Is a mobile big band spectacular, propelled by electric bass, a diverse percussion ensemble and brassy horn section. Visually enhanced by costumed dancing beauties, acrobatic stilt walkers, unicycles, fire arts, life size marionettes, and many more theatrics, M4 invokes dancing in the streets and beyond! The sound is huge, melodic, and dynamic, taking audiences on a musical journey around the globe. MarchFourth writes and performs its own material, and also draws inspiration from an eclectic range of worldwide influences, such as Eastern European gypsy brass, samba, latin, funk, afro-beat, big-band, jazz, and rock music, as well as television, film, circus, and vaudeville.
With exceptional musical quality and energy, and the spectacle of the dancers, M4 "rocks" with the best of them, entertaining the audience with an over-the-top explosion of performance, color and charisma.
MarchFourth Marching Band has played hundreds of shows in all kinds of venues, including music festivals (Voodoo Festm, Lotus Festival, Festival International de Louisianne, Echo Project Music Fest, Oregon Country Fair, High Sierra Music Festival) and high-profile concert venues (Hollywood Bowl, Crystal Ballroom, Kennedy Center for Performing Arts), sporting events (NBA halftime shows, FIFA World Cup fanfest, and Cyclo-cross National Championships) and many corporate, civic, and private events.
