About Us:
The Pride of Indy Band & Color Guard is a community organization comprised of musicians and pageantry artists whom perform, promote, and increase public interest and awareness in the instrumental ensemble mediums. We are comprised of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender & GLBT-friendly musicians and conduct our activities in a supportive, accepting and affirming atmosphere. Founded in March of 2005, we are the only LGBTS band and color guard in the state.

We strive to perform in a variety of venues and musical styles. This is evident when you look at our performance schedule for 2006. This schedule includes six concerts, six pep music performances, one parade and a variety of visits to other cities to participate in their pride events. In addition to performances, the organization participates in social outings and has weekly rehearsals.

Our core rehearsal group consists of roughly 45 people for full ensemble and 5-12 for our smaller ensembles which include a Jazz Band, Woodwind Ensemble and a Brass Ensemble.
