[keepsapoppin]

yay! im in this video!!

[AN5WER321]

NICE

[WhatTheBend]

You guys were well prepared to film this, nice cinematography!

[therealdestructicus]

for people who think that was spontaneous and not meticulously planned are complete idiots.

[JoachimderZweite]

@therealdestructicus Every party has a pooper.....

[jewelscorbin]

I would've LOVED to be there! Great Flash!!!!

[jordanchie1]

I live in bend and i dont remember this!

[chelseasullivent]

It'd be better if they all had rhythm.... ha

[revjackhowell]

@chelseasullivent I suppose you could do better?

[Eddynew]

true flashmob! I love it :-))

[GodzChoZen1]

1:20 Girl in pink foot get's stepped on!! HAHA....

[Accipiter1138]

Being from Bend, I had to love this. Shame about the song choice, though.

[gat166]

while this was goin on i was smoking blunts to tha dome

[MrPerfumen]

いい！！

[revjackhowell]

No, its not an all girls flash mob. Other videos shot of the same event show males participating.

[MisterShrek]

You all are awesome!! Well done!

[mayne75l]

I love when the one girl steps on the others foot.

[triguydeguy]

This is a happy video of a flash mob. Simple, pure and great. Yay, Bend.

[kodawo3]

any one prepared to spread this much love should be applauded, more of you in the world would make it a far better place to live :-)

[LuniaLexis]

is this an all girls flash mob?

[morty66]

Any place that has this much community involvement, I want to move to! Great job!

[saradecember]

Right on, my old hometown.

Bend forever! ♥

(That was on my birthday,too. : )

I ♥ Bend.

[Hotarushi]

Whoever decided to start it with the girl was a genius, it catches the people's attention. Are all the dancers girls? It looks like it. Go Bend!

[fywssMusicTV]

Amazing and fun! Well done! May I attach a dance video to be a response to your wonderful video? Merry Christmas! Greetings from Hong Kong, China!

[phulnelson]

apparently, these people have nothing better to do.

[thenewesthere]

what is the name of the first song ?

[fhcchoir]

Nothing brings people together like music and dance...

We need more of if in this world...

[LhamoEx]

somebody should have yelled " ITS A FLASH MOB NOBODY MOVE! "

[saradecember]

@LhamoEx

I'm doing a flah mob in Sacramento next weekend-

may I please use your line?! : )

[amazeblaze]

kinda ruins the surprise that police are doing crowd control. great job though

[sierracuban]

Bend, Oregon, in Deschutes County, and on the Deschutes River.....We who are geography nuts know about you even out here in Miami, Florida......I lived in Medford for a while back in 1975, but you are colder and drier.....Boy, those Anglo girls can shake it like Miami Latinas ! Greetings to you ! Sierra Cuban, Miami, FL

[FreeAgain2]

book um' Danno - public disturbance. ;)

[txb2gd]

Very nice !! Thanks for sharing!!! : )

[softanswers]

Merry Christmas

[Glassdarkly30]

Ah, Bend Oregon... Home sweet home:-) The more towns & cities I travel to & experience, the more I come to appreciate Bend. We have a unique town culture.

[poopstreek]

Bend Oregon us full of uptight, stuck up people.

I hope they all suffocate in a pit of their own smug.

[TerrorSquadLaxer]

@poopstreek hahahaha

[SergiuHellDragoon]

I'm a friendly guy,just ask for friendship

[nareea]

I'd love to have experienced this in person.

[GarIicjr]

was this the jailbait parade of bend over oregon?

[rednoseroxy]

Thumbs up if your cock itches.

[Gennisis01]

Did anybody else see that Little Kid Running from Michael Jacksons ghost in 2:33 ?

[soarandsing49]

We need a lot more of this kind of fun and dance and singing. The world has need of this uplifting and joyful expression to bring us back to the fact that we are all one.

[kaegansmama]

I grew up in Bend.....this video made me miss it there!!!

[rjcooler]

THAT BLACK GIRL OWNT THE SHOW

[mackiechang]

@rjcooler that was like...the only non white person in that whole city

[favgamma]

@rjcooler Until you made that statement everyone was color blind, which makes you the racist.....

