Twins To Play Violin, Star In Circus Tightrope Act WICHITA, KS -- Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus announced today that local twins will star in a new tightrope and violin show. Scott T. Walsh, notorious Ringleader and Master Clown for the world-renowned circus, said the twin boys, Joshua and Jonathan McElfresh, would perform on the tightrope at center ring while playing their violins. The boys began playing the violin during a history class at Beech Elementary School in Wichita just last week. One of their gym teachers, Wiley Crandell, reportedly lodged his head in a volleyball net. In response to encourgement from classmates, Joshua and Jonathan immediately began playing sad songs on their violins. Fire Rescue units were called to remove the teacher's head from the net.
