A new radio documentary on radical marching bands is available from the National Radio Project’s Making Contact.
You’ll hear from members of Infernal Noise Brigade about the efficacy of this kind of protest (and why they decided to disband), from Brass Liberation Orchestra players about their Left-unity mission, their Bad Hotel intervention, and more.
The documentary is a great expository and thinks through some of the sticky issues that have been raised in numerous HONK! Festival workshops, like militancy, cultural appropriation, and the role of public joy in protest. New listeners and longtime participants alike should take a listen.
