The Circus Bee

"The Circus Bee" is a circus march, or screamer, composed by musician Henry Fillmore and published by his family's publishing house in February 1908. It is a technically advanced composition and is used as openers and encores in concerts.[1]

The march is named after an imaginary circus newspaper and reflects Fillmore's lifelong interest in circuses and his experiences while touring with five different shows.[2]
