Show Description

The American industrial revolution saw a shift from a technical based industry to a manual-labor based industry. This shift ultimately brought unprecedented economic growth to the United States. It also happened on the shoulders of many hard working and unseen workers. Intended for smaller bands, this show gives your ensemble a chance to tell an important part of our country’s history while displaying a diverse set of source music!
