What is the Leftist Marching Band?
The Leftist Marching Band supports political issues that some folks would call "liberal." We prefer to call them "good causes." We use the marching band genre to have fun, make music, and create a unified, progressive voice in the community. It's about humanity, not political conflict. We want to combat fear with hope and humor. We are a multigenerational band filled with music-loving people who are here to have fun and make the world a better place for us all. We're an open band - you could join us!
What the Leftist Marching Band is NOT!
The LMB does not support any particular political party or ideology. We encourage you to consider all perspectives and think for yourself. The LMB is not a radical militant group. Even though we can get darn fed up with fascists, patriarchal, capitalistic jerks, we believe in peaceful expression and support for tolerance. The LMB is not a money-making venture, because money tends to ruin everything.
What is a Leftist Marching Band practice like?!
The band practices once a week, sometimes more. We head inside in the winter and try to be outdoors in nicer weather. Check out the fun!
