DESCRIPTION:
The Oak Creek Marching Knights perform "Africa" at the Cudahy Marching Invitational October 12th, 2013. From the Sahara Desert to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa is a continent of extremes. "Serengeti Sunrise" opens the show in dramatic fashion as you imagine the sunrise and feel the day begin to heat up. "Gazelles" is playful and upbeat as it conjures up images of these nimble and beautiful animals grazing on grasses or sprinting away from their predators. Just as the inhabitants of Africa need a break from the heat, the music provides a brief respite and a bit of rest with "Cool Shade". Finally, "Brush Fire and Rain" crackles and sizzles with excitement. You can feel the sense of relief as the welcoming rain brings the show to an exciting finish. Please enjoy this incredible journey to "Africa".
