The students of Event Management class DMC08, 09, 10 & 11 of IACT College was given the opportunity to do promotional activities for KITA The Musical and we've came of with the idea of a flash mob. Flash mobs are pretty common nowadays but it's all about the fun and hype! :)
We collaborated with CausePlay, a flash mob community to help us out with the flash mob. We went around Klang Valley for the flash mob activities on 6th June and 13th June.
6th June (Sunday)
We started our day meeting everyone at KL Sentral at 8.45am. As usual, most flash mobsters started to come in about 9am. We gave everyone their T-shirts and boarded the bus to our first location which is Times Square!
A fun photo session before the flash mob starts.
The starting of the flash mob. Everyone just stood still, blind folded for about 5 minutes. Some passerby stopped and look at the 'scene' caused by us. As I was going around photographing, an ang moh guy came to me and asked what was all of this about.
Singing Negaraku as the first song. We also sang other songs such as Tepuk Amai Amai, Rasa Sayang etc accompanied by the kompang.

Last location - Lot 10
This was an interesting one as we just stood in one line, hands locked at stood still for 10 minutes. Onlookers were curious and I got to talk to a few interesting people about the musical. That was the end of our flash mob for the day! Everyone slept on the bus on the way back.
June 13th (Sunday)
Less people turned up for this session but it did not deter us from performing our best! We met up again in KL Sentral at 10am. This time, we decided to do a freeze for the flash mob.
