MARCH FOURTH  3:30-4:00pm, 5:30-6:00pm
MarchFourth is a date, a command, and a band.  Imagine Duke Ellington meets Sgt Pepper in an international big-top Fantasia evoking a familial community reminiscent of the Grateful Dead.  Imagine a 1920's speakeasy where Mr. Bungle meets the Shogun Warriors in a PG Clockwork Orange.  Imagine running into this 35-person spectacle marching through a festival, down a street, or onto stage. The impact is immediate and infectious.
