Because of technical difficulties, the July 27, 2024, edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion was rebroadcast on August 3, 2024.
This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features circus music composed by Fred Jewell, who ran away from home to join the band of the Gentry Bros. Dog & Pony Show at age 16. He played the euphonium and the calliope. Eventually, he directed three circus bands: the band of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, the Sells-Floto Circus, and theBarnum & Bailey Circus. When he retired from circus work in 1918, he returned to his hometown of Worthington, Indiana, to be the high school band director. He composed over 100 marches and screamers, a screamer being a fast march that accompanied fast galloping animals in circus acts.
