Take a musical dive into the coral reef, exploring sea life with the beauty and danger of the sea. Based on the music of Camille Saint-Saens, this show features surprising contemporary arrangements of music from “Carnival of the Animals” (the popular “Aquarium” and “The Swan”) and “The Organ Symphony.” These custom marching band arrangements are so strong that you could attach almost any concept to them and let your imagination create any concept you want!

I know these midi recordings are pretty bad, but I like this show and audiences love these melodies!  When listening, the piano sounds represent the front ensemble music and any repeated notes are for drum breaks.  Use your imagination and you’ll see the potential of this show! Working to get new recordings soon!
