“Everything you do influences others.”  This is the concept behind this theme show which uses carefully planned voice-overs to display this idea both visually and musically.  Using original music, we walk the audience through various ways that we influence those we meet during our day, including “cutting someone off in traffic” to create chaos, or “changing your style” which takes the music from a classical theme to a huge jazzy shout chorus! Full of great musical and visual effects, this show is a way to share a positive message in a clever and creative way.  Voice-overs are available upon request.  Bring sophisticated story-telling to your group with this custom marching band arrangement.
