Meet the Design Team
Music City Drum Corps is excited to welcome back the design team from 2020 under the leadership of Shane Gwaltney.
After cancelling the 2020 season in March of last year the design team put their production plans on the shelf. Once tour plans were more solidified the team chose to create a new production special for this upcoming experience. “As we planned the summer tour it felt more and more like a circus tour and that became the inspiration for Circuloso” said Gwaltney.
"This season and our show, Circuloso, provides us with a few new opportunities to engage the audience and create new Music City fans. Expect to see elements of our show spill into and around the parking lot and stadium to give the audience a more immersive and intimate experience of Circuloso!"
Program Coordinator, Shane Gwaltney spent a few minutes with the drum corps via zoom telling them more about Circuloso and even gave the membership a sneak peak into the performers look. “The membership has heard a bit more about the show and seen some costuming. It was great to see their reactions and excitement and we can not wait to get together in May for the first time as a drum corps” said Gwaltney.
