The students of Tawa College, Wellington, New Zealand, did a staged performance of a remixed version of Julie Andrew's "Do-Re-Mi" at the Wellington Railway Station. They were filmed with the purpose of creating a music-video supplimentary to their annual musical performances - starting on Friday 24th July 2009 @ Tawa College.
The Do-Re-Mi dance idea has been inspired by a mass-mob dance in a Belgium train station, as what seems to be dozens and dozens of people dancing in public, taking many daily commuters by total surprise!

I don't care what all of you say - I liked it. I really liked both of them. I was trying to imagine how I would feel standing in the train station and Julie Andrews comes singing over the loud speaker. That would have put a smile on my face. Then to have these 'comuters' suddenly explode into dance - why I would have a HUGE smile all through it (and would probably wish I was somewhere in the balcony to get the whole effect). That probably brought smiles to many who really needed it.

It doesn't matter that the kids "weren't as good" as Antwerp or whatever - they did a wonderful job on their own merits, and that's a happy song no matter where one goes. I think some of the onlookers were surprised by the events, even if it was staged - there's always someone that didn't see/hear any announcement in news media. And the more the kids perform, the better they get! (and I LOVED the button-rimmed hat, 1980's or not!!). Well done!!

It is always wonderful, and a miracle of the joy of living, when young people perform in a moment of joy filled time. This IS true art.. whatever all these comments and comparisons are about, who cares! Any joy, anyplace in this world, is a reminder of something larger than ourselves and our momentary issues, that should be embraced with gratitude, not attitude.

Quit criticizing. The purpose of this one is to advertise the college play. They did a great job of it! The Belgium one was for the purpose of causing a surprise and it was also accomplished. Why compare the two? Different purposes. Great dancing, both! I love the song.

Excuse me but, this is not correctly how to sing I am in professional choir and im sure in there voices they're not using there "Aw-O" sound. And they do not do correct movements and breathing such as sucking air into there stomachs,keeping tight, and also they do not have a correct posture for singing. Please reply if you think what I think, I would appreciate it alot. 😄

@freakingwildchild 14 жыл бұрын

This performance looks a lot "more made" because of the costumes and acting etc.. I'm prefering the Antwerp version because of it's instant improvisation and collaboration with the public because of it's mob. This one isn't really a surprise but rather an act. There could be a lot more potential with this, if it would be less of a closed prestudied act with more collaboration towards the public. Still, very good trying to create something similar with a smaller group. Kudos!

I don't know why people criticize this, it was great to see it just like the Antwerp version was. They all seemed to be having a great deal of fun and isn't that more important then whether they are costumed, or whatever. Lets just enjoy watching people enjoying themselves. This should be repeated in every major station in every major capital city.

Dear KZfaq, I would like to remind you that there is a description bar which A) states that is was not an original idea, B) that it was for a school performance, and C) it was filmed by one person - the cameras you see are from tv news. A show like this is for your ENJOYMENT, and not your over-zealous critique. Sorry Sanni3003, I don't mean for your to cop the brunt of this message, but, sometimes messages left on this video are plain senseless. Have a good day, Andrew
