A slightly dark and sophisticated take on a VERY crowd-friendly theme, with music and visuals that audiences recognize and love.  The opening “Thunder and Blazes” production is familiar but presented in a surprising way, with features designed to highlight sections and visual gags like lion tamers and hoop dancers.  Tightrope walkers fill the field with colorful parasols in a gorgeous ballad of “The Man on the Flying Trapeze,” while the closing production features the drumline and the “daring” of the circus with a contemporary version of “Dance of the Tumblers.”  This is NOT your ordinary circus show! Clever and fun custom marching band arrangements that will set you apart!
