We are Greenbelt MD’s very own community street band. We draw inspiration from funk, pop and New Orleans Second Line tradition, and deliver with the passion of Mardi Gras and Carnival.
We’re a Honk Band! based in Greenbelt MD.
Where we play next!!!!
call 4:15, show4:45-5:45 We’ll styart at the stage, parade through the entire festival (a warm-up to Monday’s full parade!) and then end up back at the main stage! Confirmed that they want us to play but times are tbd probable tunes Green Onions This parade is ON ok, this is ON! From the organizers We’ve formed an organizing committee to scope out the celebration and have decided that we will have a Roosevelt Center festival on October 4, from 12 – 7pm. The focus that day will be on music, and we would love to have the Honk! play early on in the festivities, around 1pm after Katy Gaughan’s drum circle. We’d also like to invite the Co-op to table during the event as has been done during other festivals in the Center. I look forward to hearing from you. The day simply wouldn’t be complete without the Honk! With Katy’s drum circle and the Honk! kicking things off, we’ll have ourselves a rousing, rowdy start! HONK Somerville participants, please fill out this form (link below) as soon as you can. If you have a second going, have them fill it out too. Dan and MM need to get back to the organizers. Thanks so much. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJBSSp0vPeMXDnxfFW55wcBrKgEGtCaj2cBVpfc2whSyF8pQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=112029076397621378056 from the organizers: As usual, all musicians will be provided with food and accommodations by residents, volunteers, and local businesses. We always try to help with travel expenses for participating bands that have to travel from afar as best we can (we will be in touch with you about this later if we haven’t already discussed it). Keep in mind, though, that we are a non-profit organization with limited resources. Our big winter event, now in year 3!!!

We’ll play right after the drum circle finishes.
