Frederick In the Streets goers were in for a big surprise when our very own Hood students suddenly broke out in a flashmob.<\/p>\n
Flashmobs have been in style for the past few years and are always popping up when least expected. Pre-choreographed dances are practiced by a group of people and are taken out to public places and events in the middle of routine errands and schedules.<\/p>\n
Students from all over campus invested eleven hours of practice time to learn a flashmob routine to MKTO\u2019s \u201cClassic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabriela Enriquez, the new Hood College Student Musical Theatre director, took on her first venture by directing the flashmob. When asked how she chose the song, Enriquez explained that she \u201cwanted a song that was upbeat, fun, and over all, classic.\u201d She found the song fitting since the dance was staged in the bridal area of the event.<\/p>\n
Enriquez explained, \u201ceveryone loved the song when it came out\u2026it\u2019s all about a guy who falls in love with a girl who is classic.\u201d What is more classic than a beautiful wedding?<\/p>\n
When watching the dance, Gabriela wanted people to \u201cgo back in time and relive those classic moments.\u201d Over twenty students participated, and they definitely brought excitement to the crowd and made people talk.<\/p>\n
Enriquez is really excited for the upcoming events for musical theatre and for being a first time director. She already has a flash mob routine under her belt and she is ready for \u201cmore experience\u201d since she\u2019s been brushing up and \u201cstudying all summer\u201d.<\/p>\n
Gabriela Enriquez is very invested in Hood\u2019s musical theatre program and aims to get students and the community more involved this year. Enriquez is \u201creally concentrating on the show coming up\u201d and making sure it\u2019s available for even more people to enjoy it than years previous.<\/p>\n
There are plenty more events under HCSMT\u2019s wing, but this flashmob experience has definitely become a memory that is truly classic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
