Showcase of Shows 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007

What is everyone's favorite family adventure?  Why going to a theme park, of course!  Join the Apex High School Marching Band as they take you on a wild and magical visit to Orlando's fun land. 

Experience our show and don't miss the "Lost Child" episode and "Picture Moment".  Featured is the "Pirates of the Caribbean" adventure ride, complete with pirates and smoking pirate ship!  Our color guard will amaze you with their antics during their visit to the "Teacup Ride" and "Disney Castle", while our Band plays classic Disney music themes you can't help but recognize and will make you smile.  Watch the Band's complex "diamond cutter" and serpentine moves as you follow the roller coaster ride.  If you look carefully at the formations from above, you will see Mickey Mouse magically appear.  "Experience the Magic" of the Band Season with us as you explore the VIDEO and links about our show.
