Lavender Guard Bands

Lavender Guard Bands is a group of LGBTQIA+ musicians and color guard who rehearse and perform together in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon. Our goals are to foster community and increase LGBTQIA+ representation of the area through creative expression.

Currently the Lavender Guard is in the process of formation by starting with a perform-in-place ensemble called the Lavender Guard Band. This is an ensemble open to any LGBTQIA+ brass and/or woodwind player, percussionist, or color guard/dancer.

The current plan is to play at local queer events and potentially work towards a marching ensemble that performs in parades. One day we may even be able to organize a field show (similar to a halftime show or drum corps) for members who are interested!
