What Cheer? Brigade
Members of the "What Cheer? Brigade" from Providence, RI perform at Statue Park in Somerville, MA as part of the sixth annual Honk! Festival.
This band's intesity and talent were amazing, and the crowd just ate it up. It's the first time I've ever seen a mosh pit form for a "marching band!"
We heard about the festival from a chance encounter with a tuba player this summer in Vancouver (Marc Lindy of the excellent Carnival Band, who were there, too). I'm really glad we went down to check it out!
There were 29 "street" bands performing all day all over Somerville, and many of them also played the next day at the Harvard Square Oktoberfest. The variety and talent were amazing.
