40 Years and Still Marching

The San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, like the San Francisco Bay Times, began in 1978, although the Band had a different name then: the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band and Twirling Corps. To mark the shared 40th anniversary, we are presenting a special section that looks at both the Band’s pioneering past and its current status as one of the nation’s premier community-based concert and marching bands.
