5.18 (Mount St. Helens)
On May 18, 1980, a major eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in the state of Washington, United States. The eruption (a VEI 5 event) was the only significant one to occur in the contiguous 48 U.S. states since the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California. This show pays tribute to the beauty of the mountain, the power of the explosion, and the aftermath in four parts: Majestic Mountain, Spirit Lake, Eruption and Rebirth. Internet research will provide you with a plethora of imagery for your field show production. With digital backdrops and flags, you should have no trouble creating scenery, props, equipment and costumes for your presentation. This show offers many unique musical moments that would work well with a variety of themes or guard ideas.
