Chris.
The People of God were to show how sad they were! This was an unusual request from God for His People and they needed to obey it simply because it came from God and it was correct. It was a time for mourning because they were under God's Hand of Judgement. Even the Priests and Prophets were involved, they were not omitted or given some 'special Grace'. How awesome it would be today if Christian Leaders had the same kind of heart towards God, then leading the people into New Life in Him.
