Since moving to Orlando I often forget that the rest of the world doesn't have theme parks on the brain 24/7 :roll:

Here's "Place Cachee Jazz," a trio of musicians busking in 1920s wizarding Paris with their adorable puffskein, Plume!

This band exists at Epic Universe, the new Universal Studios theme park that just opened here in Orlando. There are currently three trios for a total of 9 jobs (unfortunately all jobs are part time with the majority working 2-3 days a week and a few people getting 3-4 days/wk.) Musicians are not Universal employees, and are hired 3rd party (Villa Creative.) They have just started training a set of substitute musicians this week who will rotate in depending on needs.

Obviously there's a lot more going on here besides music: acting, choreography, percussion, audience interaction.

This video features myself in the trombone spot, but there's plenty of media of the other two trombone ladies as well (Mariah Clinkscales and Andrea Rowlison)

Quite a change from RBBB! I liked the show. Good street entertainment. Glad to see you still around.

Megan,

Welcome back. Glad to see that you're not playing your Williams 6 in the street band. Is that a Conn Coprion (10H, 18H?)? Looks like a fun interim gig - nicely performed.



Bonne chance
, as they say in Paris.
