Description
“Illusion is sometimes all that keeps us sane,” writes author Laurell Hamilton, as so often realities of life feel too heavy to bear. When illusions of love, illusions of fidelity, illusions of happiness are stripped away to unveil painful truths, a person can quickly lose touch, can find themself off-center. Marty McCartt explores such concepts through this marching band show of startling yet powerfully beautiful tunes. From Philip Glass’s perceived notion of nature in “The Canyon,” to Don Ellis’s fusion of jazz and classical elements in the melancholy “Loss,” to Samuel Barber’s wildly passionate “Medea’s Dance of Vengeance,” a memorable, winning season will be your genuine reality!
