Circus Bee (Fillmore)

The Circus Bee is a circus march composed by Henry Fillmore in February 1908. The march is named after an imaginary circus newspaper and reflects Fillmore's personal enthusiasm for the excitement and sounds of the Big Top. Traditionally scored as a technical showcase for concert band, this arrangement for percussion ensemble is a great feature for mallet players.
