Blast!

I've never been to Blast!

This is the American version of Stomp! And they are coming this weekend for one show only to the 1894 Grand Opera House in Galveston, TX.

Blast is hard to explain. It was born from the Star of Indiana drum corp. The pageantry brought to the stage by Blast requires not only top musical skill, but extreme athleticism as well. This quote may help you get a good feel for the show Blast brings to the stage:

"BLAST!, a celebration of movement and music, almost defies description. Born on athletic fields across the nation, it is a novel art form evolved from the showmanship of outdoor pageantry. A unique experience, BLAST! explodes the genre with the artistry of the theatre. Bruce McCabe of the Boston Globe says, 'BLAST! doesn’t falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock n roll, and techno-pop music. It sent the full house into repeated bursts of cheering and applause [with] the thrill of seeing sheer virtuosity in a different kind of art form. BLAST! is entertainment of a high order.'"


That I'd like to see.
