Born on athletic fields across the nation, BLAST! is a novel art form with full theatrical splendor that has evolved from the grand showmanship of outdoor pageantry. It is a virtual potpourri of big band & marching music -- trumpets, trombones, snare drums, mellophones, euphoniums and vibraphone -- choreographed motion, swirling color flags and twirling wooden rifles. Featuring 35 talented young men and women, BLAST! is an exuberant production bridging classical, blues, jazz, rock n’ roll and techno-pop music. It’s like the U.S. Marine Corps Marching Band meets Stomp with Harry James, Tap Dogs, Poncho Sanchez, West Side Story and Olympic opening ceremonies in the mix. “BLAST! stands, blows, pounds, marches and whirls with panache,” says Bruce McCabe of the Boston Globe. “It sent a full house into repeated bursts of cheering applause.” THE MUSIC: BLAST! consists of 15 numbers, including one musical theatre piece, Gee, Officer Krupke, from West Side Story. Also on the program: Ravel’s Bolero, Lee’s Color Wheel, Talbot’s Split Complimentaries, Ferguson and Lane’s Everybody Loves the Blues, Ellis’ Loss, Copland’s Simple Gifts/Appalachian Spring, Hannum-Lee-Rennick’s Bettery Battle, Barber’s Medea, Ponce’s Color Wheel Too, Vanderkolff’s Lemontech Epperson and Tangerinamadidge, Mangoine’s Land of Make Believe, Miki’s Marimba Spiritual, Spiro’s Earth Beat and Lecuona’s Malaguena.
