The Band


One might relate a marching band to a historical time, a time of intense relations within the sociological and enigmatic nature of our race and a sense of aggression of militant perfection. March Fourth Marching Band is in many ways that which has been a movement, exactly what the name implies except for one thing, the name is a date and the people who make up March Fourth Marching Band are about as opposite as any militia or assembly that is about perfection, this band is about the people and their beliefs toward a better future for us all. Marching Fourth through with love and pure humorous insanity of the brave to embark on the what at times feels like the chocolate factory and oz with a little of the forbidden zone thrown into create the backdrop for there show. While in Germany there beliefs were tested and tried with the anti-american sentiment thrown in there faces and yet after they performed, the crowds had forgotten about any political systems and saw a raw face to our humanity, and for those who held fast to the binding ties of our political platforms there responses were, “thank you for changing my view of Americans”. They now are on a national tour, infecting the country with their grooves and visuals of a better tomorrow and never forgetting what it is they truly bring us all, a sense of hope.

DUDES! DUDETTES! Saw you play at the OctoberFest in Harvard Square on Sunday. Words fail, but you have a HUGE new fan with me. That's one infectious groove presented. Was with mys sister who is very not well with lung cancer - she got her booty knocked but good.
Thanks for being one of the best.
