Tis the season for live music and I got my summer kicked off in fine fashion last night with The March Fourth Marching Band. The are a collective of roughly 20 musicians, 4 stilt walkers/dancers, hula hoopers, and a few burlesque-type dancers who pump as much energy into the crowd as any band I've ever seen. I highly recommend seeing them if you find the following video at all entertaining because while it shows what they do it in no way captures the vibe of being there.

The video comes from their official site and hat is worth poking around in as well; they are quite an interesting troupe. That is no longer true so here is their official website:

I saw them at a new-to-me venue that was pretty awesome as well; the Mishawanka Ampitheatre is nestled right next to The Poudre River in The Poudre Canyon. The picture doesn't really do it justice but you get the idea.

I will be returning on July 9th to see Bob Schneider.
Who is on your list?
