  • WOW....I really have nothing else to say...left speechless in wonder.

  • Love it

  • wow..big surprise

  • Didn't get it till after the Holidays, but it's so wonderful. I love that the flash mob phenomenon has made public space a (semi-) legitimate place for performance. Public temporal arts! Yay! "Deck the Halls" indeed!

  • Beautiful. !!!!!

  • Loved it 100%! Great!

  • That's why I LOVE this school.

    This brought tears to my eyes.

    Makes me proud to be a student here.....

  • You rock! I keep coming back. Last year, I kept my christmas tree up until June and turned the lights on every night. I think I'll be watching you all deck the halls until July. Wow!!

  • if they did that in my uni i think i'd join them!!!

  • does it count as a flash mob if 95% of the audience is in the production?

    

  • Should have been produced by the SOM to promote SOM, not CSOM lol.

  • Sometimes we kill you,

    Sometimes we can hear music....

    Come and visit american universities and die (sometimes)

  • @bobduvar Is that a threat??, I think we can lock you up in Federal Prison for a Threat. ooops!, I forget if your Law Enforcement, you can usurp the Constitution of the USA afforded to defendants, oooh silly me, I forgot! and that goes back from 10-31-1989, silly me!

  • @RobertBienenfeld i'm just amazed not to see any serial killer as we can see usually on your universities...

    What's going on ?? Are you sick ?

    As an european, i'm very amazed : No man with a gun in an american university !!!!

    Oh my goodness !!!! Changes are changing ??!!!! No ! No !! An American will never let his weapons !!!!! JUST STUPID ANGLO-SAXON BEHAVIOUR !!!!!

  • @bobduvar -- It's a shame that you're part the legion of Eurodunces who give the good people a bad name. Fortunately, Americans realize, for example, that French do more than riot and burn autos... But I can understand your confusion...it must seem odd to see students with guns...after all, in France, they wouldn't even pick them up whilst being overrun by Nazis! Good thing there are some adults in the world.

    Now slink back to your mudhold, froggie.

  • @CaponeAl36 You are not allowed to talk about the American 1944 generation and the nowaydays one. Your mouth is not clean enough for having an opinion.

    As you can see in your fucking society : you are the most hatred ppl in the World.

    Please, keep going boycotting our french fries, keep going throwing french bottles of wine in your gutters.

    Also, i hope you will meet the greatest american tradition during 2012 : A SERIAL KILLER.....

  • What a delight! Thanks.

  • Great job!!!

  • Great job by all! Love your multi-camera production. You made so many people SMILE (not to mention the smiles on YOUR faces). Awesome!

  • i this is like high school musical

    except, you know... this is actually interesting

  • i tried to sit through this but there were too many dbags

  • fab

    

  • what an amazing sound on that sax!

  • 156 scrooges didn't like this video? I think its wonderful! :)

  • Dude there's an evil bunny or something peeking out of the shades at 2:00

    I dunno if I would trust him

  • @Zenafora its there mascot Goldy the Gopher :)

  • Lovely!

    

  • absotively. posolutely AWESOME!

  • Video credits?

  • Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!

  • I kno the guy playing the saxophone, his name is Lisa Simpson!!!!!

  • I hate Glee

  • DALE!!!!!

    I KNOW YOU!!!!

    You make a great security guard, and a fabulous opera instructor. :)

  • @TheAmethystDreamer Dale Kruse, is ok, but he's done so much LSD-25 by Sandoz Lab, in Switzerland, that he sometimes, frequently has Flashbacks with the LSD-25. Now that sometimes happens, that he breaks out Dancing for some Unknown reason, when he hears music, especially Sax Music. If you know Dale Kruse, tell him to reign in his LSD-25 use, so he can secure his "Security Job" @ the Univ. of Minn. @ The Carlson School of Management.

  • @TheAmethystDreamer I know him too. Was excited to see him :D

  • 雪が降る!!

