Julius Fucik was born today in 1872, in Prague. He is the ‘Bohemian Sousa’, a reputation based on his many spirited compositions.

The Entrance of the Gladiators, a prime Fucik march, is mostly associated with Circus Extravaganzas. We recommend you look him up on YouTube, just for the associated thrill you will experience by hearing his work. Its familiarity is a good part of its appeal.

Rhinos applaud Extravagance in its many forms, don’t We?
