Honk! was amazing. This year was my first as a performer (in Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band) vs. just a photographer and I have to say it’s a lot more fun this way. In between our own sets I did manage to take some video (all with my NEX5) of some of the other bands. I present to you:

Environmental Encroachment (Chicago, IL)

Minor Mishap Marching Band (Austin, TX)

Extraordinary Rendition Band (Providence, RI)

Rude Mechanical Orchestra (New York, NY)

What Cheer? Brigade (Providence, RI)

(yes, that is a freaking mosh pit in front of a marching band. These guys were intense)