    

  • My mom and I loved this. :)

  • PACKER JERSEY!!!!! :)

  • oh no,why don't uploader wait until the priority deadline to post this video,I would have been rejected if a lot of people apply to U of Minn after seeing this video

  • This is so uplifting! Thank you to everyone involved.  A real-feel-good video.

  • Well that's what I call Christmas spirit! Not tons of candies and presents! Just people who come together to share their happiness!

  • I can't stop watching it

  • Nice Caucasian flash mob! Huge difference between this and the African flash mobs that terrorize the convenience stores.

  • @gunnersmatecpo What r u talking about?? Black Americans terrorizing 7-11 in Maryland was all staged, as the Federal Prison System (most of it). I guess u didn't take enough Kool Aid or better yet, do what "Dale Kruse" (The "Security Dude"), did in taking 10 hits of pure LSD-25, it will open up your reality gate on things. Most people (Sheeple) r nothing more than Prostitutes (in a figurative sense) 4 the Money via the Bankers (Rothchilds, Bilderbergs, Harrimans, Koch, etc..)

  • who would dislike this! my new fav video i play alto sax this guy is so talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like if u agree

  • Love the security guard

    Thank you all for doing this.

  • @wpwilt11 Tell Dale Kruse (Security Dude), you want to marry him. He is a 'Player', only thing, is he's got to cut down on the LSD-25, and he should take his 'Security Guard Job' more seriously, jobs are hard to come by nowadays, and if the security company does a drug test, it will test positive for LSD-25. He probably was a student @ Franklin Pierce, NH where he picked up his LSD-25 habit

  • If this was a cell phone recording, and one of the students was the sax player, and 20-40 students joined in, and some of the other people started dancing, and the sax player didn't suspect any of that, it would've been much more pleasing. Instead, it was all choreographed and rehearsed a ton... and with a camera crew and everything... I'm not impressed, my high school could do that with a little bit of rehearsing...

  • @Nick1120NR2003

    It's not likely that your high school would bother doing something like this. It was well rehearsed and sung well, and fun. Don't be an ass about it.

  • This one gives me chills. I LOVE it!! Very well done.

  • so beautiful!

  • Its not really a flash mob if EVERYONE is in on it and you have a full camera crew. This is just viral marketing surely.

  • Fantastic!

  • Thank you for your gift... Merry Christmas from Italy!!! Andrea

  • AWESOME!!!!

    

  • Merry Christmas from Taiwan!~

  • What holidays?

  • At first i thought people weren't gonna clap.

  • What's the intro part the sax starts with before he goes into the first singing song?

  • @eater1130 : Anton Dvorak, Symphony #9 "From The New World", movement 2, Adagio: watch?v=uH8FvERQHtM

  • That was very nice. It gave me chills,

  • @lakpolmit if your a hot female, I'll warm you up...

  • Perfect...simply perfect. Well done.

  • Not sure what camera they shot this with but this ain't no ordinary flash mob I'll say that much!

  • for a sec i thot the security was gonna ruin it!

  • @chern1172 Nah! Dale Kruse told me he took about 10 hits of pure Sandoz Lab Grade LSD-25, while he was doing 'Security' for the Univ of Minn. @ Carlson School of Management. And when the Sax player came on, Dale, just was in the full intensity of his LSD trip and couldn't help break out dancing with the Sax player. The Administrators didn't mind, cause they said it would improved their low enrollment at the College and use it in a Youtube Video like this.

  • Sadly the school of management students and professors were too busy learning how to outsource American jobs to take notice.

    Said one student, Joey Gopher, "what happened here? I was trying to evaluate how to pad my pockets with absurd bonuses, heard some singing, but went back to my glorified clerical work."

  • @woodycoat You mean to tell me, some people actually study over there, rather, than take money from Uncle Scam/Uncle Sham/Uncle Boris for some marketing College video (Deck the halls). You mean there are some students/people 'Above Reproach'. Maybe there some small dimmer of hope in this Country, small albeit though!.