[KNIedGHT]

I don't dance, I don't like Vanilla Ice, but that little girl who kicked the whole thing off.....well, she rocked!! Kool Kudos Kid.

[Constantine057]

World record for the most UGG boots in one picture?

[Scrubs2U]

Love it, just think of all the memories and fun this will stay in everyones mind for years

[SlowAkshen]

WHOOTY@0:26... Love it.

[ikurasake]

"They're dancing to 'Under Pressure', by Queen?"

"Oh wait..."

[aeroliner750]

very cool very cool

[HisSheepMI]

This would be a fun way to pass the time waiting for a parade to start!

[sjerads]

Why were they hugging the police officer?

[graffitinest23]

Damn the girl walking in at :26 got a booty!!!

[WindyNightGreen]

I just stumbled across this. I love our little town... you guys rock! Hope you have something planned for this year!

[lynndergin]

Love this,its wonderful!!!!!

[Saepokegai]

is it just me or is every one of those dancers a girl?

[6883a927]

Where's the Christ part?

[smp7882]

i just moved back n soooo glad i did!

[StreakyTheFurry]

I LIVE HERE!! :D

WOW I LOVE THIS TOWN.

it has the most wonderful events,

the community always makes a big deal about

events like this...like half the city crowds the downtown (:

[LaMusicaOfficial]

Why didn't I get the memo the be in this?!!! Message me, and I want to be in the next one!!! :-)

[predator1able]

[NowLifeStarts]

Nice to see a bunch of people get together and have fun like this even in these sad economic times.

[LiveLaughLoveLane]

I live on bend!!!!

[blueliner1776]

1:12

[sagadeathwitch]

loved it!

[JediJen7]

Joyful! Thank you!

[BobbyPuun]

Lily white town !

[duckmanx88]

talk about a WHITE Christmas. lol

[BendOregonHomes]

Gotta love Bend!

[morphproducti0ns]

Its cool you should check out my channel im from bend!

[fomerrxstudent]

This doesn't really seem like a flash mob to me. I thought the whole point to a FM is that anyone can jump in and join...I can't/won't/don't dance though.  Maybe I'm wrong.

[sprinklenose]

that was great, i was actually at home when this happened but i heard about it at Summit. who put this together??

[infoboxrun]

i just went to the trouble and created a user account, to say that this is not a flash mob obviously. I was there and this was all very pre-planned and choreographed. Some of the dancer admitted to me they went to the same dance school even though most tried to keep it a secret...

[revjackhowell]

@infoboxrun And you are to be believed, why?

[robo116]

this gives hope for everybody greetings from Holland

[lazlow88]

bend sucks

[atlast23]

Good job!  Major kudos to the kid that went first. A leader in the making....

[melly7070]

Very nice guys!!!

[rognyc]

NO boys in Bend would flashmob?

[tannint]

Awesome and Inspiring. Great Job!

[stevemallen1]

Great Job Everyone!

[hokuboi808]

Thats pretty good but you guys need more variety of people like older and younger people, Maybe some more males and try to get more people, Also you should tell your dancers to be more enthused and excited some people look like they were just doing it because they were forced to or something! Other than that it was Great!! Hiope to see some more later on!

[adhocoregon]

Nice piece of guerilla marketing. -HOC

[Mckyeli]

[DomoInUrRobato]

[marketingdept4u]

What a great show of community spirit! Bend is AWESOME!!!!! Take THAT 2009 - nasty recession year....

[BestOf90sCCM]

cool!

[BendORCelebration]

Thanks for the kudos Craig.

It was a group of people that wanted to show the community what can happen by just coming together and having fun. Will see if they want to be nameless or not.

[mariegg89]

@BendORCelebration 

[familyadmin]

That was so fun to watch! Great job cutting that together so quickly. Throw some credits at the end, will ya? So we know who's great work that is!

--Craig

[blerten]

Great job folks! Shows how much I know about flash mobs - I didn't realize they can be so pre-planned/choreographed!

[andhehorseurodeinon]

@blerten Yeah I'm with you! I guess the term "Flash Mob" has evolved in a very short time. On the other hand, they looked like they were having fun so WTF. Merry Holidays and all that.
