Lots in common with vacuum cleaners . . .

"Oh, it's authentic all right - an authentic pick-up band (hopefully) sight-reading isolated parts from marching band arrangements. Poor voicings, arrangements and technically sloppy - at best! I believe this is the worst recording I have ever heard of a more-or-less professional recording group. Buy it if you must, in quantity even, and make a beeline for the nearest skeet range so this recording will not have been made in vain. I do believe I smell horses . . ."

Rough and Raw with Lots of Energy

"This sounds authentic. These guys never let ragged timing or wrong notes get in the way of the excitement and energy they are trying to convey. Don't let their lack of polish or correctness deter you. This is the real circus experience."

This CD was perfect

"I bought this for a children's function we had at our church to be used as carnival background music. It was PERFECT and we will definitely use it again for other functions."
