BLAST!
BLAST! is an exciting concept in live entertainment. Redefining musical theater, and unlike the symphony, the cast are in constant motion, executing intricately choreographed drill movements while performing two hours of music on brass and percussion instruments. BLAST! has no storyline but draws its musical inspiration from the classics, blues, jazz, rock and roll, and Broadway. As in opera and musical theater, the performers act, dance, and sing.
