On April 5, 2011, Capitol Hill saw its first ever flash mob when "The Capital Hearings" led the crowd of politicians, arts advocates and celebrities in a rousing rendition of America the Beautiful! This is a mash-up of footage from OvationTV as well as several crowd-sourced cell phone videos. Special thanks to Americans for the Arts for organizing Arts Advocacy Day and Ovation for their generous support.
