Epic Bacon Funk IMEA by Benjamin Dean Taylor published on 2016-03-08T14:12:02Z Live performance at IMEA 2016. Epic Bacon Funk (grade 3) Sam Fritz - solo alto saxophone and director Center Grove Middle School Band Program note As an American people, perhaps nothing unifies us more than our shared love of bacon. Our culture is epically obsessed with it! In fact, the average American eats 18 pounds of bacon per year! It fascinates me that bacon has progressed from being an occasional addition to scrambled eggs or burgers or salads or a BLT to now being found everywhere! Bacon donuts, bacon potato chips, bacon ice cream, chocolate covered bacon, even bacon flavored soda. Oreos has a bacon cream filling flavor and you can even find bacon flavored toothpaste and dental floss. I love bacon and yet I feel a tinge of guilt every time I eat it. We all know it isn't healthy for us! And so epic bacon funk enthusiastically celebrates and humorously questions America's love of bacon.
