Under the Rug is a dynamic marching band show that uncovers what we try to hide beneath the surface. Featuring lively 1950s muzak, driving big band jazz, and a heartfelt jazz ballad, the show blends nostalgia with intensity. A trumpet solo, trombone solo, and baritone saxophone solo each bring moments of personality and depth, highlighting the ensemble’s versatility. As the production builds, the sweeping motif becomes more insistent, culminating in a dark, hard-hitting closer where everything hidden is finally revealed.
This show was originally commissioned for the 2025 marching band season.
