This is not only great cardiovascular exercise for the players and dancers but also for anybody who watches it. Just seeing and listening to this massive corps of dancers and musicians is guaranteed to get your heart pumping with emotion. These first rate ’showmen’ could bring the crowd to their feet on any football halftime show in America.
What an incredible spectacle!
I can’t believe this festival (or whatever it is) hasn’t been on TV in the US or some big travel magazine or 60 Minutes! It’s sooo entertaining!
It reminds me of the gigantic production dance numbers Hollywood used to do in the 30’s, 40’s and early 50’s. Or the MardiGras in New Orleans. Or the half-time show at the SuperBowl.
But actually I think it’s bigger and better than any of those. The drum corps especially is noteworthy. As a former music major I know how much effort it takes to put on a producion number like these guys and gals do….i.e. all that choreagraphed motion and music in perfect coordination takes a LOT of work, dedication and enthusiasm. It’s fantastic!
I would love to see something like this in person (in fact there’s a good chance I will soon).
