Show Description

Arturo Marquez’s “Danzón No. 2” is the musical backbone for this show, with additional source music including Havana by Camila Cabello, On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez and Bailando by Enrique Iglesias. This show fully explores the concept of “Dance” as an individual, as a group, and in many styles. Guard choreographers will love the possibilities with this show! This show was originally designed for the Columbians Drum and Bugle Corps in Pasco, Washington and has been since adapted to fit a high school marching ensemble.
