officers if they left the band.
Good stuff, Pure and Simple.
Ridiculous that the government… through the military … should organize such musical talent ( and choose such music ) …. funded by money stolen using the threat of violence …. from taxpayers ….. USGov has won the Battle of Orwell Ridge…..
I see evidence that the Nazis in WWII had lined up some good musicians ….

Other than they are magnificent, I did notice they seem to hand out sergeant stripes like cotton candy. Like Inga, I would love to experience one of these in person. The looks on the faces of the audience were priceless. Great job Air Force Band.
So marvelous to be surprised and part of such beautiful music. Looks of joy on audience faces as it developed almost as good as the wonderful performance!
And yes Mauree, it brought tears to my eyes as well.
Oh! To be caught in such a flash mob one day before I die.
This administration will probably court-martial the lot for preforming the bigoted, homophobic, non-inclusive and decidedly Christian music.
OMG So Beautiful! Brings tears to your eyes.
A wonderful performance. I had the pleasure of witnessing the talent of the Air Force band at a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Very talented and very classy.
