I played Entry of the Gladiators as I read your post. And as soon as it started my inner voice/child screamed in delight "CIRCUS!!". I never knew this song by it's true name, but recall so many fond memories as a child of going to see RBBBC as a wee child, and this song is woven all through it.
Why were they not fond of it? This song goes hand in hand with the show. The grand entrance, all pomp and circumstance as everyone parades in. It was glorious.
Not gonna lie though, as it played, and I read, tears rolled down my cheeks. For the loss of all your jobs, for the loss of my childhood. I will always have all the wonderful memories, but it's heartbreaking to know there will be no more shows. For all the children who will never get to go.
Vargas will still come through and play here in San Diego. I believe they are coming through soonish. It's just not the same though. Not even close. Ringlings was/is THE CIRCUS. I saw most my RB shows shows growing up in Glendale, CA. It was a huge deal to me. So exciting and magical.
I feel like I've lost a family member. And if it feels like that to me I can't imagine the grief you all are going through. Thank you, to all of you, for all the joy and happiness you've provided the world for all these years. You, and the show will be missed.
