BIG CIRCUS FEATURES THEIR KIDS AS STARS

When the mighty Carson and Barnes Circus comes to «City» on «Showdate» hosted by the «Sponsor», it will bring generations of family fun.  Featured in its glorious 72nd annual tour are several children of performing families whose talents just about steal the show.

Seven year old Brandon Cavallini is known as the daring young boy on the flying trapeze.  Soaring more than 30 feet in the air, Brandon swings from the trapeze bar before diving into the safety net below.  He’s coached by his uncle, Tito, who proudly proclaims, “Brandon is a natural flyer, he has perfect form and an innate instinct to be a trapeze star.  I am really not surprised because circus performing is in his genes.”  With Hollywood good looks and an engaging personality little Brandon always has a fan club wherever he appears.
	
Francesca, age 12, is known as “The Sweetheart of the Circus”. With her uncle, Antonio, they perform an adagio acrobatic act that is astounding. This limber and athletic youngster is tossed into the air, executes a split-second somersault then is caught in her uncle’s hands to thunderous applause. 

Stepping back into the age of drive-ins, saddle shoes and doo-wop, Producer Barbara Byrd has assembled a trio of high-energy, fast-paced hula-hoop stars.  “Kids see so much fantastic special effects in the movies and in video games; I wanted to show the kids in our audience what can be done with a simple toy of yesteryear”.  Our hula hoop stars, Francesca, Julia and Natalie, will attempt a record-breaking gyration of 50 hula hoops each at every performance.

Amanda Loyal, age 11, traces her family’s circus heritage back seven generations to the gentle countryside of France.  She appears in the show with her father and coach, Armando, and her favorite horse, Antoinette, a one-ton Percheron.  Amanda is an accomplished bareback riding ballerina.  “My act is not just riding a horse in a pretty costume.  I have to be in top physical shape and be very strong to have the correct posture and balance while Antoinette is galloping around the ring.”

All the children that work in the Carson and Barnes Circus attend school while traveling.  School is held right after breakfast and continues to mid-afternoon.  Doug Munson, a retired teacher from Kansas formulates an individual education plan for each student.  “It is very rewarding teaching the circus children; they are highly trained professionals with an excellent work ethic, a serious discipline and a great capacity for learning.  The kids speak upward of five languages so they are teaching me while I am teaching them.”

Don’t miss these young Circus Stars along with over a hundred other performers and animals when the Giant Carson & Barnes Circus comes to the «LotLocation» in «City» on «Showdate» with shows at «Showtimes».
