WOODLAND HILLS, CA — Students walking along the Mall near the Freudian Sip were greeted Monday with echoes of the Pierce College Choir. The “flash mob” came following the choir’s performance at the Plaza del Sol Theater at California State University, Northridge.
Members dressed in black tops and blue jeans began to warm up outside of the Student Store at 12:45 p.m. They attracted the attention of a handful of students that stopped and enjoyed a break from the stress of finals. Some students even pulled out their cell phones and cameras to capture the moment.
Cathryn Tortell, an adjunct instructor of music, is the director for the choir. She organized the impromptu free concert with one goal. “A lot of people don’t even know we exist,” Tortell said. “It was all about we exist.”
The plan worked and attracted the attention of Angela Enriquez, a 19-year-old nursing student. “I just walked by and saw them setting up,” Enriquez said.
