gay gay supergay marching band

Hi fellow abqueers!
I want to make a proposal. Does anyone want to start a gay marching band for Pride and other fun purposes? Here is my vision:
1) we should call ourselves "The Band Fags" (did anyone else get called that in high school for being in marching band??
2)we should wear amazing DIY costumes and must never ever ever wear matching polo shirts.
here's the prob, peeps. I can play the flute, but I am just not equipped to direct a marching band. But if any of you wanted to, and shared my vision, I would join in on the fun and a few of my friends would too (oddly, mostly flute players but also a french hornist)
here is a little inspiration: http://www.extra-action.com/
I hope someone takes a big fat queer bite outta this idea. just don't steal it and try to pass it off as yr own.

The band in San Francisco is very good and they have lots and lots of fun.; ▶ Reply to This
