Hello Seattle Hoopers,
Honk Fest West Needs YOU!
My name is Mike and I am in a marching band from Chicago,
EE Marching Band, or Environmental Encroachment.
We and many others will be in Seattle, March 21-23 for a very fun festival, HONK Fest, which will have fun marching bands taking to the streets for three days,
with a Sunday scheduled at the Ballard Skate Park with all the bands.
Perfect time to bring the hoops out to some funky raw music.
The line up includes Hungry March Band from New York CIty, EE and Black Bear Combo from Chicago, and Carnival Band from Vancouver, as well as some of Seattle's finest street brigades!~ and many other bands, burners and paraders. Please come out and have some fun with us. I can speak for Hungry, BBC, EE and some others in saying this will be our first trip to the Pacific Northwest. Its real soon!
Our band, EE uses hooping in our performances, and I am gonna put out the request to have anyone bring extra hoops for us to borrow. With our instruments and sleeping bags and flags, we will have little room for hoops, I know we need the collapsing or the twisting hoops to save space, they're on the band's wish list.
But we want to borrow some anyway to meet and hoop some with ya's.
These will be kind of pub crawls on Friday and Saturday night, in Georgetown and Ballard neighborhoods, then Sunday at the skate park.
TELL EVERYONE.
---From the website:
The streets, cafes, & pubs of of Ballard, & Georgetown will be overflowing with the lively sound of horn players and drummers from more than a dozen street bands. The bands are converging on Seattle from five states & Canada for the very first HONK! FEST WEST!
We are celebrating our music, our comraderie, and our determination to help bring joy, music & dancing to the streets of our cities.
Easter Sunday, we ask that you join us In recognition of the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Be part of HONK!Band Mass, at the Ballard Skate Park, Ballard Street Market, and points in between, from noon to 3pm. Several special bands will be joining us, along with members of the Backbone Campaign, a 15-foot dragon puppet, and hopefully, you & your friends on this special day.---
