Spring Season 2008 is here, and that means you will soon see not just humming birds and butterflies flitting about blooming gardens, but also the flags of the Flyboys of Flag Troupe Houston taking to the air, as the flag-dancers make their appearance at several events during the months of March and April - all of them in downtown Houston.  Each of the shows will be different, so even if you happen to see all three, you will see something new each time. 
 
First in line is the grande damme of all Houston parties, The Bunnies on the Bayou 29 outdoor cocktail and dance party taking place on the beautiful courtyard grounds of the prestigious Wortham Center on Easter Sunday afternoon.  The Flyboys have been part of this annual event since 2004, and have traditionally used this venue to premiere new routines.

This year will be no different, as feature two new routines: one, a classic everyone will recognize, and the other a very special Flyboys dance mix called "Tabrizian Battle for the Favor of the Gods."  If you miss this show, your next chance to see this new special production won't be till late June.  For details on this new show, see the Flyboys myspace page on Friday (links to it from our official website at www.houstonflyboys.com).  For details on BOTB 29, check the www.bunniesonthebayou.org website.
 
The BOTB show will be followed by an appearance with the Bayou City Performing Art's Gay Men's Chorus of Houston's show: "Totally Awesome: Echoes of the 80's," at Jones Hall, on Monday March 31.  Another first for Flyboys, as they flag-dance for the first time to a live chorus, and for the first time at Jones Hall.  Showtime is 7:30 PM, and tickets start as low as $19.  See the www.bayoucityperformingarts.org website for more information. 
 
Next is a stint as the halftime show for the Houston Roller Derby match up on Sunday, April 13, at the Verizon Theater. Doors open at 4PM.  Guaranteed that this will be a first for many in the audience to see flaggers, let alone the synchronized Flyboys.  What is not guaranteed is what they'll make of it.  We predict shock followed by awe.  Details coming soon to www.houstonrollerderby.com.
 
Come see us sometime this Spring, and see the new numbers, the new flags, the new costumes, and the new boys.
