Climb aboard our high-speed journey through a world where motion connects us all. All Aboard begins by framing speed as a defining force of modern life. It is something that drives us, motivates us, and keeps us racing ahead. But the moment we step onto the train platform, we become part of a shared experience far bigger than any individual.

As the train launches forward, the production bursts into energy and color, capturing the thrill, chaos, and character of travel. Each passenger becomes a story, each moment a fleeting intersection of lives. The opener celebrates a lively mix of people from every background moving together, even if only for a short stretch of track. The show then slows its pace, revealing the quieter side of the journey. Surrounded by strangers, we’re reminded that everyone carries hopes, struggles, and destinations of their own. A reflective ballad opens a window into these inner worlds, offering warmth, beauty, and a sense of connection as the train continues onward. The final act returns to momentum in the form of an exhilarating surge of rhythm and forward drive. Even as the passengers diverge toward their own futures, the show's closer emphasizes that the journey is never truly solitary.

All Aboard concludes on an uplifting note, celebrating shared paths, unexpected connections, and the ongoing search for where we’re meant to be.

Symphony No. 8 by Dmitri Shostakovich
Never Enough by Loren Allred
I Want It All by Queen
Arranged by Tim Mitchell and Zach Ohara
Front Ensemble by Luke DeDominces
Sound Design by Tim Mitchell

All Mine tells a dramatic parable of ambition, greed, and the cost of obsession, set against the evocative backdrop of the California Gold Rush. The show follows a journey that begins with the shimmering promise of discovery: the thrill, hope, and fevered excitement of striking it rich. As the pursuit intensifies, that promise twists into a relentless chase, where competition, tension, and desperation grow in equal measure.

In the heart of the story lies the seduction of "more:" the belief that one final claim, one final strike, will finally satisfy. But the deeper the characters dig, the more consuming the desire becomes, revealing how easily fortune can turn into fixation.

The production ultimately builds to a bold, high-energy conclusion where ambition reaches its breaking point. This show invites performers and audiences alike to ask: When does the pursuit of greatness become the loss of ourselves? It’s a powerful aesthetic journey of discovery, downfall, and the intoxicating illusion of "enough."

Music
Horn of Plenty by James Newton Howard
The Hanging Tree by James Newton Howard
Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Lorde
Arranged by Tim Mitchell
Front Ensemble by Luke DeDominces
Sound Design by Tim Mitchell

In a world where spectacle replaces mercy and survival becomes a performance, The Arena follows the journey of those forced to fight for their lives under the watchful eyes of a powerful regime. Each year, young competitors are chosen and thrust into an arena designed for conflict. A place where fear is entertainment, and hope is a dangerous act of rebellion.

The show traces the emotional arc of this brutal ritual: the rising tension of selection, the overwhelming roar of the crowd, and the terrifying stillness before the battle begins. Once inside the arena, every heartbeat becomes a weapon as alliances form, betrayals surface, and survival demands impossible choices. Amid the chaos, a single voice of defiance begins to rise; a spark that refuses to be extinguished.

As whispers of resistance grow, songs once meant to control transform into symbols of unity. What begins as a fight to survive becomes a struggle to break free from the system itself. The music swells with the courage of those who dare to stand against oppression, turning fear into fire and the arena into the birthplace of rebellion.

In the end, the spectacle meant to display power instead reveals its cracks, as the tributes' courage echoes far beyond the walls of the arena. The Arena becomes a story not just of survival, but of awakening, resistance, and the moment when one act of bravery can ignite an entire revolution.

Love, Ellie - Marching Band Show

Original Music by Jeff Chambers
Arranged by Jeff Chambers and Zach Ohara
Sound Design by Pete Chambers

The ensemble steps inside a world built on steel, rhythm, and relentless motion. The show opens deep within a bustling factory, where metallic textures and angular motifs evoke the clang, hiss, and drive of industry coming to life. Each performer becomes part of the assembly; precision, power, and mechanical intent fused into sound and motion.

As the gears settle into a steady hum, a more introspective voice emerges. A delicate ballad rises from within the machinery, carrying a quiet, persistent pulse. Here, the show reveals the hidden soul of the mechanical world; beauty inside repetition, humanity within the hum. This moment of vulnerability offers contrast and depth, reminding us that even the most rigid systems can resonate with emotion.

Momentum returns with force in the final movement. Rhythms sharpen, textures thicken, and the machine world surges back to maximum power. Themes from the ballad reappear, transformed and accelerated, as the mechanisms push toward their peak. But what once felt unstoppable begins to falter. The gears grind. The pulse stutters. The towering structure strains under its own intensity. In its climactic conclusion, the show captures the dramatic fall of a mechanical giant; its long reign collapsing in a cascade of sound and motion. With one final crash, the factory’s relentless engine is silenced, leaving only the echo of what once roared.

New in our 2026 catalog, this best-selling show is now available in an alternate instrumentation for a stationary percussion section.

Show Description
The story of Narcissus is a timeless cautionary tale about the dangers of self-obsession. In the wild mountains of Greece, a handsome young man named Narcissus grew up admired for his beauty, yet he scorned the love of others, caring only for himself. One day, while wandering, he discovered a crystal-clear pool of water. Leaning over to drink, he was captivated by a beautiful face reflected in the water. Unaware that it was his own image, Narcissus became entranced, unable to tear himself away. He spent day after day gazing at the face he so adored, yet could never touch. Eventually, overcome by his longing, he wasted away, forever in love with a reflection he could never possess. Visual themes including Greek architecture, nature-based props such as mountains, and reflective materials representing the pool of water will bring Man In The Mirror to life on the field.

Music
Blue Skies by Irving Berlin
Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinski
Stormworks by Stephen Mellilo
Arranged by Jeff Chambers
Percussion by Tim Mitchell and Luke DeDominces
Sound Design by Tim Mitchell

Storms change more than the weather, they reshape the world around them. Stormworks begins in a place of ease and optimism, where clear skies stretch effortlessly across the horizon. But this calm is fragile. A subtle unease begins to form, as if the air itself knows a change is coming. Familiar brightness becomes shadowed, and the mood shifts as the first signs of a gathering storm take hold.

What was once peaceful is overtaken by a rising, unavoidable force. The storm arrives with full intensity: sharp, angular, and unrestrained. Energy fractures and swirls, creating a sense of chaos and momentum. This is the heart of the tempest, the moment when everything is cast into motion and nothing feels certain. But every storm eventually breaks. Slowly, the atmosphere opens. The weight lifts. What was dark begins to give way to clarity. Hope enters quietly at first, then grows, revealing a renewed sense of direction and possibility. The world that reemerges is not the same one that existed before the storm.

The show concludes in radiant warmth. Light expands. And from the storm’s passing, a renewed, strengthened spirit takes flight, celebrating resilience, clarity, and the beauty of a transformed sky.

As the music evolves through the hypnotic pulses of Phillip Glass to the exciting harmonies of Wojciech Kilar, these patterns interlock in unexpected ways, mirroring the challenges and revelations that accompany transformation. The color orange weaves through every moment, a visual representation of energy, creativity, and optimism, guiding the audience through this journey of change.
