Upcoming: Flashmob Proposal

March 26th, 2012 | Posted by Improv in Toronto in Upcoming Missions - ()

We have been approached to help with someones proposal! And we figured why not. So we wrote a song, which we’ll all be joining in, and singing!

Listen to the song:

The event will be quite similar to our Best Busker Ever event. You can see the video for that, here
Imagine this. They will both be going out for lunch. While eating they are approached by a man with a guitar, asking if they would like a song. He gets both their names

He begins singing. Talking about when they first met, and the memorable moments in their life so far. At this point she’s very confused at how he knows these things.

As the song builds, more and more people join in. Everyone from the surrounding tables, people from the streets, etc. A the song gets to the end, he gets down on one knee. (more…)

Everyone is invited to participate in an all out, team oriented, exciting race: The 3rd Annual Toronto Scavenger Hunt!
Here are the details for the hunt!

When: Saturday, May 12th at 3:00 PM, Sharp!
(Event will be over around 6:00 PM)
Where: Meet at Nathan Phillips Square, the north side of the skating rink.
What to bring: A backpack, a metropass/day-pass, digital camera, and about $10 for certain tasks.
Wear: Durable and comfortable clothing, running shoes.

How it works!

We will be meeting up at Nathan Phillips Square at 3pm. Please be on time. Feel free to be early.

-We will be creating teams (with team names!) Each team will be made up of between 6-8 people. If you come alone, we’ll be sure to find you a group, and if you come with friends, don’t worry you can stay with them!

-The scavenger lists will then be handed out. The list contains tons of items found in the downtown core of Toronto. Some are physical items you will need to find, others will be pieces of information, and some might even involve tasks.

-Depending on the difficulty of the items on the list, they will all have been awarded point totals. The harder they are to find, the more points they will be worth.

After two hours of searching, we will be meeting back up at Nathan Phillips Square to tally the points!

Let the scavenge begin!

Upcoming: Best Busker Ever

January 19th, 2012 | Posted by Improv in Toronto in Upcoming Missions - ()

Best Busker EverEveryone is invited to attend! We are going to
sing as a mass crowd, all to one unsuspecting person. Creating a moment that for the rest of their life, they will never forget. Here’s how:

FIRST: Listen to the song we’ll be singing:
http://soundcloud.com/improvintoronto/best-busker-ever-group

-

Imagine this. A man, standing by himself guitar in hand. Beside him sits a sign advertising that he’s singing personalized songs. Walking by, random unsuspecting people, ask for a song.

He begins singing. Using their name he mentions how they’ve just met, and how cool they seem, etc.

As he starts singing someone joins in with a ukelele. And then another person joins, and another. And then some backup singers. And then a whole band. And it just grows and grows until everyone in the area is singing a personalized song to this one person.

We want you to be a part of it! Help sing, or play an instrument, or just blowing a kazoo. Doesn’t matter if you have no musical talent. The whole idea is to have as many people as possible singing to this one surprised person!

-
NOTE: We will be REHEARSING the song and PERFORMING all on the same day. Please be on time.

When: March 3rd. 12pm-5pm
Where: Nathan Phillips Square
RSVP: Facebook

How you can help make this amazing:
1) Show up! EVERYONE can sing.
2) Learn the song! (Lyrics: http://soundcloud.com/improvintoronto/best-busker-ever-group)
3) If you are skilled at an instrument bring it along!
4) Spread word to anyone and everyone.
5) If you know any choirs, marching bands, orchestras, musicians, singers, bands, school choirs, etc; help them get in contact with us!
