P.S. 10 Parents And Staff Flash Mob Students
What do you get when you combine a school music program in opera and creative parents? At P.S. 10 in Park Slope, the result was a musical flash mob.
Over 800 unsuspecting students were doing their usual morning lineup in the schoolyard on Tuesday, June 19, when, at 8:40 a.m., over 100 of their parents, teachers and school administrators began streaming out of doorways and around corners, letting loose a 10 minute long song and dance number set to an excerpt from the famous aria from the opera ‘”Carmen,” Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow,” and LMFAO’s “Party Rock.”
“Two parents came to me with the idea and I thought it would be fabulous,” said Principal Laura Scott, who joined in on the festivities alongside Assistant Principal Denise Watson, both decked out in red feather boas. “One, it would show that the parents could be involved in any way they wanted to be. Two, I thought it would be a nice surprise to see parents and staff working together to establish something meaningful and fun and just great.”
