Flash mobs have become kind of overdone, especially the cheesier versions. However, this one the U.S. Air Force Band is pure class, as they kick off the holiday season with an original arrangement of Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring/Joy to the World,” led by the band’s commander and conductor, Col. Larry H. Lang. Starting with a single cellist on the floor of the National Air and Space Museum’s “Milestones of Flight” gallery, and swelling to 120 musicians, treating unsuspecting museum visitors to four minutes of pure holiday cheer. Watch as instrumentalists streamed into the gallery from behind airplanes and space capsules, and vocalists burst into song from the Museum’s second floor balcony.
