FlashMobbers Choir

The new Brisbane based, community choir – “FlashMobbers Choir” – is making waves with its unique approach to performance and community involvement. Established with the goal of bringing music to the public spaces of South East Queensland, this choir is not just any group of singers; it’s a dynamic ensemble dedicated to the art of flash mob performances.

The Concept of FlashMobbers Choir

Flash mobs, spontaneous gatherings often organised through social media or other digital means, have gained popularity worldwide for their surprise element and the joy they bring to unsuspecting audiences. The FlashMobbers Choir aims to take this concept to new heights by preparing a repertoire of “FlashMob Friendly” songs. These performances are designed to delight and engage the public in places like parks, malls, and city squares.

Membership: A Choir for Everyone

One of the most remarkable aspects of the FlashMobbers Choir is its inclusive nature. With a dynamic membership (typically ranging from 4 to 20 members) depending on the song and type of performance, the choir does not require auditions, opening its doors to anyone with a passion for singing and performing. This inclusive approach makes flash mobs more accessible to everyone, both as spectators and participants, fostering a sense of community and shared musical joy.

Potential Repertoire: A Mix of Genres and Eras

The FlashMobbers Choir is in the process of selecting a diverse range of songs for their performances. Here are some we are considering that resonate well in a flash mob setting:

1. “One Day More” from Les Miserables – An iconioc and powerful song that is already very popular as a FlashMob Classic
2. “Dancing Queen” by ABBA – A timeless classic that invites onlookers to sing and dance along.
3. “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles – A universally loved song that brings a sense of nostalgia and togetherness.
4. “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – A modern hit with an infectious beat, perfect for energetic flash mobs.
5. “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers – A soulful tune that speaks to the support and community spirit of the choir.
6. “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake – An upbeat track that’s sure to get the crowd moving.
7. “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen – A challenging yet rewarding piece that showcases the choir’s vocal talents.

The Impact of FlashMobbers Choir

The FlashMobbers Choir is more than just a singing group; it’s a movement that aims to bring people together through the power of music. By performing in public spaces, the choir not only entertains but also creates unexpected moments of happiness and connection among strangers. Their performances are a celebration of community, art, and the unifying power of song.

In a world where digital connections often overshadow real-life interactions, the FlashMobbers Choir is a breath of fresh air, reminding us of the joy and surprise that live, communal experiences can bring. As they prepare to take to the streets of Brisbane, the FlashMobbers Choir is set to become a fixture in the region’s cultural landscape.
