The Baldwinsville Marching Band's sixth performance of "Godzilla Eats Las Vegas" at Central Square 10/20/2012. It's 4 am in Las Vegas. The nightly shows have ended,,,, yet something lurks in the darkness beyond the strip.... Somewhere in the nearby desert, a nuclear experiment has gone terribly wrong and threatens Sin City !!! It's Monster versus Man baby, on the greatest stage of all... Based on the wind ensemble piece of the same name by Eric Whitacre. 'Godzilla Eats Las Vegas' was commisioned by the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 1996. As the composer explains: "The musicians are called upon to scream in terror, dress like Elvises (Elvi), and play in about thirty different styles from mambo to cheesy lounge music. It has been played on the steps of the Capitol by the United States Marine Band, by the Scottish National Wind Symphony (they play in kilts, so help me God), and I have video of a Japanese audience visibly confused and shaken by the whole experience. Can you imagine?" Can Vegas defeat Godzilla?
