- Race to the New World
The Applemen Marching Band presents: Race to the New World
Set sail with us as we journey through the Age of Discovery! Inspired by the daring explorers of the 16th century, our show celebrates the birth of modern navigation.....where mathematics, astronomy, and ambition collided to chart a course into the unknown.
From compass roses to celestial instruments, navigators used groundbreaking tools to connect curious minds to the New World. Their goal was more than reaching a destination...it was a revolution in how we find our way. Our performance explores the evolution of navigation, highlighting how the magnetic compass became essential for travel, especially in cloudy or foggy conditions when the stars were hidden. Join us as we bring this era to life through music, movement, and imagination
