Darwin H. Bistline, 83, Greensboro, N.C., died peacefully in his sleep Saturday July 16, 2011 after a long illness. Darwin became the band director for Altoona High School in 1966 and remained in that position until 1982. He directed his favorite signature march, "Barnum and Bailey's Favorites, and won first place in 15 out of 16 competition parades.I was lucky to be there from 1977-1979
This is was made the official march of Central Methodist University in the 70's this is The Perfect Tempo for a circus march. Any slower would sound like a second rate high school Excellent Style! Also the Percussion starting off this song is an amazing arrangement!! Thats right drline Captain in the house '08 -'09

band-o-rama is going to be an epic fail this year.
still wailing trumpets. they just can't hit the right notes so they see how high they can get.

Barnum and Bailey is my all time fav song to play. I miss playing it. Being a part of this band was the best time of my life.
