Blast : 5 of 5

Several months ago, Disney's California Adventure featured a couple of numbers from this show as an attraction, and I read tons of reviews praising the performance. When I saw the complete show was coming to Austin, I had to go, and I'm thrilled that I did. Blast is an amazing combination of all of the elements of Drum Corps (brass, percussion, marching, flags, and twirling) with a spectacular Stomp-like flair. The music is all live, enhanced by non-marchable instruments (keyboard, trap set) on a huge Hollywood Squares set at the rear of the stage. There is amazing acrobatics here, too - flag throwing, people doing one-handed cartwheels while holding heavy brass instruments, along with surprise set elements, like a descending rack of toms instantly played by twenty percussionists! Anything and everything made the audience cheer (including me) - Blast was an incredible experience!
