SEASON 116

DRUM CORPS

Group: Black Gold
Director: bmwi3fanatic
Show Title: Unity in Diversity
Show Repertoire:

Selections from & Arrangements of:

We feel that a drum corps is the perfect ensemble to take on a musical and visual discussion of how by being diverse - we can all be unified. The show will feature voice-overs from several corps members. We are proud of what makes us all unique, and yet inspired by the fact we can all come together and perform in unity. We hope to take our audience on a journey of self realization - and to help widen their minds, spirits, and hearts. From the culture of the performing arts, to the Russian Empire, to the vastness of Africa, to the desert surrounding Mecca, to the storied pasts of Germany and Bulgaria - all of these and more will be rediscovered and brought to life! http://micromarching.com/show/5oyw/unity-in-diversity
