Extraordinary Rendition Band

uments or war. We build community and share our love of music with each other and with our audiences. We interrupt your regularly-scheduled life with spontaneous moments of raucous musical joy. We encourage musical expression by playing with, and for, people of all levels of musical experience. We contribute to making the experience of saving the world a bit more fun and weird. We believe that any note is better than no note. We celebrate the heritage and joy of marching/roving band shows and their rich, diverse history. We hold each other to a standard of reliability regarding attendance at practices and shows. We operate as a democracy, sharing responsibilities and decisions. We value silliness, gratuitous antics and pure fun for its own sake as much as (if not more than) musical skill. Range of Music:

As the history and present state of brass, drum, marching, and roving bands shows, they are part of a rich and diverse history of styles, influences, cultures, and purposes. We hope to play songs that celebrate those histories, while having a great time playing together and with our audiences.