  • @woodycoat Word. Google "Mortgage Movies" and see what I mean, Peace.

  • An emotional experience!

  • So much better, so much more genuine than the T-Mobile riff HOME for the Holidays shot at the MALL! I noticed that this was posted November 30 -- 6 days before T-Mobile posted theirs. Question: did a private company steal the idea from a government institution?

  • @scholasticon Don't u know, unless u have total Government Employees sworn 2 secrecy, Secrets, will always leak out..-> U don't think w/ the massive amounts of cellphones & smart phones, somebody didn't record the Carlson School of Management (@ Univ. of Minn.) Flash Dance, while the Government was doing the taping of the "Flash Dance" 4 "Youtube", however , Uncle Scam/Uncle Sham/Uncle Boris w/ alignment w/ the Bankers, have much better Financing, & Cameras & Resources.

  • The best

  • This is wonderful. Proud to live in MN :-) Happy holidays!!

  • Thumbs up if AL LOWE and CyberJoke3000 sent you here! :D

  • Kind of reminds me of 'sister act:2'

  • Lovely.... Thank you for lighting me the real spirit of Christmas!

  • love it~!

  • MN rocks and I love the snow flake effect

  • Yeah! This is soo cool, I want to be part of a flashmob one day, It would be soo much fun.

  • If this was done in the "public" square University it would be shut down by the anti-Christmas Grinch leftists immediately. KUDOS!

  • Waaaaaaaaaay too many camera angles. What. Ever.

  • Steadicams, rather...

  • @freestyleralphing Look at all the popular flash mobs with a million+ views and damn near everyone of them uses cranes, jibs, and or stedicams.

  • Flash mobs don't usually involve cameras on dollies...

  • Now that's what I call a happy get together. Bring it on folks y'all got it going. !!!! 

  • Damn, this makes me want to do something like this at my high school. I just need enough people.

  • That will put you into a Christmas mood!!

  • Awesome! It gave me chills.

  • OMG! WTF is Goldie doing at the School of Management? I saw his ass peeking through a blind. lol

  • 97% of the schools students found a job in their field last year. Median (not mean or average) salary was $97,507. Search for the December 5th, 2011 article in the MN Daily for details. Youtube doesnt allow me to post the link.article

  • Great acoustics in that building!

  • Awesome!!

  • That's really cool!

  • Enjoy life and enjoy holiday! UoM students!

  • Love it :-)

  • Beatiful!! Very well done!!

  • Click  here: Battle Hymn

  • Happy Holidays from IU

  • This is a great! It is a wonderful example of why I love Christmas and being an American. Muslims could never come up with anything like this. Here's why: They don't know the meaning of the word "joy" (their religion is based upon obligation, duty, and fate). By contrast, Christianity is based upon joy, grace, love, forgiveness, and redemption. Merry Christmas to one all all!!!!

  • @natkingfrog Yeah this is great. But how about, as you're obviously a practising Christian, leaving the comments about other religions out of it? I know heaps of Muslims who know the word "joy", as well as grace, love etc. etc. Unless you actually practise a religion, you know nothing about it. You are simply on the outside looking in with no idea what the conversation is about.

  • @natkingfrog Don't knock the Muslim religion, cause you are akin knocking the Jewish religion...

  • Comment removed

  • Oh, choir nerds. If only you could dance. Or act. It's cute anyway.

  • Beautiful!

  • To all the nay-sayers, sorry this great event was so depressing for you.  Life must be a real trial everyday with so little spontaneous joy in your life and your anxiety about everyone else's beliefs.

  • i love the saxophone :) such a pretty sounding instrument. beautiful video guys

  • So amazing to see this stuff actually happens.

  • wunderbares Video, das einen wirklich beeinduckt.

