Traditionally, the ringmaster's welcoming speech always starts with "Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all Ages". For the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Baily Circus, he continues with "Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth!" For other troops, he will say "The circus is about to begin!" or something similar.

"Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages", and then something about the specific circus. The traditional circus ringmaster is a key manager of the show along with the tentmaster, the transport manager, the advance publicity manager, the stable manager, and the front of house (seating) manager.

It is the ringmaster's job to make sure that all the artistes are available for the program (one might be sick) and to change acts around even during the show if needed. 'Track' or 'Run In' clowns are available to entertain the public for whatever length of time may be needed to fill in a crisis space should an artiste be delayed. He is also an artiste himself (usually a past act) so knows much about skills and requirements. He also manages the ring staff to make sure that rigging and equipment is put up safely -- for the act and the audience. He usually acts as the 'stand up' or straight man to act with the clowns in sketches. He is also usually the go-between on the site through the day between the shows, directors, and the artistes and the ring staff. In short, the ringmaster is a very powerful job.

A ringmaster starts off with "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. Welcome..." At Welcome it will say the circus name. "This is an Amazing and Spectacular show you are about to witness."
