Flash Mob filmed with GoPro camera

We have always been about the "buzz": drawing attention and generating interest in an event or business with a little creativity and coordination. Therefore, when we learned that Steele Breeze would be playing during the Friday Night Concert Series in Rancho Cordova, we did a little math:

• Live music at a beautiful venue (thanks to the Cordova Council & sponsors)
• Zumba & U-Jam dancers who can pick up choreographer in a hurry (thanks to Cher and the other instructors at 24 Hour Fitness)
• Go-Pro camera (thanks to "Bob" at BobsPocket.com

This was the result: a flash mob video from the perspective of a "flasher"...
