To The Edge
To The Edge
To The Edge is an inspiring journey of courage and self-discovery. We must push past fear and embrace uncertainty, knowing that every challenge — no matter how tough — is a step toward growth. Despite setbacks and doubts, we learn to leave fear behind, forge our own path, and rise above, proving that true strength comes from daring to go to the edge. This show features plenty of subtle moments in the music to lean into the 'edge' theme, such as the battery having an exposed moment in the opener where they play on the edge of their drums. In addition to being a compelling marching band show, To The Edge is a great vehicle to teach your students about strength and courage.
