"The Magic Circus Band"
EE took on this subtitle in early 2009 with the arrival of Kate Riegle-van West, a young performer with circus/acrobatic experience. Prior to Riegle-van West's involvement, the group had already incorporated feats such as hooping while playing an instrument as well as dedicated jugglers. The subtitle now gives proper credit and billing to the full spectacle that the group currently presents.

Famous quotes containing the words magic, circus and/or band:
“Do you come to a philosopher as to a cunning man, to learn something by magic or witchcraft, beyond what can be known by common prudence and discretion?”

“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
—Joseph Hopkinson (1770–1842)
