About the Marching Band

The Rainbow City Marching Band is a loud and proud marching band with a spirited drumline and dazzling color guard. Since 1998, we've been marching in Seattle to represent LGBTQIA+ musicians in outdoor events all summer. We're an inclusive ensemble that judges our excellence by the joy we create and the family of musicians we gather. We have fun together while focusing on honing our performance to thrill our audiences. Wherever we go, we have a great time!