    

  • @MrPhilflip Impressed about what?, about a video SETUP, staged, choreographed, by the Bankers (Globalist/Elitists), in Association with "The Man" (Uncle Scam/Uncle Sham/Uncle Boris), that's what to be impressed with? I don't think so!. Unless your doing another rewrite of the book "Are we all Nazis" by Hans Askenasy. Then perhaps so! After all everyone is a Prostitute (in a figurative sense) for the Bankers, and of course "Its all about the money!" (on everything)

  • Thank You so very much!

  • This is amazing and wonderful. Wow.

  • That is amazingly good choral singing. Great stuff!

  • That was fantastic! I wanted it to go on and on!

  • this is a pretty gay flash mob lol

  • @RAAB0601 Yeah!, I thought the dude, who came on @ 1:38 seconds moving his "Jowls" in the video, looked kind of gay. Now they say the Security Officer was gay, but I happen to know "Dale Kruse", loves women and is married, I believe, and is a player. Now the dude, that comes on @ 1:38 in the video, I have heard from others, he likes to be on all fours. (and you know what that means)..

  • i appreciated the fact that the production ws performed first of all, and then presented to the Rest of Us!!

  • PS I'm an athiest and even I can appreciate this video.

  • @lovelessdance32 do you have anything against the cross or nativity scene s of Jesus birth?

  • @majorl311 I have nothing against any religion. I respect everyone's beliefs and opinions enough to appreciate this video.

  • People saying this is religious should note that the song itself, although makes references to Christmas, talks about the season as a whole. "Tis the season to be jolly" not "Tis the Christmas to be jolly" get off your high horses and just enjoy the incredible flash mob.

  • Mr. Kruse (security guard) best choir teacher ever hands down!

  • @xpAOxp Only thing, he's (Dale Kruse) not a good Security Guard, he renege on his Job (broke out & started Dancing by having a LSD Flashback) responsibilities, & probably lost his VHF Transceiver. I hope he doesn't lose his job, as the "Security Guard", but these days, Corporations (under Uncle Scam/Uncle Sham/Uncle Boris) have little tolerance 4 trouble makers, & people who step out of line w/ Corporate Policies. "Y b Normal" (Y! b'kz, if u'r not, u'll b fired!-working @ a Corporation).

  • @RobertBienenfeld Oh, fer Chrissakes, let the rhetoric go for once. It's Christmas (yeah, I know: a capitalist plot, right?). Stop being a pain in the ass all the time. Smile, will ya?

  • @RobertBienenfeld Where might I ask did you pull this out of your ass from the statement that he's the best choir teacher ever?

  • @xpAOxp "Best Speak out of your mouth, than ones ass!.

  • @RobertBienenfeld Touche sir

  • AWESOME JOB! Keep the spirit of Christmas alive in your heart always

  • I just went through 12 links to get here.

  • Comment removed

  • A nice politically correct choice if I do say so myself. *note sarcasm*

  • How refreshing to see the Christmas spirit being shown in such a way. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Great job, guys. Awesome.

  • B-E-A-U-tiful!!!!!! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you!

  • I was uplifted by this event! To the pooh-poohers below: "If you don't like it, don't watch it." If you are there, leave. Why do you have to ruin something so joyous for everyone else? Get a life, and while you're at it, live and let live. Linda

  • Love it!

  • I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Security Guard.

  • @SACH1946 BTW if you love the Security Guard, so much, his name is "Dale Kruse", I happen 2 know he's a "Player"-I'm not sure if he's married, but he is a "Player", and loves interacting w/ "Young Women", however, u've got to b careful as his "LSD Flashbacks" come on, anytime, & he might break out dancing, as he did, when he renege from his Security Job, @ the Univ. of Minn. @ Carlson School of Management. He lost his VHF Transceiver, while he LSD Flashback tripped & started dancing.

  • I love these flash mobs! Oh if every day had such vibrant spontaneity! What a wonderful planet this would be!!!

    :-)
