BLAST!, winner of the 2001 Tony® Award for “Best Special Theatrical Event” and the 2001 Emmy® Award for “Best Choreography,” is comprised of 35 brass, percussion, and visual performers brought together in a unique explosion of music and theatre. Born on athletic fields across the nation, BLAST! is a novel art form evolved from the showmanship of outdoor pageantry.

According to Bruce McCabe of the Boston Globe: “BLAST! is an exuberant 15-number show that doesn't falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock n' roll, and techno-pop music. BLAST! stands, blows, pounds, marches, and whirls with panache. It sent a full house into repeated bursts of cheering and applause.”
