Surprise Graduation Dance

The Portsmouth High School (Portsmouth, New Hampshire) class of 2015 shook things up a little at their graduation ceremony. When valedictorian Colin Yost finished his speech, he started dancing to the strains of “Shake It Off”! Then the entire class joined in, flashmob-style.

The graduates had been rehearsing for a while, but they all managed to keep the performance a secret surprise for their parents. I bet the school administration, at least some of them, were in on the plans. A good time was had by all. This kind of thing should become a tradition, to counteract the total bore most graduation ceremonies are. -via Buzzfeed

Thinking of the WHO concert in Cincinnati reminded me of an almost disastrous situation at an Emerson,Lake, and Palmer concert I attended. It was around 1973 at the Binghamton NY Arena. I was with a few friends that were in a large crowd on an entrance ramp waiting for the doors to open. all tickets were general admission. When they opened a few doors and the crowd began to move, there was a brief moment when I sensed fear as the crowd surged forward in unison. I could feel that it was impossible for me to stop as I was pressed from behind and forced to press in front of me. Fortunately there was no panic and the crowd eventually thinned out enough that me trepidation was relieved.
