Twist and Shout Flash Mob at Bunnies and Bonnets Parade

Posted on March 24th, 2019 by DCBA

UPDATE: Practice for Wednesday April 17th has been moved to the Children's Room at the Home Church.

If you've ever wanted to feed your inner Ferris Bueller and do the Twist and Shout dance in a parade, you'll have a chance to knock one more item off of your bucket list at this year's Bunnies and Bonnets Parade. The parade organizers will be working with the Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) Marching Band to coordinate a Twist and Shout flash mob as part of this year's parade.

If you'd like to participate, there are multiple opportunities for you to learn the dance. Practice sessions will be held at the FCSN Center in San Jose. There's also a video (below) that you can watch to learn the dance on your own.

Performance Details

You'll be the last group in the parade and will be marching behind the FCSN Marching Band. Three times during the parade, the band will play Twist and Shout. You'll move to the front and perform the dance together. Dress in comfortable clothing and wear bunny ears if you have them.

Practice Location

Please check back the day before practice times. The location may change.

May 1-15, 2019, the Middlebury Institute of International Studies will host the “One Trial – Four Languages” exhibition in the upstairs and downstairs lobbies of the McCone building on the MIIS campus (499 Pierce Street in Monterey). This exhibition, curated by the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), spotlights the men and women who interpreted at the Nuremberg Trials at the end of the Second World War.

The exhibit celebrates the lives of the disparate team of Russian émigrés, military men of letters, and concentration camp survivors who broke new ground by simultaneously interpreting the criminal proceedings at this international tribunal. This was the first time that the practice of simultaneous interpretation was used in this way in such a public arena, although today it is a familiar feature of international organizations’ deliberations. The four languages of the courtroom were English, French, German, and Russian.

In addition to perusing the inspiring biographies of these pioneering interpreters, visitors to the exhibition will be able to watch newsreels of the Nuremberg trials from the perspective of a simultaneous interpreter sitting in an industry-standard portable simultaneous interpretation booth. Rather than hearing a live speaker, as the Nuremberg interpreters did, the public will hear testimony in the four original languages, some interpreted by the very interpreters who were present at the Trials, some by the next generation of interpreters, members of AIIC.

The captivating exhibition will provide a unique opportunity for visitors to learn firsthand about this little-known and frequently misunderstood profession.
