THE PEREIRA GLOCKENSPIEL . . .
Our Glockenspiel is a part new and part refurbished multi-ethnic custom creation. It was once located in a church where St. Francis Xavier Cabrini founded a school and taught from 1890-1910.
All the new parts have been upgraded to non-corresive materials. Every fastener, including screws, lock washers, nuts and bolts have been upgraded to stainless steel. Also stainless steel is the drive chain, the part that turns the table displaying the animated figures. All the rest of the new parts are either galvanized or aluminum.
All parts are new with the exception of the steel parts, these have been refurbished. Our Glockenspiel is comprised of a Main Stage (Upper Level) and a Minor Stage (Lower Level). The Main Stage supports four (4) pairs of 60 inch (5 foot) animated figures and a 60 inch clock. There are a total of ten interchangeable 60 inch figures. The Minor Stage can support up to two 36 inch (3 foot) animated figures. There are a total of fourteen interchangeable 36 inch figures.
The Glockenspiel's life-like figures are made of waterproof vinyl and latex materials and can withstand rain, snow and temperatures as low as (-40) degrees Fahreneit. The figures feature the 5 continents of the world. They are North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The beautiful figures represent the people of various origins. They are Native American, Irish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, African American, Jewish, Chinese and Argentine. Also featured are American Western Square Dancers as well as Santa and Mrs. Claus for the holiday season.
During periods of inactivity, the 60 inch clock on the Main Stage faces outward toward the viewers. During the performance, the Main Stage will rotate at regular intervals and project outward approximately 30 inches to reveal the pairs of dancing animated figures. While the Main Stage figures are performing, the Minor Stage will project outward approximately 30 inches to reveal one or two of the 36 inch figures. The Minor Stage figures are the Master of Ceremonies. They address the audience and provide a narrative via a recorded message.
The Pereira Glockenspiel is the largest most sophisticated and complex ethnic presentation of its kind, certainly here in the United States and perhaps beyond.
