Houstonist Was There: MarchFourth Marching Band at Market Square

Jugglers, performers on stilts, dancing girls, horn players, a bass player, drummers and percussionist all converged on Market Square as the sun went down for a little free early evening entertainment. It was Portland's own MarchFourth Marching Band who provided Friday nights free show and we posted about them earlier in the day. So we took our own advice and headed down there to catch this unique and highly entertaining show.

As we strolled up we were greeted by performers on stilts doing acrobatic tricks and the sound of the funkiest tunes you've ever heard a marching band play. There was a bit of juggling and some choreographed dancing. The group consisted of at least 20 performers and they played for about an hour to a crowd of about 100 people and kids.

Later that night they played Notsuoh and tonight the group plays Austin on this last leg of their 2007 Fall tour.
