EE uses brass and drum marching band instrumentation, our own costumes, performance antics and theatrics to create a variety of entertainment environments.

Our music ranges from Moroccan folkloric-trance, to Led Zepplin, RadioHead, New Orleans-infused funk, and horn/percussive jamming. We will have trombones, saxaphones (bari and alto) and percussionists, and dancing.
