“It was definitely a jam-packed
whirlwind of a trip. We took a day to
settle in upon arrival and then spent
the next three days performing at the
American Cemetery & Memorial at
Normandy, the foot of the Eiffel
Tower, and then Disneyland Paris
(where you saw us!). This was the first
time myself and many others have ventured outside the American border, and almost all of us didn't know what to expect out of performing for a crowd who almost definitely knew nothing about us. The 110 actually performed in Ireland and Italy back in 2013, but only a minority (4th/5th-year members) got to experience that. We're used to an adoring crowd during our halftime shows back here in Ohio and always impress opposing fans when we occasionally travel on the road with the football team, but who knows what to expect from international spectators? It was exciting to see our high-energy style met well by this untapped crowd, where the smiles were wide and the cheers were loud. After the performance days, we got to explore Paris (with one quick day in London) and focus on taking in all the culture and entertainment the city had to offer.” Kyle Arnott, Ohio University Marching 110 Trombonist.
One sound that really is a focus in the parks is a simple sparkle. Prior to all announcements and events, this pretty twinkly jingle will play gaining your attention and opening your mind to the magic that proceeds!
