Barnum and Bailey’s Fractured Favorite

When Karl King was conducting circus bands he would frequently edit his marches so the same composition could be used for contrasting acts (for example a “lion” act one time, and a “trapeze” act the next). In the same spirit, Thomas Leslie has creatively repurposed this familiar march to suit an imaginary “clown” act; complete with novelty percussion sounds and a few surprises sprinkled in. A bit outrageous, but definitely fun!
