10 years ago, SteinbachOnline posted a video to the tune of "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor—Only, make it about bus safety.
Why? "Because you know I'm all about that bus, 'bout that bus, bus safety," sings MIX 96.7FM Morning Show host Corny Rempel from the seat of a Hanover School Division (HSD) bus.
Watch the video here:
While Rempel takes a front row—and middle, back, and even aisle—seat in the clip, which has surpassed 316,000 views on YouTube, he is also joined by some very special guests.
Those include bus mechanics from the HSD, as well as a group of Elmdale School students.
Ayesha Badiola was one of those students. Now, 10 years after the fact, the former Summer Fun Host for MIX96.7FM reminisces on the video and the time that's passed since.
"I would have been nine or ten. Oh my word," she laughs. "I feel old. You know how I make you guys feel old? I feel the same way now. I don't like it... It's karma, it just comes to get me."
The day the video was taken, Badiola reveals she was chosen to be a part of the video after finishing an assignment early.
"I was just doing my thing and then suddenly it's like, 'You're going to be on video.' I'm like, 'Oh, OK. Why not?'" Badiola says.
She remembers Rempel being there, and a bus, then being told to dance and push the Morning Show host as a part of a demonstration of what not to do on a bus.
The then Elmdale student has made leaps and bounds since taking part in this video.
"I just finished my last week of cre-comm (creative communications) classes, and now I'm in work placement and I'm doing marketing for Empty Cup Collective in Winnipeg," she says.
