Norwalk, CT---A good day for Brett Barlow is when something goes wrong.
Not terribly wrong; just wrong enough for him to feel that he's earned his paycheck.
Barlow is a trumpet player and director of the nine-piece band that performs for every performance of "Fully Charged," the new production from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth.
This year, the circus will be in Bridgeport -- showman P.T. Barnum's adopted hometown -- Thursday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 21, for eight performances at the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard.
Barlow's job is to keep the music and his musicians coordinated with the action, and the performers and animals cued to the music -- no matter what. All the music is original and created especially for each tour, he pointed out. The band has four horn players and a five-piece rhythm section.
