As the title suggests, this is quasi musical theatre and an optional script is included for a narrator or member of the band. There are crazy clowns, a parade of animals, toy soldiers, a trapeze artist and a marching band of little people intent on interrupting the show with wrong notes and clumsy playing! The piece ends with an upbeat jazzy rendition of the main theme, first heard on Alto Saxophone. 'Circus Scenes' is a colourful piece for all the band.
