Razzle Dazzle 2.0 -- The MarchFourth Bus Project

I have been a backer of a couple of projects on Kickstarter, Razzle Dazzle 2.0 benefiting March Fourth Marching Band is my latest. I saw them in the Spring of 2008 and it is still one of the best shows I have even been to. They don't come to the East Coast often enough, so I envy you guys on the West Coast and in the Rockies where your chances at a March Fourth concert are much better. Check out the first video below for just a taste of what the band is all about and then I do hope you will check out their Kickstarter fundraising page (see below or click the link to go to their fundraiser page) for their much needed new bus and will become a backer if you can.....and will share this with others who might become backers....


About this project

The MarchFourth Bus Project

Your favorite intergalactic marching band, MarchFourth, needs a new space ship! Our beloved bus, Razzle Dazzle, is getting old and she ain't what she used to be. Razzle's not very gas efficient and spews more exhaust than we'd like to admit... and she broke down three times last year! (though amazingly we never missed a gig =) Without a reliable ride, we can't get to your town to rock your face off.
We've got our eye on Razzle 2.0, but it won't come cheap. We need YOUR love and support. We want nothing more than to continue zig-zagging around this beautiful continent, leaving a wake of biodegradable glitter and joy, for years to come. Wouldn't you like that too?
If that's not enough, we are offering some AWESOME incentives to those who back us. Git some. Every supporter over the $10 level will be immortalized on a plaque on our new bus. Thanks in advance and Joy Now! We love you...

Watch the M4 Razzle Dazzle Webisodes

Join us on the road for a tour across the country... 
Wanna know more about MarchFourth's experience on the road with Razzle Dazzle? Check out the official M4 YouTube Channel and dig all 35 of the Trail Mix: A Life with Razzle Dazzle (HD) webisodes. From Seattle to New York and everything in between, the Trail Mix playlist chronicles the last 10 months of the band's break neck touring schedule. Vicariously hang out with some of your favorite M4 members in comical behind-the-scenes moments as we dart around the United States and Canada. Kick it all off with a pre-show Razzle break down in Casa Grande, AZ last March. Push play!
We collectively refer to Razzle as our "home away from home," a retreat from the rigors of rocking night after night. Simply put, our bus is what makes us a functional operation. It's plain and simple: there isn't a next gig without a solid vehicle to safely and reliably transport MarchFourth to the show. Every donation - no matter how big or small - goes a long way to keep this band spreading the kind of love that we know is needed out there. We really need your support...
We really do want to deliver on our promise to bring your town the spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience you've come to expect from us. Support the MarchFourth Razzle Dazzle 2.0 campaign today!
