The Evolution

The Evolution is a show following a musical styling as it evolves from its traditional roots to a more modern, creative and multi-influenced form of music. The show is designed to follow the journey that Squid took through their musical careers. Starting in the very traditional and regimented ranks of competitive Pipe and Drum Bands and then moving on to become a performing arts group. Injecting instrument tricks, stunts and choreography into their music, and drawing influence from many other forms of music including African drumming, Brazilian drumming, Hip Hop, Funk music and Rock and Roll.

The Evolution is a very high-energy show that entertains audiences of all ages with it's musical diversity, and at the same time thrills them visually with instrument tricks, stunts and choreography as well as lighting techniques that are both creative and electrifying. It draws theatrical influence from such groups as STOMP, BLAST and Blue Man Group.

The Evolution has drawn consistent standing ovations and rave reviews and promises to be a highly successful theatre production.
